Hi,
I have one Excel workbook with about 25 worksheets. In each worksheet column labels are in row 1 and data fills rows 2 through row 435.

The workbook is named MarginFormatted.xls and each worksheet name ends with the letters "EP."

The Access database is called MarginData.mdb.

How can I get ADO to pull all my excel worksheet data into Access? I've tried adjusting KeepItCool's macro (see below) but it doesn't work. The hour glass runs for a split second and then stops. No errors. But no data is imported into Access.

Thanks
Steve

I see:

DROP TABLE DUMP

and

INSERT INTO dump ...

but no

CREATE TABLE DUMP ...

And you don't seem to be calling sub procedure XLS2MDB anyhow.
