You can compare data from two different sources in one query. You can either use the IN keyword in SQL or, more simply, link to the Excel table (sheet) in Access and build your query around that.

EDIT an example using IN

SELECT * FROM  CompareTable 
LEFT JOIN
   (SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]  
    IN ''[Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=2;DATABASE=C:\Full\Path\AndName.xls]) C
ON CompareTable.CourseKey=c.CourseKey
WHERE c.CourseKey Is Null

Sheet1$ can also be Named_Range.
