Can u show me a macro or automated way to implement it?
Some Notes:

1. Access has much more powerful Reporting facilities than Excel does.
What type of Report are you creating in Excel, that can't be recreated in Access directly?

2. Just be aware that currently you cannot update the Access data via the Excel "Front End"
