VBA & EXCEL & DATABASE

VBA & EXCEL & DATABASE

VBA & EXCEL & DATABASE

(OP)
I wrote a simple DLL with a function that I use in Excel for retrieving data from an Access Database.

The problem is that when the data changes in the Database, it is not reflected in the Excel spreadsheet.  Re-Calculating does not work (F9).  I either have to re-enter the variable in the function or re-enter the entire function in order to get it to reflect the updated values in the database.  Even if I close and re-open the worksheet it still displays the old data.

I need it to respond the the Auto Calculate or atleast refresh on Mannual Re-Calculate.  

Any Ideas.

Thanks.
