hi,
depends. access 97 don't like excel formulas. higher
versions seem to but still there is the possibility of
import errors.
i've always converted excel formulas to value before
import.
as a linked excel file, access is ok with excel formulas.
The results. Sometimes, Access fails to import cells containing formula
(or maybe it's just complex formulas: I've never managed to find out).
If so, use Edit|Paste Special,Values or some other technique to replace
the formulas with their results.
