I'm suffering.

I'm suffering through a PoS CRM named Navision. Perhaps, another person here has had to deal with it and there is a possibility that you could shed some light on making this thing work?

You could secretly call it nAversion...or NoVision... at least then you'll feel slightly better ;-)

1. It's from our friends at Microsoft

2. They renamed it because it was so great!

Lol. Do you rename all Microsoft products like that? Any interesting names for "Microsoft?"

Microsoft (re)name their own products in that fashion.

It really annoys when I have a problem with MS Access and I'm trying to use search engines to find a solution. ("access table access problem" etc ...)

What problem are you having? We use it at work, so I may be able to tap some professionals tomorrow.

I simply need to take data from the Navision Db tables (it's using the native engine) and have it output the data to Excel sheets but the only catch is that they need to be able to update the data from Excel rather than having to go back into Navision.

Ok, clear this up for me...

Once the data is out of the Navision tables and in the Excel spreadsheets, <fill in the blank for me here cuz I'm not understanding what you mean when you say the data needs to update from Excel instead of going back into Navision>.

There are two buttons that they said should be working that aren't. (i dont know about this <span style='color:blue' title='I&#39;m naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> either)

run query and refresh data (thats what i meant)

And these buttons are in the Excel spreadsheet?

They aren't in the spreadsheet they are part of Excel. I suppose that it isn't necessary for them to be able to use these buttons but the less traveling between applications, the better. I am trying to explore my other options because I can not get this access db crap to work in excel, too many crappy drivers!
