Importing Excel into Access with VB

T2
I need some code ideas to import Excel into Access using
VB. I need to use VB because the Excel column formats are
not always consistent.

I'm importing a fairly simple spreadsheet.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure you are talking about VB.NET?

Hi T2,

Maybe you can try it using OleDB here are Oledb connection strings including
Excel.

http://www.connectionstrings.com/

Watch special to that Imex I never used that, so I dont know if it will
works for you

And this is a sample SQL string, watch that $ sign.
OleDb.OleDbComm and("Select * from [sheet1$]"

I hope this helps,

Cor

I am importing a .csv file into Access that has 37 fields. My problem is that sometimes the last field only has data at the end of the column (it looks like when you import a file into Access, for the last field, it only checks the top few 'cells' to see if there is any data, if not, the field is not imported). How do I 'force' Access to import the field, regardless if there is data in the top of the field or not? For instance, I might...

The table “TblBudget” in Access is made of 4 fields, namely: (1) CostElement (2) CostCenter (3) Month (4) Amount$. At the moment this method is very cumbersome....

I want to be able to import an Excel spreadsheet into Access 2K using the macro command Transferspreadsheet. However, the file I am importing (over which I have no control) contains some records that are "dirty" i.e. the field contents do not comply with the expected format (date/time) and they end up in a seperate table of import errors. (The records in "error" are actually empty fields.) This is a regular event and I do not want to...

I am trying to import an excel file into Access 97. It looks perfectly all right but, every time I try to import it, I get to the lst step and am told that it was not imported due to an error. There is no further explanation. What are the kinds of things that make this happen? Thanks from an obvious rookie. Gordon

Hi I have a question which I hope somebody can answer. I have written a VB application with which I want to import an Excel file, analyze the data within it and do some calculations. There are in fact five sheets in the Excel file. My original idea was to import the file into access and create a database file; which I did and worked beautifully. It generated five tables in the database as expected. However, I then thought why not...

I have a table in Access which needs updating from an Excel file. Instead of importing the whole Excel like a new table in Acess, how do I do a partial import/update?? For example, Access table has 100 rows of records and 10 columns of attributes. The Excel table has only 50 rows of records and and 2 attributes. The key IDs for the 50 rows and names for the 2 attributes are already defined in the Access table. Thanks in advance!!
