No longer with Access 2002 or Access 2003. Microsoft lost a lawsuit, and
were forced to remove the capability.

That caught me by surprise at a bad time. I was teaching a college course on
Access and was demonstrating to the students how you could update a
spreadsheet from Access. Boy did I look foolish!
