XL2000: Excel Cannot Update Links to a Microsoft Access Query
This article was previously published under Q213960
In Microsoft Excel 2000, when you create a link to a Microsoft Access query, the query is not updated dynamically. That is, when you change the
query in Access, the linked information is not automatically
updated in Excel, even if both files are open in memory at
the same time.
Excel automatically updates data only in the Access data source (that is, the table that the query is built upon); it does not automatically update the query.
To update a link from Excel to an Access query, close the dependent workbook and then re-open it.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
For more information about updating linked data in Excel, click
Microsoft Excel Help on the
Help menu, type
troubleshoot linking and sharing data with other programs in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click
Search to view the topic.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Excel 2000 Standard Edition
