I am making an inventory system for a consultant who buys products and sells them at vendor shows. I have a simple table in Access that holds the quantity of each item the consultant has. I would like to be able to use Excel as a front-end interface for manipulating this data (through userforms). How might I be able to accomplish this? Keep in mind I'm fairly new to Access.

Since this covers 2 topics I am cross-posting in the Access forum:

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
