[AccessD] Excel Import

Hi, Keith

I can't say that I've seen that behavior before, but Access seems to be seeing the entire Excel sheet as the data source when you do the import.  Try naming the range (Insert/Name) of the Excel sheet that holds the data.  Then specify that named range for import into your table.  Named ranges are very useful both within Excel and for this sort of external task.

Hope this helps!

Subject: [AccessD] Excel Import

Hey Guys,

I am trying to do an Excel import, into a new table.  There are 98 lines
of data in my Excel file.  However, when I do my import....no matter
what I do, it imports 64,963 records.  I have gone to the excel file and
deleted every blank line, after my data.  But it still imports the same
number of records.  Why would it import all the empty fields??

Thanks,
