importing excel cells to access tables

[thadson]

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 named tblXls and tblXls2 in and Access 2000 Database and I want to import cells F2, C2 and J2 from excel spreadsheets into the fields Test, Test2 and Test3 in the table tblXls, and then I want to import cell F3, C3 and J3 into the fields Name, Phone, and Address in the tblXls2 table. How do I do this?

Here is the code I have so far for the 1 table:

Private Sub xlsAdd_Click()
 
Dim rec As DAO.Recordset
Dim xls As Object
Dim xlsSht As Object
Dim xlsSht2 As Object
Dim xlsWrkBk As Object
Dim xlsPath As String
Dim xlsPath2 As String
Dim xlsFile As String
Dim fullXlsFile As String
Dim fullFile As String
Dim fullFile2 As String
 
Dim Msg, Style, title, Response
  Msg = "Importing is Done, Files are imported!"    ' Define message.
  Style = vbOKOnly
  title = "Import Mesage"
 
    xlsPath = "C:\Xls\"    ' Set the xls path for new files.
    xlsPath2 = "C:\Xls\done\"    ' Set the 2nd xls path to store imported files.
    xlsFile = Dir(xlsPath & "*.xls", vbNormal)     ' Retrieve the first entry.
 
    Do While xlsFile <> ""    ' Start the loop.
        ' Ignore the current directory and the encompassing directory.
        fullXlsFile = xlsPath & xlsFile
        fullFile = xlsPath & xlsFile
        fullFile2 = xlsPath2 & xlsFile
        If Right(fullXlsFile, 4) = ".xls" Then 'import it
        DoCmd.SetWarnings False
        Set xls = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
        Set xlsWrkBk = GetObject(fullXlsFile)
        Set xlsSht = xlsWrkBk.Worksheets(1)
        Set xlsSht2 = xlsWrkBk.Worksheets(2)
 
        'Open 1st table
        Set rec = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblXls")
        rec.AddNew
        rec.Fields("Test") = Nz(StrConv(xlsSht.cells(2, "F"), vbProperCase), "bad1")
        rec.Fields("Test2") = Nz(StrConv(xlsSht.cells(2, "C"), vbProperCase), "bad2")
        rec.Fields("Test3") = Nz(StrConv(xlsSht.cells(2, "J"), vbProperCase), "0001110000")
        rec.Fields("Test4") = Left(xlsFile, 10)
        rec.Update
 
        'How do I open the second table here to continue exportind the rest of the data?
 
        DoCmd.SetWarnings True
        End If
 
        'Closing excel
        xlsWrkBk.Application.Quit
 
    'Moving the imported Excel file
    Name fullFile As fullFile2
    xlsFile = Dir()
 
    Loop
Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, title)
End Sub
 

Please Help. Thanks.

Hi,

Please Help. Thanks.

Here's an option...insert this inside your directory loop.

CurrentDb.Execute "Insert into tblXLs1Temp (Test1, Test2, Test3, Test4, Test5, Test6, Test7, Test8, Test3) * FROM [EXCEL 8.0;HDR=No;IMEX=2;DATABASE= '" & fullXlsFile & "'].[Sheet1$C2:J2];"
CurrentDb.Execute "Insert into tblXLs (Test1, Test2, Test3) Select (Test1, Test4, Test8) From tblXls1Temp;"
CurrentDb.Execute "Delete * from tblXLs1Temp;"
CurrentDb.Execute "Insert into tblXLs2Temp (Test1, Test2, Test3, Test4, Test5, Test6, Test7, Test8, Test3) * FROM [EXCEL 8.0;HDR=No;IMEX=2;DATABASE= '" & fullXlsFile & "'].[Sheet1$C3:J3];"
CurrentDb.Execute "Insert into tblXLs2 (Test1, Test2, Test3) Select (Test1, Test4, Test8) From tblXls2Temp;"
CurrentDb.Execute "Delete * from tblXLs2Temp;"
 

You'll need a temp table for each of your final tables.

NOTE: I'm looking into a way to provide the exact cells vs a range, but I've not had much luck.
