Hi Alekhan,

Please visit the following forum thread at vbforums:

http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?p=2223896

There is a discussion on connecting remotely to Microsoft Access using a pertinent connection string, along with some example code in VBA. Perhaps you can adapt the idea to your application:

Option Explicit
Dim adoConn As ADODB.Connection
Dim adoRst As ADODB.Recordset

Private Sub Command1_Click()'============================
Dim strConString As String
Dim strSQL As String
'assign connection string
strConString = "Provider=MS Remote;" & _
                   "Remote Server=http://192.168.1.1;" & _
                  "Remote Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
                   "Data Source=MyRemoteDB;Persist Security Info=False"
        'initialize connection object variable
    Set adoConn = New ADODB.Connection
    'open connection
    adoConn.Open strConString, "admin", ""
        strSQL = "Select * from Orders"
        'initialize recordset object variable
    Set adoRst = New ADODB.Recordset
    With adoRst
        .Open strSQL, adoConn, , , adCmdText
        If Not .EOF Then
            Do While Not .EOF
                'read each record here
                '...
                .MoveNext
            Loop
            .Close
        End If
    End With

        'destroy recordset object if necessary (or do it when you unload the form)
    'Set adoRst = Nothing
        'destroy connection object if necessary (or do it when you unload the form)
    'Set adoConn = Nothing
End Sub

You can import the data into Microsoft Access from Excel. Here is a page that talks about that:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...008521033.aspx

1) Make sure the Microsoft Excel data is in list (list: A series of rows that contains related data or a series of rows that you designate to function as a datasheet by using the Create List command.) format: each column has a label in the first row and contains similar facts, and there are no blank rows or columns within the list.

2) Close the Excel workbook that contains the data you want to use in Microsoft Access.

3) In Access, open the database where you want to copy the Excel data.

4) On the Access File menu, point to Get External Data, and then click Import.

5) In the Import dialog box, click Microsoft Excel in the Files of type box.

6) In the Look in list, locate the file you want to import, and then double-click the file.

7) Follow the directions in the Import Spreadsheet Wizard.
Or you can use ODBC or OleDb connection strings to link to Excel from Microsoft Access and copy the data from the linked table into an Access table. If we're not talking about Access databases, then the ODBC option still applies, i.e., it is possible to import data from MS Excel into MS SQL Server by using ODBC or OleDb connection to Excel:

http://www.connectionstrings.com/?carrier=excel [Excel 2000 - 2003 Connection Strings]
