Unable to update field in linked table using a form.

T

Ted

I have a database that is entirely dependant on an Excel
workbook and 14 worksheets through linked tables. The
spreadsheet is used to forecast needed 'employees' on a
given date. It uses the actual data that is entered in
the access form to make this calculation. Example: On
4/19 there were 36 employees on 4/20 it is forecasted that
there is a need of 35 employees. So, cell B2 contains the
value 36, while cell B3 contains a formula. As a person
enters data the formulas should be overwritten for each
day's actual data. My form shows the values and the
worksheet is doing its job. Problem: Access will not
allow the information in "cell B3" to be overwritten -
error message "unable to update field" the help says that
it is 'in use' or 'locked' neither is the case.

Please Help!!
