Linking Query to Excel make DB Read Only

C

Chuck W

Hi,
Not sure if I should post this in the Access or Excel board. I have an
Access 2003 db with a select query called qryAdmitType. In Excel 2007, I
selected Data => From Access. I then navigated to the Access DB and selected
it. I then choose my query. My query results now appear in Excel which is
what I want. The problem is that this has made my Access DB Read Only as
long as the Excel file is open which I don't want. When I close the Excel
file, the DB is no longer in Read Only mode. Is there a way to have both the
DB and Excel file open without this happening?

Thanks,
