I have a query in Access that is linked to Excel. The query produces more records each month. However the Excel linked data only shows the number of records which i could originally see when I did the paste special and "link".

A better method of bringing data from Access into Excel would be to use
Data / Import External Data / New Database Query.

Alternatively you could clear the current table and repeat the process
you used previously to get the linked data.

Thankyou for that. New database Query works fine and I can use the Access written Queries as the input to MSquery. One question, can I get the MSqueries to autorun on opening the spreadsheet in Excel without being asked if I wish to do so?

I think you would have to mark the queries as not running on startup
and then have a startup macro that runs them.

Sub Auto_Open()
Dim WS As Worksheet
Dim QT As QueryTable
For Each WS In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
For Each QT In WS.QueryTables
QT.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
Next
Next
End Sub
