SharePoint releases later than 2003, namely 2007 and 2010' don't let Excel update OOTB a SharePoint list it is connected to. For 2007 there may have been suggestions of how to recover this functionality. I didn't research for such solutions regarding 2010 release. I came lately across a product that was developed just for that purpose. You can view its specs in the following links in case you need such functionality:

The following article explains the issue in details:
