<div>
Thanks but I do want to display the data in the Access form, rather than force the user to go some place else. Is there a better approach than using embedded Excel?
</div>


<div>
If it's just for display purposes (i.e. sort of like a Dashboard), then create a table with columns named like your Row1 cells in the Excel sheet, and then use VBA to fill that sheet. <br />
<br />
However, you could use the embedded method suggested by Crystal, and use VBA to fill that embedded worksheet. Often that's a better choice than trying to force Access to act like a spreadsheet.

<div>
Note that control is not certified to be compatible with Access (like nearly all ActiveX controls). It's also part of the OfficeWebComponents, which is no longer available. If you're going to deploy this to other users, you'll have some trouble with that one.

<div>
ActiveX spreadsheet control was what I was looking for

I'd like to create a display embedded in an Access form like the attached Excel. The current path I'm taking is embedding the Excel spreadsheet for format and then updating it with VBA. Is there another recommended approach?

Thanks!

Schedule Display in MS Access Form

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
