I have a linked excel database which I can no longer update in access you
kindly advised me that this is due to an office update recently downloaded,
is there a way to uninstall this download and where would I find it? Causing
major problems at work if not possible to uninstall will I have to import the
database from excel and work purely in access? Could not find my original
post in general questions to follow threads added. using office 2003 on
windows xp professional other office pcs using office xp

You cannot change, add, or delete data in tables that are linked to an Excel
workbook in Office Access 2003 or in Access 2002

Note that Microsoft made this change "...due to legal reasons". One can only
hope that it is temporary.
