I'm trying to import an Excel spreadsheet and append a current table within the Database.
I have have all the Access column names within the spreadsheet.
Access wants to import a blank column and names it 'Field6'.
I've tried to keep it from importing, but for some reason it wants to import that blank columns.
Any suggestions?

Looks to me there's something (doesn't have to be visible) in that row.
You can suppress the field using the wizard and store the "script" to reuse the next time. Storing can be done pressing the [Advanced] button bottom left.
Nic;o)
Excel cells hold the value Null as default. If you type something into a excel cell and then delete one might think it would return to null, but instead its now a 0-length string. (At least thats the conclusion I have arrived at)
If its a one time thing, just import the sheet to another table, then run an append query afterwards.
I had a situation where I would often import the same columns from excel sheets, but the user had a nasty habit of using the "extra/blank" columns for his own notes and such. I created some code to (invisible to user) copy the excel sheet to a new file, open it, delete Columns E-ZZ, import it, then delete the copy.
You could try a similar approach, if its something you need to do often.

I have the following SQL code in my databse as a querry.
SELECT Sheet1.ID, Sheet1.Field6, Sheet2.ID, Sheet2.Field6
FROM Sheet1 INNER JOIN Sheet2 ON Sheet1.ID = Sheet2.ID

Which does what I want. But I would prefer rather then hard code the

Hello All,
Excellent info here Thanks!
I am very new to using access in general and I am on a learning curve.
I'm trying to import an excel workbook (with worksheets) into an access db
via a macro. (I'll get to using VB later on).
What I would like to do is import a single workbook w/three seperate
worksheets into three seperate access tables AND truncate the time stamp
that is used in the excell sheet via a macro.

I guess I missed the boat on the logic for this one. Immediately upon
hitting "Import" in an
attempt to import an Excel file containing 7 columns of 'txt' formatted data
into AXP, I got a "Type mismatch" error. A search of previous posts
indicated that Access did not 'like' most data types being imported except
for 'txt' files, so I saved the 'xls' as 'txt' and that didn't work either,
receiving the same "mismatch" error message. ...

Also, when I do import one-to-one, Access inserts thousands of blank lines before the first line of imported data. How do I keep Access from doing...

I'm banging my head on this one, here's why:
I've been importing files using this process and data format, with success!
I created a temporary table in Access to facilitate my import process (It's all text columns, I perform transformations later).
And I created a template in Excel to correspond to the table - essentially it's just column headers:
