synchronizing excel and access

I have a database of address that are downloaded from the internet to excel.
I have imported the data to access to create mail-outs easily, however, it is
necessary for me to keep the excel worksheet- as this is my only application
option when downloading the data. Some addresses have to be removed because
they are returned, so I remove them from excel and access seperately. Is
there a way to synchronize the database from access to the worksheet in excel
so that all I need to do is update excel and access will automatically update
itself?

Thank you,

Danielle

Why not just link the SS to Access by creating a linked table? Then
you can query it as if it were inside Access.

If you link to it, you're leaving the data in Excel, but are able to
manipulate it using queries etc.

If you need to have the data in Access as well, you can import and then
use the linked Excel file to do updates etc.

Yes there is. Rather than importing the data, LINK to them. File /
Get External Data / Link tables.

I have an Access database that I use frequently. Often, I take it to a home PC, or laptop to work on at night. The next day, I overwrite the old one with the one I have been working on. The only problem is - during this time, others may want to add records at the office. This causes an obvious data loss problem if I overwrite their edition of the database. Is there a way to synchronize the database? If someone made additions at...

I see this is a common question, however I haven't found any good answers. I receive ms-access mdb files from various clients. These mdb files have roughly the same structure, however each client tends to make some slight modifications to one or two tables. When I receive these files, I need to transport data into a standard file template. Currently I have to modify table field names and definitions manualy before I transport data...

Basically our webfarm is a bunch of identical servers with the load-balancing provided by a network appliance.

Our ASP.NET application is very simple - we could just copy the content to all of...

We have a number of tables in a CRM that is written in MS access that I need to be able to provide a web interface to. I can export the tables just fine using pgadmin II, but I cant' think of a clean way to import them from postgresql back to access. Synchronizing only needs to happen once a day at the most. I was also thinking of using the MS access forms with access tables that are just odbc links to the postgresql database. Does...

I'm fairly new to access, so I hope this question isn't too elementary. I'm putting together a database for my office. I want the database to be accessible to 5 or 6 users on our network and so itt may be used by more than one person at the same time. I am hoping that someone can give me an idea of some of my options in facilitating this. My instinct, from fishing around in the database options, is that it might have something to do...
