I have written an Excel VBA application which stores the data for a large number of stocks, using a separate .xls file for each stock. I don't know Access well and am wondering if there would be a large performance improvement in storing all that stock data in Access instead of Excel.
Specifically, if I have a worksheet in Excel which repeatedly reads information from 1000 separate, closed .xls file, would I see a big performance improvement if I stored all that information in Access? I am identifying the cells of interest in the Excel files using the MATCH function. I presume I'd identify the records in Access using some kind of query.
THANKS FOR ANYBODY"S HELP.
