Getting External data

I need to analyise some data from an Acces database. In the databse i have
a field 'Date Started'. What I need to do is to bring into Excel, a simple
count of the number of records for each month e.g Jun 05.

At present I am bringing into Excel all the records for that field, and then
doing the count in Excel, but there are over 15,000 records, and I am sure
that there must be a better way of doing it.

Thanks

Alex
