Question
Hi Scott
I have question for you regarding MS Access.
I created a table that is linked with another database.The another database updates daily.
I want my access database table to refresh also daily without opening the database and should export the data to excel spreahsheet.
Is this possible. Help would by appreciated.
thanks

Answer
If a table is linked into an MDB file, then it automatically updates whenever the underlying table is updated. When you open the MDB file it will reflect the current data in the linked table. However, you can't automate the export to Excel without opening the MDB file.
