RE: Importing Data from Access into Excel



Thanks Ron,

This helps considerably. Let me step it up a notch and see if this is
possible.

The Excel file I am populating looks similar to this:

Product XYZ 6/6/2005 6/13/2005
6/20/2005

Weekly Demand
Weekly Planned Production
Weekly Actual Production
Variance

What I am trying to do is populate the cells that for each week for each row
heading for the applicable product that is indicated. Is there a way to key
off of the product designation in the spread*** to select the appropriate
information in the database to populate the appropriate cells in the work
***?
