    Angry Excel stops refreshing data from Access database after Excel is restarted

    Hi

    I have an Access database with a few tables in it.
    I also have a very basic Excel file which has data imported from the Access file into a pivot table.
    When I first set up the pivot table in excel the connection to Access pulls the data through fine. If I edit data in Access and refresh data in Excel the pivot table updates with no problems.
    The problem starts when I close the Excel file and re-open it. Refreshing data fails with no error message and I'm unable to pull through updated data. I have to create a new file, a new Access connection and new pivot table to make it work again, but as soon as I re-open the file it fails again.

    Does anyone have any idea why this is happening.

    Thanks

    It turns out this issue was specific to my user profile on the PC I was using, the issue wasn't there on another user on the same PC. I had to create a new user profile and transfer over to it to remove the problem. All is well now.
