    1. COWhy do you think it's much better solution? I don't think so because of 2 things: 1st: opening the file takes much more time than simply ADO connection, and 2nd: I will not be able to use SQL queries on that, which is the main reason I'm using ADO (unless I connect with opened file, which is pretty much the same situation)... The only positive I found is that it should (not tested yet) get rid off that "garbage" refences I have now, but for me the open time increasing is not worth it...

    2. COWhy would your store database style information on which you can run SQL; in an Excel file, why not use Access or another purpose built database program? The only reason I prefer this method is because you can step through different fields on the sheets and ultimately capture any possible bad data more easily.

    3. COThat's because I'm working with already existing user's Excel files. It's not time-economic to rebuild every single file they're already using, just to put the same data into Access. And - more important - most of the users don't know Access and VBA, so they prefer working with the tool they know and that they can use to modify or adjust on their own - which is simply Excel file. Of course, where I can and when I design an application from scratch, I prefer using database as well, but in most cases I try to "integrate" different data sources, including .xls files, which cause that problem...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
