I linked tables from an Access database with my Excel file, but I would get a dialog box saying “Please Enter Microsoft Office Access Database Engine OLE DB Initialization Information” when I try to refresh the data. I have made sure that the data sources in Connection Properties are correct. Wha does it mean? Can I somehow prevent this dialog box from coming up? It came up after MS updates...Thanks.

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
