Connect Access to Salesforce

Last modified: July 25, 2025

There are two methods for accessing Salesforce data from Microsoft Access:

Importing data: Transfers Salesforce records into Access tables for offline analysis or integration with other datasets. For more information, see Import Salesforce data into Access through ODBC.
Linking Tables: Ensures reliable access to Salesforce datasets by creating linked tables, which allows for real-time interaction with live data. For more information, see Create a linked table to Salesforce data in Access.

Each method offers distinct benefits, letting you work with Salesforce data in the way that best fits your workflow and requirements.
