Hi =?Utf-8?B?bnljZG9u?=,

Yes, you can. It involves using either DAO or ADO to link to the data table.
It's possible to write the information directly into the recordset, or to use a
query. Here's an article that discusses some of the basics of ADO in connection
to Access and Office

The best place to pursue this is probably an ACCESS newsgroup, as those people
will have the most experience with what you want. You should tell them
- the version of Office involved
- more details about your requirement, such as the frequency with which the
update should occur. The location of the database (on your local machine, on a
network, other). How many people could be using the solution. Anything else
that might be relevant.
