Is it possible, using a formula, to insert a value into a cell that comes from a particular field on a form in an access database? I realise that the database must be open for this to work.

Thanks,

Neil.

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Because I need to take the data of the open record, i.e. the one that is currently being viewed.

I guess an easier way would be to export the data from the form to the spreadsheet using a macro or expression from within Access. Is this possible?
