Access 2003
Hi -
MS Access is a database management program - it does not do spreadsheets, where values in cells are dependant on values in other cells - that is what Excel is for. MS Access can display data that may LOOK like a spreadsheet, but it isn't. Can you tell us in more detail what you want to do? It might be that MS Access is not the tool for the job.

You can import the *data* in the Excel spreadsheet into an Access table... but be aware that Access is emphatically NOT "Excel on steroids". It's an altogether different program, with different conventions, different forms, different programing and different assumptions. In other words you can import the data, but your Excel form, all your calculations, and any printout reports will need to be rethought and redone.
