Critical Thinking Questions Case 7-1 Laura, in Personnel, needs to create a new payroll workbook each month. The formatting and formulas are the same in each new workbook; only the payroll data is different. During a conversation at lunch, she asks if you have any suggestions for ways she can save time with this workbook setup task. Laura was so impressed with your helpful suggestion for the payroll workbook that she gives you a call about another issue. She has just been told that some of the branch office payroll data will now be available in an Access database table. She is unfamiliar with Access and asks you if there is an easy way to get the Access table data into the payroll workbook. You tell her that she can _____.
A) import the Access table using an ASCII table modifier downloaded from the IT department's Web site
B) open the Access database and the Excel workbook and then drag the Access table to the desired location on a worksheet in the payroll workbook
C) open the Access database, print the table's datasheet, and then manually enter the data on the printout in a worksheet in the payroll workbook
D) have the branch offices copy the Access table, paste it on the branch office webpage, and then create a Web query to import the data into the payroll workbook

Question

Option B is the correct answer as it allows Laura to directly import the Access table into the Excel workbook by simply dragging the table from Access to Excel. Option A is not a valid solution as the IT department's website is unlikely to offer an ASCII table modifier. Option C requires too much manual effort, and Option D is not a practical solution as it requires the branch offices to have access to the company website and for Laura to create a web query.
