| Thanks visakh16...but in all these cases it seems we need to manually import data into sql server table. I was looking for something if user updates value in excel file, it should automatically reflect in sql server table as in the case of access-excel linked tables... |

| for that you need to have a macro inside excel which looks for action (may be when user clicks a button) and then update a table using OPENROWSET------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/ |

| Thanks @visakh16Now I want to import .xlsx(excel 2007) in sql server 2005 using openrowset method? As far as I learned from the above link, it seems in sql server 2005, we can only import .xls.Do you think it's possible? |
