Hello. I need to do some automation of Access from Excel.
Can someone please point me to some good MS sites that
illustrate how to do it, its object models, etc.

For starters, could someone show me a code sample that
gets a reference to a table in an Access DB?

Thanks in advance for your example code/site refs.

I would suggest using an ADO recordset with Excel 2000 or
above.
Note: You have to make a reference to the "Microsoft
ActiveX Data Objects 2.x Library" in the Visual Basic
EditorToolsReferences dialog to use this code.

Function OpenDataTable()
On Error GoTo HandleError

Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection

Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection

cnn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=c:\AccessDatabaseFile.mdb;"

rst.Open "YourTableOrQuery", cnn, adOpenKeyset,
adLockOptimistic

......Additional Code.......

ExitHe
Exit Function
HandleError:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume ExitHere
End Function
