Default excel front end to access

Is there a way to use Excel as a front end to Access? I mean via a dynamic
link similar to a linked table in Access rather than a simple import. I want
to be able to have multiple users in multiple Excel workbooks change data in
a worksheet and have the data updated in a single Access table.

I know there are ways to use Excel as a front end to generate reports and
even to modify, add, delete data from an Access table. But I don't think
there's a dynamic way of doing the update. I believe any updating would
require running a macro. I've toyed with this somewhat successfully using
articles I've found on the Microsoft Knowledge Base, such as:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...sdatabases.asp

Again, I've had moderate success and I would imagine any multi-user
functionality would be limited, if it even exists.
