One central access database to retrieve queries from other database and export to excel

I look after around 50 databases on a network and I am wondering if it is possible to have one central database where I can go into and select any query from any of the databases (held in a table within that database, along with full paths) and export that query to an Excel document and save it for example in the C:/ drive with the file name of the query.

So ideally there would be a form with two drop down boxes, one with the database name and the other with the queries from that selected database and a export button.

Is this something which can be done?

Thanks

50 does sound like a lot, but you could start a new "MDBMaster" and then link all tables from all databases to this one MDBMaset.

Then you could create a form and do your two drop down boxes.

But I think your question is more relating to the connecting of all databases right?
