Access import field mapping

I would like to be able to create an import feature from an Excel
spreadsheet that has a field mapping feature similar to that used in
the import of data into MS Outlook i.e. the ability to select a field
in a list based on column headings in Excel in one list and then select
the required field that it maps to in Access.

Any clues how to get started?

You mean import from specifically named columns in an Excel file into
an Access database?

Yes.

If you have access to a DTS designer:
DTS packages can import from excel file into a database. I believe you
can setup connections with an access database. You could save the DTS
package as VB and see how they do it.

You could also look into the transferspreadsheets method. Maybe import
the entire excel file into a temporary table and then do a query with
the names of the specific fields.
