Import Excel data - File not open
I have a macro built that imports data from an excel file. This works fine when the actual excel spreadsheet is open. It will not work if the spreadsheet is closed. Can I add a command to my macro that opens the specific spreadsheet, then closes it when the data is imported? or Can I import the data without opening the spreadsheet some other way? Thanks for your time....

Access to Access transfer of external data?
OK: Our data comes in to us in Excel spreadsheets, we upload that data into a local Sybase database, it's quick and presents no problems, but...we also need to upload that data into an Access database located overseas which means going across our network, which takes forever.

Change back the import wizard
In older versions of Access, when we wanted to import data into an EXISTING table, we could map the fields of the external data to which existing field that data was meant for - in case the field names didn't match. I just spent an hour helping my payroll manager tweaking csv text files and excel tables in order to import them into a dbase she uses to track 401K data for our auditors. ...

This all works great - until n...
