I have a table in Access which needs updating from an Excel
file. Instead of importing the whole Excel like a new table in
Acess, how do I do a partial import/update??

For example, Access table has 100 rows of records and 10
columns of attributes. The Excel table has only 50 rows of
records and and 2 attributes. The key IDs for the 50 rows and
names for the 2 attributes are already defined in the Access
table.

Thanks in advance!!

You want to link to the Excel file instead of importing it, then
create a query to update the data in Access where the IDs match and
the attributes do not.
