There are a number of solutions available which a simple Google search would reveal. Here is one: http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.asp?ID=6893

Answer 2

Does a standard library exist in VBA to used sqlite database?

No. Access and VBA do not have any native capability to connect to SQLite data sources.

You would have to install additional software to allow Access to use SQLite.

Answer 3

If you can use the sqlite3.exe command line tool, then have VBA spawn that and dump the data to a csv file. Then Access can read both local data and the CSV file and copy appropriately.
