Linked XLS table problem

111 New Member
I have a table that is linked to an Excel file and code that uses this information as a recordset. The information in this excel sheet gets changed everyday by the user. The problem im having is say yesterday there was 75 records in that table. Today there is only 50. The table still shows there are 75 records. 50 of them have info and the last 25 are just blank. So when the code runs through the recordset, it keeps going through these blank fields. How can i fix this so the table ends where the information ends?

On the Tools menu, point to Database Utilities, and then click Linked Table Manager.
Select the check box for the tables whose links you want to refresh.
Click OK to refresh the links.
