RE: Access

Hi Mohammed, Thank you for your post, An Excel spreadsheet can be linked to an Access Database, follow these steps: in Access choose the menu option File>Get External Data, select Link Tables, in the browse dialog box that opens change file type to Excel and locate your chosen workbook, the worksheets in that workbook will be displayed for selection, choose the worksheet to be linked. (Ensure that the worksheet is compatible with Access requirements, ie field headers etc). Click OK and the Excel worksheet will be displayed in your Table Objects. I hope that helped, best regards Pete.
