Reading data from Excel & inserting records directly into Access?

Hi,

I'm helping a friend build an access database and have a problem.
I currently have a list of hyperlinks contained within an excel file. At the moment, I have to insert each hyperlink one by one via a RunSQL statement using a macro. This method works but will be rather troublesome for my friend to update the list of links later on (as he does not know much about Access).
I wish to be able to create a button in the form that can automatically read each hyperlink (each cell) from the excel file, and insert them into a sub form table within access.
So that later on when my friend wants to add new hyperlinks, he can simply add them via Excel/Word (the hyperlinks can either be stored in Excel or Word)

Does anyone know how to do this? I am only familar with the Access interface design and macros, but not very familar with VB.

Your help will be most appreciated,

Raymond
 
Wouldn't it be satisfactory just to import the excel data into your table using the import facility rather than writing your own interface?
