I have been reading the posts regarding converting/linking access to excel,
and it all seems so simple. However, I am completely lost!

I have a query in access that I need to export or just email in .xls format
to end users. (The query is based upon 2 tables.)They in turn should fill
in the data requested (2-3 columns) and email back to me.

1. How do I get the info from Outlook to excel?
a. Do I just "save as" in a file folder in excel?
2. Once I have the info emailed back to me, how do I update the access
query.?

I am using Access 2003 and Excel 2002.

Thank you

I have searched through access help and excel help, and for some reason, I
cannot seem to understand that to do. This is my first attempt (actually
the same attempt numerous numerous times) to no avail.
