I have an excel spreadsheet and I would like to know whether or not it is
possible to open an Access database from excel using VBA?

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Kieron White

Here do you have a few tips

To open a file

Sub test()
Dim ac As Object
On Error Resume Next
Set ac = GetObject(, "Access.Application")
If ac Is Nothing Then
Set ac = GetObject("", "Access.Application")
ac.OpenCurrentDatabase "C:\OrderDatabase.mdb"
ac.UserControl = True
End If
AppActivate "Microsoft Access"
End Sub


To get info form the file see
