Installable ISAM error when linking excel table into Access

I'm using Access 2003 and Excel 2003. All I'm trying to do is bring a
sheet from an Excel file (defined by the user) into Access as a table,
I dont care if it's linked or imported. However, I get an error: "Run
time error 3170. Could not find installable ISAM." I am able to import
and link Excel tables using the Access menu. Here is the part of my
code that's causing the error:

Set db = CurrentDb

'Get file name
strImportFile = [Forms]![fm_Import]![txtFile].Value

Set tblImportTable = db.CreateTableD ef("FLOWIMPORT" )
With tblImportTable
..Connect = "Excel 11.0;HDR=YES;IM EX=2;DATABASE=" + strImportFile
..SourceTableNa me = "INFLOW$"
End With
db.TableDefs.Ap pend tblImportTable

Can anyone help?
