You have probably hit the Excel Access Link Patent infringement patch It was installed with a patch to Office XP or Office 2003 SP2, last may?? I don't know if you can back out of this patch. See explanation : http://winks.office-watch.com/9/templates/feat.aspx?articleid=7&zoneid=2 perhaps a workaround here to copy data back and forth via ADO what you cannot do now is see instant changes in the xls and mdb file simultaneously via links. http://office-watch.com/kb/?904953 Lembit Soobik wrote: >I have an Excel worksheet (Excel 2002 SP3) with some named spaces. >In Access (A2000) I have these named spaces as linked tables. >I can read these tables (VB) as DAO.recordset just like any other table, >However I cannot write to these tables. >vb tells me its write protected. >the xls file is NOT write protected. >I have unprotected the worksheet. > >what else can be wrong? > >thanks >Lembit > > -- Marty Connelly Victoria, B.C.
