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 ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
