Default Updating Records from MS Access


Hi

I am a new member of the forum.

I have a question relating to getting data from MS Access.


I have setup a spreadsheet that gets data from a MS Database (using
Database Query). The data is placed in columns A to D.

The data will be refreshed periodically. It is likely that new records
are added and some records deleted. i.e. entire rows of data.

In columns D to F, the users want to enter their own comments against
records.

I am finding that Excel is not very good at maintaining alignement
between the data in columns A to D, and D to F.

In the "External Data Range Properties" box, I have tried setting the
"... new rows ..." options to "Insert complete rows, clear unused
data". But my reocrds are still having problems retaining alignment.

Thank you for any suggestsions
