Hi Don ,
I was thinking about this:
Or to open the file before importing or importing it into an
"importpage".
Maybe i can use an Msquery file to import from a fixed path/file folder.
ie: C:\DbFolder\xlsfile.xls

I get a rough idea how to accomplish this.
If you or someone else have another idea , i'll be glad to hear it.
Thanks for the reply
MarMo

Might be easier to have the macro import the file to a page and then
look to see if you want to copy to the main page.

Hi there ,

In my small application i'd like to import a .cvs , .xls or .txt file
into a known sheet.

I'd like to verify the file that will be imported before the data is
imported.
for example : headers need to match or number of columns must be 5 ,
etc

These are the steps to follow :
1) Click a button to import
2) open the file for verification and verify some data with criteria.
3) if verification is correct = import data , else close file and stop
importing.

Can someone help me a little bit with this one? or point me in the
right direction.
Thanks
Marmo
