verify external data before importing
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 |

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. -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "MarMo" wrote in message ...

verify external data before importing
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 "Don Guillett" wrote in message ...
