My problem is that I don't know how to connect to an Access databas
from Excel. I'm modifying a macro in which I have to compare som
strings in Excel cells to the data in Access database with a singl
table. It's not a SQL problem. I found some code in the help files, bu
since I'm not a VBA programer I didn't work out anything.

I'd be very thankful for any help.

ps. I'm runing on Office XP

This might be a help for getting data to and from Excel and Access: It
includes examples of using variables in SQL queries.
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/sql.html

Or you can get there from the "Excel with Access Databases" section on page:
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/examples.htm

It demonstrates how to use SQL in Excel's VBA to:

* create a database,
* create a table and add data to it,
* select data from a table,
* delete a table,
* delete a database.

DAO and ADO files available.

You can also download the demonstration file called "excelsql.zip".

The code is open and commented.
