Running a query against a password protected spreadsheet
I used to be able to run an access query against a linked excel spreadsheet
and update information in the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is now password protected, and although I can run the query against it OK, I can no longer update data in it. Does anyone have any solution to this. Regards Steve |

Running a query against a password protected spreadsheet
What version of Access and how long ago were you able to do this? The reason
that I ask is that Microsoft lost a patent lawsuit a few years ago on updating linked Excel worksheets from Access. I believe that they blocked this ability from Access 2002 and newer. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/904953 -- Jerry Whittle, Microsoft Access MVP Light. Strong. Cheap. Pick two.

Access 2003.
I can still update Excel spreadsheets from an access query if they are not password protected. Regards Steve Jerry Whittle wrote: What version of Access and how long ago were you able to do this?
