Hi All. 
Lively discussions this week. 

I get data via MS Terminal Services in Excel. The workbook consists of several 
worksheets that are linked to data via MS Query.  I download this file to my 
local computer and would like a way to link Access tables to this data so each 
time I download (i.e. refresh the data), the "new" data will be available in 
Access.

I've tried doing this and there is a problem.  The Excel worksheets almost 
always have columns and rows with nothing in them.  For example, a worksheet 
that should have 408 rows of data may have 5,000 rows, most of them empty.  Or 
there may be 10 columns containing data and another 10 with no data.

How can I either download only rows and columns containing data in Excel, or 
have Access recognize only those rows and columns containing data?

BTW, in Excel I can Shift+End to the right then down which highlights only rows 
and columns containing data. 

Any advice appreciated.  /g
