Ben-- 

Actually, I would just use Access scripting to do it. Two reasons (which may or may not apply to you): 

1. When you start using the VB "data connectivity" features, you end up relying on a bunch of DLLs (OCXs, etc.) that you have to send with your script wherever it goes. 

2. It makes it harder to spin off a VBScript version of the script. 

The only trouble is--I don't have a copy of Access around to experiment on. I know it's VB/VBA/VBScript scriptable, though, so you should be able to have a script that gets the data directly from Access and puts it into InDesign without having to go through ODBC/DAO/ADO/etc. 

Thanks, 

Ole
