Default How To Link To An ACCESS Table

Greetings,

I am using Access 2003 for my customer list. I need to access this
Access table from within an Excel 2003 worksheet. I also need to add
names to this Access table from Excel as they become available.

Is this possible and how is it done?

Any help would be most appreciated.

TIA

The wizard will not help send updates/new rows to the table. MSQuery is
more suited to read-only operations. For read/write I recommend ADO in
VBA code.

Hey Gary,

Thanks for the reply,

However, you misunderstand, I need to Link, not just Get, the data in
the Access table. I also need to add data to that table occasionally
