Getting Access/database data in a PowerPoint table?

[cdbiggs]

I've got a report that I generate every day here at work, that represents the
current health status of certain systems that we are responsible for. The
data that this report comes from is in a Access 2000 database, which is
updated twice daily. the report that we turn in is in Powerpoint format
(again Powerpoint 2000). What I would like to know is, is there a way that
whenever the Powerpoint presentation is opened, it draws from the Access
database where the information is located, and placed in a table on a slide?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Powerpoint in itself doesn't have any capabilities for accessing data from
external sources such as Access databases. However, you can insert a
Microsoft Excel 2000 worksheet or chart onto your powerpoint presentation
that gets the data from your Microsof Access database.

Thanks, Chester....

This doesn't help me that much. I always thought that all the Microsoft
Office products were co-related, in that they could all work with each others
data. I guess there might be some other way I could do this, perhaps through
vba or something.

Thanks again!!

Steve,

Thanks, this will work perfectly for me. All I have to do is make a few
modifications and everything will be working.
