Hi, I'm a newbie, and I'm not sure I've come to the right place.
I have inherited a 95% developed access xp database, and some 95%
developed excel reports. Up to now my predecessor has been copying and
pasting the info from access onto the excel spreadsheet for the update
of the reports, my task is to automate the existing system. I can do
that using MS Query to import the data from Access to Excell, but I
have many queries on one sheet, and many virtualy identical reports
(spreadsheets) to complete, what I want to do is link the criteria in
the query to a cell in the spreadsheet.
Select * from Table_A_in_Access where X = (Cell_A1_on_the_spreadsheet)
Thanks in advance.

Wouldn't this question better be asked in an Excel newsgroup? It'll only be
a happy happenstance if you find someone here who does this from the Excel
side. You'd find people here, perhaps, who control Excel from Access via
automation.

Yes, but as I said I'm new at this. Anyone know where I can find an
excell group out there? There does not seem to be one listed in the
Google directory.

When I go to www.google.com & type excel newsgroup I get 67,000 hits.
Maybe there is one in there somewhere?

OK, Thanks. Sorry for asking a dumb question.
I have solved the problem anyway by running 19 append queries in a
macro, and (hopefully) letting them be dependant on the value of a
combo box. Then the excel sheet only needs one MS Query to retrieve
the relevant data from one table. Now I only need one spreadsheet
instead of a potential 200.
Thank all the Gods we live and learn!!
