Importing into Access table form Excel

1 New Member
HI Folks,
I need some help
I'm trying to develop a automated way to import from a excel spsh excluding the 1st 2 rows & two out of 41 columns.
I got the 1st part with range see below

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "[mytable]", filePath, , "A3:AO3000", True or False ?
I know I can edit the spdsh before this runs but I'm trying to avoid that & also not bother the "client"
I know the colums to skip #8 & # 31 as well.

Thanks in advance
Chris

You may be more successful by:
  1. Importing the entire Worksheet.
  2. Run a DELETE Query that DELETES the 1st 2 Rows.
  3. DELETE your 2 Columns (Fields) by using the DELETE Method of the TableDef Object as in:
    Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
    1. CurrentDb.TableDefs("<your Table>").Fields.Delete "<your Field>"
