Import records from Excel to Access

55 New Member
Hi,

Could anyone please assist me on how to import Excel records to Access.

the records in excel are not in the same order as that of the one in Access. there are about 1000 records needs to be imported from Excel.

the access database has Table Client, Table Job (which has additional fields than the one in Excel). i need to match the corresponding fields in Excel into Access.

i would appreciate any help in regards to this.

thanks n regards,
Kathy

I have seven huge fixed width text file that I need to import to Access. They contain headers, subtotals, etc. that are not needed. There is also some corrupt data that we know about and can correct once the data is in Access (or during the import process itself). Furthermore, the text files are poorly set up, such that some records may be "shifted" over a few characters, and therefore the fixed width nature of the file is corrupted. ...

I have an Excel spreadsheet with 1000+ rows that I need to import into an Access 2002 db once a month or so. I then need to use that information to update any existing records(multiple fields may need updating) and/or add any new records. I figure one way is to just "brute force" it, i.e., import the spreadsheet then run some code to do a sequential read thru the new table and do lookups in the existing table and update whatever fields...

Convert them to CSV in Excel, then use TransferText (which does not work correctly and also doesn't accept XLS/Excel files directly) or create a link to an Excel XLS workbook and do an Append Query (as some have suggested here)?? I find that hard to believe as Access is part of MS Office and Visual FoxPro is not. I split my time using both and I can do a simple copy command to XLS in VFP or an Append command to DBF or use Office...
