Importing excel spreadsheets without defining table

24 New Member
Hi All,

This seems like a simple thing, but I can’t seem to figure it out. I am familiar with transferring excel spreadsheets into access using the TransferSpreash eet function Ex:(DoCmd.Trans ferSpreadsheet acImport, 8, "LogTemplat e", "C:\Documen ts and Settings\My Documents\Log template.xls", True, "").

I would like to import several spreadsheets into access without creating the table. I know how to manually import the spreadsheet but how can it be done without assigning a table. I would to import the spreadsheet and then the table created, just like if I was to do it manually. I tried removing the table from the example I have above but I get an error. I know this is probably simple but can’t figure it out. Thanks for any advice.

Please take more care with your question Umoja. You seem to be saying that you want to import data into Access but not store it in a table which doesn't make sense.

What exactly ARE you trying to say?

Hi NeoPa,

Sorry my question wasn't clear. I figured out what I was doing wrong. I needed to take a break to clear my head. Thanks for replying back.

Sometimes that's all it takes. I'm glad you got it sorted anyway.

When importing excel from access I am fully aware that one can import directly into a table. Can you get as specific via code or something to import data from an excel sheet to a FORM (Not Table) through a command button. For example: cell C5 on the selected excel spread sheet = textbox2 in the current form. This is for a service repair type database. The service technicians work out in the field and currently create their service orders...

Hi all, kind of new to Access, but I'm learning as I go. What I'm currently trying to do is take data from an Excel spreadsheet and transfer it into an Access database with mutiple linked tables. The catch is, columns from the one spreadsheet are spread out over all 6 of my linked tables. e.g. 2 columns go to 2 fields in table A, another column goes to a field in table B, 2 more go to 2 fields in table C...etc. I can import the whole...

I want to be able to import an Excel spreadsheet into Access 2K using the macro command Transferspreadsheet. However, the file I am importing (over which I have no control) contains some records that are "dirty" i.e. the field contents do not comply with the expected format (date/time) and they end up in a seperate table of import errors. (The records in "error" are actually empty fields.) This is a regular event and I do not want to...

Hi, I am having trouble importing a spreadsheet from Excel into an Access Database. I have noticed that even specifying the Cell Type of the Excel Data Cell, When I import it, still get Import Errors. Like Type Mismatch. The funny thing is that its all done automatically via the Wizard, so I dont even specify what the field type should be in my database, but it

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me with an issue I am having with excel and ms access. I have collected data (which are in individual excel files) from 49 different school districts. All districts have used the same excel template and populated the same 32 data fields (columns). I created one large excel file from all 49 files which gives me a master table of 60,000 or so records. I have tried to import this master table into access...

I have the project that may never end in front of me. I am creating a routine that will take SpreadSheets from Excel and bring them into Access. I am not using any "DoCmd"s because the goal is for the import code to be moved to a stand alone VB app which will use the Access DB as a workspace to process the data from the spreadsheets. Quite honestly, done right this may not even require Access or Excel to be on the users machine. ...

Hi, I'm trying to import specific cells from MS Excel 2000 spreadsheets to MS Access 2000 tables then move the spreadsheets to a different directory. I'm very new to this and I'm having trouble to implement this. I have worked out so far the code to import certain cells into 1 table, but I do not know how to import some other cells into another tables so the data would be connected and remain together. So lets say that I have 2 tables...

I have a dynamic range that I would like to use as a linked table into Access. The problem is that Access doesn't seem to want to to recognize the dynamic range when you click on "show named ranges" in the Link Spreadsheet wizard. The reason I want to use a dynamic range is because when the data in my excel spreadsheet changes the linked table will import blank rows that were previously used from the bottom of the spreadsheet. I can't...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
