calling an excel macro from an access database that refers to that database

hi

i have a macro in excel that inserts some values into a table in a database in access, but i want to make it so i dont have to touch the excel file, instead i have a module in the access file that calls the sub in the excel file, but then i get an error saying that the database is already open....is there a way of getting around this?

thanks
