Re: [MS_AccessPros] question of terminology

 

Glenn-

I see no problem with the general statement - except the atrocious English.  Noun-verb disagreement, dangling participle, etc.

There are a wide range of possible data connections, including, but not limited to other Excel workbooks, Access Databases and Data Connection (.odc) files. You may need to contact your IT services or Database Administrator for assistance in setting up a data connection source that you can connect to use. (or to which you can connect.)

Apologies for raising an question that is specifically related to Excel at the moment but in the grand scheme of things I think it could equally relate to Access. Although I have been working in depth in Access for the past 15+ years, my experience with the workings of large organizations is incredibly lacking. Hence my question. Is the following statement accurate or are there better ways I could phrase it:

To give you a little context, I am preparing for a workshop where data connections will be touched on and I want to be prepared for the anticipated question, "What if I can't find my connection in the browsing dialogues?" 

 

Thanks,
