Work with Access Database

How to incorporate database files into excel worksheets?

RE: Work with Access Database

Hi Holly,

If you simply wish to export an Access table into a spreadsheet then its pretty simple. Simply open the Access database and in the main window right click on the table you wish to export and select "export" from the resulting context menu. It will then prompt you to select an export format and all you need do is choose the excel version that you have.

It is also possible to create more sophisticated results by building a query and exporting that to excel. Simply create a query that captures the required information and save it. Then right click on it in the database window and proceed as before.

Regards

Stephen
