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:

Please Help. Thanks.

Please Help. Thanks.

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

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.
