pivot tables using two mdb data sources

I want to display pivot tables using some information from one mdb dabase,
and some info from another mdb database; but they are linked by a common
factor (number) and if you look at the information in access, you canb see
how they tie into one another. it is a one to many relationship in the access
database.

is there any way i can use as decribed above?

thanks

Jack

You've obviously created a query in one of the Access databases that shows
you the detail information that you want to use in the Excel Pivot Table.

You can create an Excel Pivot Table using the 'External Source' option and
point the source at the query in the Access databases that shows you the
detail information that you want to use in the Excel Pivot Table.

or

Create a crosstab query in Access using the query in the Access database. A
crosstab in Access is the same as a Pivot Table in Excel. Then, if desired,
you can create a straight query of the crosstab query into Excel.
