First off, i'd like to say thanks to all of you who have helped me with many technical questions, and I now come to you again with another situation! Here's the problem:
I have an Access database, which is the central data system, and an Excel spreadsheet (actually lots of spreadsheets, but i'll try to keep it as simple as possible for now!) which contains data on a company's products. What I would like to do is to link the Spreadsheet to the Database in such a way that the spreadsheet's data can be viewed in real time in the database, and data can be entered into the database via a form, which then updates the spreadsheet. How would I go about setting up a system like this? The only problem is that, for the moment, it has to be done without importing the spreadsheet into the database as it is required to remain in place because it is updated, and it updates, other external spreadsheets.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Ox
