Xref-ing? from an Access Database

[Kremer]

Hey there,

 

We have a rather large list of equipment we specify on our jobs. In the past we've just left the entire list on a few sheets (it takes 3) and simply reference the equipment we need in plan.

 

We're hoping to consolidate these three sheets down to one which contains only the equipment referenced in plan. If we made a "checklist" in Microsoft Access, would there be anyway to link that to AutoCAD and have the checked information show up in premade columns within the CAD file?

Is the equipment list already in an Access database?

 

I'm fairly confident I could do it from an Excel spreadsheet, so someone smarter than me could probably do it using vba in Access.
