Loading an Excel worksheet...

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if anyone knows of a module / add-in that handles ETL
for an Excel spreadsheet into Access. There is one specific
requirement, that values in the source Excel file are 'mapped' to
values in the database. There is a table structure that defines the
values available in the target table, so the 'mappings' need to come
from multiple source tables.

Just a shot in the dark, but it cant hurt to ask.....

Cheers

Hi Tom,

ETL is Extraction, Transformation and Loading. It is a term used
usually for database tools and processes. As an example SQL Server
2000's DTS is an ETL type tool.

The closest you can get to that is Access' import wizard. Import
specifications can be setup and saved for a later day. It's a far cry
from DTS, but so is the price of Access versus SQL Server...
Heck if you REALLY wanted to, Access can be setup as a linked server
for SQL Server; then you CAN use DTS to do your ETL work.

There may be some generic ODBC-based packages to suit your needs.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for having a crack at it. Unfortunately the use of SQL server
or a third party tool is out of the question. Totally sux or I would
have done it all in SQL Server. I guess I will just have to write the
VBA and make the forms to do the processing. Bugger of a thing really.
If I can make it flexible enough then I might post it here, I'll see
how it works out. I may have to make it specific to this application
for the sake of time and come back to the 'general case' at a later
stage.

Thanks for your help Tom, it is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi All, I posted this message few days ago. No one has answered so far. I just would like to know if it is possible to do or not. Even if you can not tell me how to do this, maybe you know which library I need to use in order to access excel information from a VB.NET code. For example, I would be interested by knowing how to access a simple cell value in an excel file from a vb.net code. Here is the mail I sent last week, but as I...
