Thanks for taking the time to fill in some of the details! This is the most detailed explanation I found regarding the VBA method: http://www.toadworld.com/platforms/sql-server/w/wiki/10392.editing-an-sql-server-table-in-excel http://www.toadworld.com/platforms/sql-server/w/wiki/10392.e... And the company you linked originally gives away a generic VSTO add-in: https://www.ablebits.com/excel-addins.php#sql-server https://www.ablebits.com/excel-addins.php#sql-server The part I was missing was when you said 'audit tables [and] audit trails' (etc.)... it sounds like this would all be build-it-yourself.
