Import, export, and link data between Access and Excel
You can share data between Access and Excel in many ways. You can copy data from an open worksheet (worksheet: The primary document that you use in Excel to store and work with data. Also called a spreadsheet. A worksheet consists of cells that are organized into columns and rows; a worksheet is always stored in a workbook.) and paste it into an Access datasheet, import a worksheet into an Access database, or simply load an Access datasheet into Excel using the Analyze it with Excel command.

Regarding queries in ms access, while converting to mysql
Currently I am working on a project to convert ms access back end to mysql back end. Front end is still going to be ms access. The backend which is currently held in ms access is a different file, meaning front and back ends aren't in one mdb. Now i heard alot of suggestions about converting access tables to mysql tables, but not much discussions are held about queries. My questions are: (1) I have around 30-40 queries , querying forms, subforms & reports. Should i convert them to mysql queries or should i just leave it the way it is. (2) Will converting queries to mysql queries increase/decrease the speed. (3) How efficient are ms access queries. i find them extremely friendly to work around and i can create any query using its design view or with sql very fast. (4) also off the topic are there any tools that can be used to show the time taken by each forms or queries to run and load in ms access...

Optimizing the MS Access front end
I need some advice about running MS Access as a Front end to a MySQL back end. Currently, my queries aren't running much faster than prior to when I built the MySQL back end and imported all the tables. From what I understand, this is because Access is trying to 'load' all the data prior to choosing just the selection requested. Is there a way to 'trick' Access into querying MySQL (or any ODBC data source, for that matter) for just the information requested. I am not really a back end guy, so I am hoping that this post isn't unintelligible. Suffice it to say, if anyone has any suggestions on how I can speed up the query process, it would be hugely appreciated.
