Importing data from access to excel.

I

Whenever I import access data into excel, cell addresses I want to use in any
formulas have odd names. Instead of d3, etc, if the access document was
called 'work file', the cell would be 'Work_file' and have something saying
line 142.
Is this normal and can this behavior be changed?

well you 'export' out of access to excel

and 'import' excel into access

the best literal export to excel is from a query (or a table). if you are
exporting from a report - then the way excel interprets it isn't always
clear. with Access2007 one can not export a report to excel...

not sure this helps but just thought I would throw this in.....

Yes, i'm exporting a table,but the cells in excel take on strange names so I
can't tell them apart. Like I said, the cell takes the name of the database
table it came from, which is confusing especially when they are involved in
formulas.
