How to connect multiple Excel VBA files to Access Database via Command Button ?

    Hello there !!!


    I am new to the forum and had a question regarding the connection between Acces and Excel. I have been using Excel for a while to do simple macros, but have not worked ever with Access. My excel is getting slow and I read that Access could be the way to go. I have tried to connect my Excel to Access directly, but it does not allow for the document to be xlsm format.


    Is this just me or is there a way to automatically connect Excel macros to Access. Please help !!!

    My problem per se is more that I have 3 files which are exactly alike the only difference is the data in them, but they have the same columns and everything. I need to combine to generate a report on a weekly basis. Though Access was the way but maybe Power Query is the way to go. I have to double check if my clients software has Power Query because if not it will not work on their end.


    Thanks for all your help !

    Glad to hear this could help :)
