TransferSpreadsheet Method


The TransferSpreadsheet method carries out the TransferSpreadsheet action in Visual Basic. For more information on how the action and its arguments work, see the action topic.

Syntax

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet [transfertype][, spreadsheettype], tablename, filename[, hasfieldnames][, range]

The TransferSpreadsheet method has the following arguments.

Argument Description
transfertype One of the following intrinsic constants:
acImport (default)
acExport
acLink
If you leave this argument blank, the default constant (acImport) is assumed.
spreadsheettype One of the following intrinsic constants, or equivalent numeric settings:
0 acSpreadsheetTypeExcel3 (default)
6 acSpreadsheetTypeExcel4
5 acSpreadsheetTypeExcel5
5 acSpreadsheetTypeExcel7
8 acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8
8 acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9
2 acSpreadsheetTypeLotusWK1
3 acSpreadsheetTypeLotusWK3
7 acSpreadsheetTypeLotusWK4
4 acSpreadsheetTypeLotusWJ2 — Japanese version only
Note You can link to data in a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet file, but this data is read-only in Microsoft Access. You can import from and link (read-only) to Lotus .WK4 files, but you can't export Microsoft Access data to this spreadsheet format. Microsoft Access also no longer supports importing, exporting, or linking data from Lotus .WKS or Microsoft Excel version 2.0 spreadsheets by using this method.
If you leave this argument blank, the default constant (acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8) is assumed.
tablename A string expression that's the name of the Microsoft Access table you want to import spreadsheet data into, export spreadsheet data from, or link spreadsheet data to, or the Microsoft Access select query whose results you want to export to a spreadsheet.
filename A string expression that's the file name and path of the spreadsheet you want to import from, export to, or link to.
hasfieldnames Use True (–1) to use the first row of the spreadsheet as field names when importing or linking. Use False (0) to treat the first row of the spreadsheet as normal data. If you leave this argument blank, the default (False) is assumed.
When you export Microsoft Access table or select query data to a spreadsheet, the field names are inserted into the first row of the spreadsheet no matter what you enter for this argument.
range A string expression that's a valid range of cells or the name of a range in the spreadsheet. This argument applies only to importing. Leave this argument blank to import the entire spreadsheet.
When you export to a spreadsheet, you must leave this argument blank. If you enter a range, the export will fail.
