Question : Embed Excel into an Access tab control page
|
|
I want to embed (if possible) an Excel worksheet into an Access tab control page. Perhaps I should not be thinking of Excel in this instance. You may have another suggestion.
This grid is to be used for a scheduling item. Considerations are: 1.) all columns are dated-days and each dated-day column is the same length as all others. 2.) Each entry will take up at least 7 dated-day columns. 3.) A description will be a part of each 7 (or more) column entry - and these descriptions vary in length, taking up 1 or more columns but no more columns than the assigned number of days. These entries are saved and recalled each time the Access program is closed or run again.
I hope this is clear. Is it?
If you know how to do this and are going to describe it to me, please remember that I have no clue at all so all the instructions you can give me will be very welcome. (I have read the previous answers to relatively similar questions.)

Howdo again
I've just double checked my method - works on Access97 and 2000.
What I did was:
1. Save an Excel worksheet to my desktop (although would work in a shared drive too) 2. In form design view, click INSERT>OBJECT. Select LINK and click browse to find your file. 3. Right click on the object and change the ENABLED state to YES and the LOCKED state to NO.
That should be all you need.
If you run the form, when you double click, the spreadsheet opens and any changes are reflected instantly...
