Default excel sheet creation??

Frank,
Thanks for replying... we use a report generating tool (access)that
gets talks to the database - but the custom reports don't have all the
information...
I am creating this report for a manager -
Basically - this is what she wants:
employee: the project she is working on hours per month and YTD - all
of these come from that report - but we need a rate we bill to each
client per hour - which is determined by the total fee we invoice to
each client...
So what she would like for me to do if possible is a report/template
where I get a drop down menu for each employee - then it would give me
the projects - the number of hours he/she have worked on monthly and
YTD create a formula that pulls from another sheet the amount
invoiced/billed to client divided by the YTD hours worked on each
project...
Hope that helps...
Again thanks for your time and help...

Hi
I still think you should add thise functionality in your database.
Otherwise you have to store all the information in Excel also.
So you either have to import specific date from your database into
Excel or go the other way around:
- add the information in yourdatabase
- create additional reports in Access

thank you...
one question in regards to setting it up in access...
the report writing tool gets the data from the data base and only when
i run a report the tables are populated otherwise the queries, reports,
tables are empty...

can you point me to point where I can intercept this data??
(tables/reports) set up my own queries and generate my own reports???
again thanks for all your help and time...
