We've created an Access Database. We have a bunch of data
in excel that needs to be transfered to access every day.
We've written a macro to organize our excel data into the
database format (a csv file). I would like to find out
what I need to write into my macro that would
automatically import the data into access for me. If
anybody has any help it would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks Eric

Why not create linked tables in Access that contain your spreadsheet info,
then all your data-importing is handled through SQL.

....or run a query in MS Access to create a new Table e.g.

SELECT *
INTO MyNewTable
FROM [MyWorkSheet$] IN 'C:\MyWorkBook.xls' 'EXCEL 8.0;'

It would be more efficient and require less effort to use linked tables.

I don't despute that. However, "linked table" (two way traffic) is not
an import. I was just posting an alternative approach.
