I found the same problem using Excel 97. It went away after I installed the
latest Micro$oft Data Access Components and Office 97 Service Releases 1 and
2a. I just noticed that 2b is out now. I'm not sure exactly what fixed it,
but mine seems to work.

There are additional pre-reqs: Your table must have a unique index (a
primary key will do) and the recordset must be of type Dynaset (the default,
I think). I have not succeeded in updating views, however, even with unique
indices and appropriate rules for insert and update events on those views.

Please let me know if you have success and if this information solved the
problem.
