I design a database. We have over 4000 items with price and other info. I have it in 2 files. One with the data the other with the reports. I set up a new database now for importing into Excel. I made all the queries in the new database to use for excel. Next I formatted each page to import the data from the db to excel then link other cells with the formatting I need for power point. ( I even change the stander colors) Next, I cut and then link to Power Point. Now my Question is: Do I need to save the query in Excel to have it up date the next time?
