We had developed a similar function that you select the Excel.Column Data
and assign to File.Field Data. The process was simple. Make a Form with this
fields: Excel Origin / Excel Column / Access Database / Access Recordser /
Access Field (dbText, 80) is better because you can convert this to
Csng/Clng and use this.
Design the main import form and then execute a Sub that open Excel and check
main data to transfer to end Database.

I will check our code to look for this and send you a copy of this.

Hi guys
 
Just brainstorming with myself to improve some stuff...
 
We receive on a daily basis (7x7) a lot of excel files with data in it from
several sources. We can not standarise those files for several reasons so we
print these files en type the data manualy in Access. I was wondering if
anyone ever has written a function so you could click the cells with the
data and then right-click something and the data is passed to a recordset in
Access depending on your multiselect order in Excel.
 
Importing is not an option because these files change to much and are often
to complex (more data in the file then we need).
 
The data are boxoffice figures from cinema theatres.
So the data we need as a result looks like this.
 
Date1 MovieA Tickets Amount
Date1 MovieB Tickets Amount
Date1 MovieC Tickets Amount
Date2 MovieA Tickets Amount
Date2 MovieC Tickets Amount
Date2 MovieD Tickets Amount
 
 
The excel sheets can vary, it can be horizontal, vertical, double vertical
double horizontal...
 
So I believe a multi select would be a solution. I think it will be faster
than printing and manual typing. I just want some code that put me on the
road with this multiselecting thing and passing to Access.
