Hi,

I'm looking for a manual to make some code for VBA excel. I would like
to make some functions that keep track of the database and when the
database is updated, the results are also updated live and
automatically.

For instance:
I have a table with members

id name something_else


and a query like this: select count(id) from some_table

if an extra row is added, I would like to see that live in excel.
Does anybody know a site where I can start?
Regards,

Matthijs

Matthijs: I don't think it's possible. You could create a query table in
Excel that points to your MySQL database. Then you could set it's
properties to refresh every minute. Is every minute "live" enough for you?

Hi,

thanks for your tip. It is not live enough, so I have to look for some
other solution.
