    Help Seting User Privileges / Special Setup please

    This is my first time on the site but I hope to be a regular here, not just asking but answering... Quick question:

    I have a server PC with a main access database, and I will create an interfase for it in Visual Basic, but I have another computer which does invoices and stuff, and it requires the price list that is on the server PC. The server might not always be on, so I have two choices that I know of:

    Establish user preferences in the main access database, and program a login from the other computer to retrieve data whenever the excel sheet is opened.

    OR

    Whenever the server administrator chooses he/she can choose to update remotely the client computer with the price list at any time when both are on.

    - I'm quite new to databases so I'd like to know which option you all would suggest I should do, or is there any other options? I know a bit about ODBC and I know TCP/IP enough to send info over VB, to another computer on the network (and insert the info in another db), but is there any easier Access-Related way? Or a way to access a .MDB over the network from Excel?

    Thanks a lot in advance,

    I've solved that problem...

    My problem now is this:

    I want to make a spreadsheet in Excel that on startup it will process a query and import data to a sheet in the workbook.

    Know any method on how to do all this automatically?

    thanks -

      Hi,

      Try to do it manually, but before that activate Record Macro, from Tools/Macros in Excel...

      Then see the Vb code that is generated! Remember you can modify it!

      Have a nice day!

      :)
