ADT-link blocks to external database for scheduling

    We use ADT-2005. I have created a property set definition for blocks.
    Using this, I can manually enter the values for the defined properties
    and then schedule those blocks.

    Instead of entering the values manually,I want to be able to pull the
    values for these properties from an external database (in MS-Access)
    and then display them in a schedule table.I know I can link blocks to
    records of a database connected to ADT by dbconnect. But, it seems like
    the linked information is only available for viewing through the link
    manager. Is there a way to bring them into a schedule table?


    Any help, any ideas, would be appreciated. I am conversant with VBA,
    but haven't used it with ADT objects so far. If anybody knows how this
    can be achieved with VBA, I could give that a try too.
