Cannot import .xls file (Access 2k)

G
Hi, I'm trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into Access 2000. I
select File>GetExterna l Data>Import, but when I get to the dialog box
that asks me to select the file I want to import from, the pull-down
"files of type" list only lets me choose from Access file types.

It doesn't contain any Excel file types or any other file type at
all. If I type in my excel file manually it says "The ADP file is not
in the correct format for a Microsoft Access Project". Can someone
shed some light on this issue please?

Works for me, I get all kinds of file types. Perhaps you need to run Office
setup to enable this option or try your luck using the Microsoft Knowledge
base.

Using ASP.net 1.1 and Microsoft Access. I received the following error message. Why? I have closed the Access file. I have another very small access file that opens with no trouble with the same code, except a different name for the file. The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Accident.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.

Hello, it's been a while since I posted on these forums. My issue I think isn't as much in my code as it's in the syntax and structure in references other packages. I'll get straight to it then: There's a package called "randomX" which, while I don't know if you care to know, has a program that accesses a site called hotbits to produce true random numbers based on radioactive decay. You can look it up if you're any interested. Anyway,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
