EXPORTING Excel that is Reimportable

121 New Member
I have a db that exports a file as an Excel. I want users to be able to make changes to that excel and then re-import it.

I am running into a problem, I want users to see the Logical Names (Captions) so that they can see names they will recognize. But when I try to import the sheet without headings, I get an Field 'F1' doesn't exist error. My research points ot the problem being that there are no headings...

So i wondered if there is a way to export the captions and the field names.
Or is there some other option I haven;t thought of?

Thanks

What are you using to import/export excel file

If in code, are you using DoCmd.TransferS preadsheet?

if u use that then u can specify whether excel file has headings or not. That should get round your problem

Yes, I am using DoCmd.TransferS preadsheet. But I get an error. It gives me an error like....No fieldname for F1 found....

That's the problem I'm having...
Any ideas around this or how to fix it?

To be specific i get a "Field F1 Doesn't exist in destination table"

This is the code I'm using:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.        DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, 5, "DLU-Import", filename, False, "A2:CQ3000"

I think you'll have to either just export using the field names and import with the field names or you can import into a placeholder table and use a query to rename the fields before appending them to the main table.

The short of it: If you needed to import a CSV file of a certain structure on a regular basis(say 32 csv files, each to one a table in 32 databases), what would be your first instinct on how to set this up so as to do it reliably and minimize overhead? There are currently no constraints on the destination table. Assume the user or some configuration specifies the database name, server name, and filename+fullpath. The server is SQL...
