Topic:
Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software;;Microsoft Access Database
I have a spreadsheet with a table that's linked to an Access database
. The spreadsheet is part of an application, and is distributed to several people. Now, generally, refreshing the table works perfectly. On one person's computer, however, when the table is refreshed, some of the columns change their order so that it is different than what is specified in the query. This screws up lookups that depend on this table.
Out of more than 10 users, only one has this problem. We recently uninstalled, then reinstalled MS Office completely for her. Anybody have ideas?

As an act of desperation, noting that it only happened with a single user, we created a new AD account for her, and it worked fine. The original account had all the same correct permissions, and we have no idea what the problem was. However, it's solved now. Thanks for the help everyone.

Try to look for in google for Digital Certificate for Macro or Aplication or http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa141471(v=office.10).aspx
It might be Security issue on the your Excel application or sheet, so other users might
not get the most of your update .
Hope it help

Nobody really has any ideas about Excel's behavior here?

Nothing is changing in MS Access - it's existence is irrelevant to the issue at hand. What is changing is the order of the columns in the Excel data table. If I refresh the data table on my PC (or any of the others) there is no problem. The columns are ordered as in the query. If I refresh it on her PC, the column order changes.

<As I ststed, the user has nothing to do with it...>
Well, you actually stated this:
<but you can never underestimate users, can you?>
So it was not inherently clear to me if this meant it was, or was not a user issue, or if you were not sure.

That's why I asked...
If the user can change the Column Order, then there really is no solution other option than to not allow them Access to the columns directly.
Again, if it is just this one user and everything else about their setup is the same as the other users, then it would point to the user...
The issue is where are the columns being changed?
In Access or in Excel?

mann: I know I can do that, but I need to figure out the problem, in case there's something else affected I've not seen yet.

Not sure either...
Are you quite sure that the user is not changing the column order?
;-)

Hi Andrew,
I don't have any clue what the reason might be for the column mixing behaviour, but perhaps I can offer you a workaround. Do not use VLOOKUP, use INDEX based on the column labels. Check if this example works for you.
