I have an excel spreadsheet that has contact data in one
colume as follows:

name1
company1
street1
town, st zip 1
blank line
name2
company2
street2
town, st zip 2
blank line

each line is in a different row. I would like to import it
into an access table but the data is difficult to
manipulate now without manually copying and pasting cells.
Any ideas as to how I can manipulate this data into a more
user friendly format such as:

name1 company1 street1 town1 st1 zip1
name2 company2 street2 town2 st2 zip2

thanks much

Jeff,

The following code does what you want, I think.
For the example it is based on the source data being in column 2(B),
starting at Row 6 and the destination starting at Row 6, Column 4(D).

Sub ReLocate()
Dim SrceRw, DestRw
SrceRw = 6: DestRw = 6
Do
Range(Cells(SrceRw, 2), Cells(SrceRw + 3, 2)).Copy
Cells(DestRw, 4).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Transpose:=True
SrceRw = SrceRw + 5: DestRw = DestRw + 1
Loop Until Cells(SrceRw, 2) = ""
End Sub

The loop ends when a blank name cell is encountered.
regards,
Don
