Best Answer

A circular reference error is caused when a formula directly or indirectly refers to the cell that the formula has been typed in. When this happens you will see the cell that the circular reference is in at the bottom of the worksheet. You need to check the formula in that cell and formulas in other cells that it refers to in order to find the problem. Then you can change the formula so that you can still do what you want without the error.

When you data from Access to Excel a copy of the data is created in Excel?

You can copy data from Access and paste it directly into Excel. From a table or query, data can be selected and then copied and pasted into Excel. In that case, data changing in the original Access file will not change data in the Excel file. To do that there must be a link between the data. You can also import data from Access into Excel and from Excel into Access, again maintaining a link to the source if you want.
