Hello,

At work we use excel spreadsheets for the user interface but would like to
use access to store the data. The User machines do not have access
installed. I am looking for reading material on how to automate Access FROM
excel. I can find loads of material to automate excel from access... but
nothing the other way around... Help would be great...

Thanks in advance,
Ernst.

You don't ever really automate Access, rather you automate DAO or ADO. You
can use either of those protocols to get at data that was created in Access
(or any other database). If you search for Excel ADO or Excel DAO you'll
probably find more of what you're looking for. In the mean time, you might
get something from these links
