Excell spread sheet into AutoCad

Hi Guys

Can somebody tell me the correct way to put an Excel spread sheet into Autocad?

I did do this along time back but have lost all my notes, and now just can't remember how.

I basically want, on my drawings a legend of components, I have made the spread sheet in Excel and when I fill in the spread sheet in Excell I want it to duplicate in AutoCad with both programs running.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks Guys

You can embed it as an OLE object (the "old" way) or starting with AC 2008, I believe it was, you could create a Dynamic Link which starts with using the Table command. I've done it this way and have had good results. The spreadsheet can be updated in either Excel or AutoCAD and any changes that are made will be reflected in the other file when the link is updated.

Thanks Remark

I went with The table command seems better than the spanish way 'OLE'
