Unable to Import an external excel spreadsheet into Access 2003

1 New Member
Hi

I'm pretty new to MS Access so please be patient....
I have a user that is trying to import an external excel spreadsheet into MS access 2003 by using the File - Get external data - Import.
She is also running Access 97 and it works fine into that.

The error she gets is:
You have encountered an error and MS office access needs to close.We are sorry for any inconvenience.T he information you were working on might be lost. MS access can try to compact and repair your open database.....

The user was able to import this excel spreadsheet previously into MS access 2003 but its recently stopped working.

I've tried reinstalling MS access 2003 but this has had no effect.

Any idea's?

Has the database been converted to Access 2003?
If so did you try to compile the database from the VBA editor window?
Have you tried open the Excel file to see if it is opening OK?

For example, i have a field called and the format is 16107 for example, when the VBA function is running I want it to add "EA" to the record so it becomes EA16107 but the field I want it to import into is called another field in the same dataset I want to import is , this

I have a spreadsheet with about 35 tabs that I need to import into one table in Access. I found this link http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread650662-import+multiple+tabs.html and changed some things within the code. First off - I've written a piece of code that changes the name of each sheet (Sheet1, Sheet2, etc), deletes the blank rows and formats a couple of the columns to text and date format. It then saves and quits the application...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
