    One Way Link From Access to Excel


    I would like to link an access table to an excel spreadsheet. I would like the link to permit the excel data to remain current with the information contained in the access table but not allow changes to the data in excel to impact the access table. How do I do this?

    Thank you,

    AFAIK, Excel link to Access is one-way. Edits in Excel do not pass back to Access. Refresh the link and edits in Excel are canceled out.
