  Using ADO for an excel file, allows you to 'read' an excel file like you
  would a regular recordset.  You can set in the flags of the connection
  whether you want to use the first row as field names or not.

  I've only used DAO . . .  I can look back through the discussion and
  check out the ADO stuff.

  I'm assuming there is something wrong with the PHP/Excel generation --
  missing information about the header rows or something that is fixed
  when it is saved in Excel.   I was hoping someone on the list had
  experience with it on that end.

    You can use ADO to read excel files..... are you familiar with ADO?

    I'm having a problem importing Excel files generated by PHP-Excel into
    Access.  

    I am using Docmd.TransferSpreadsheet.

    Access is not "seeing" the first row and column of the worksheet, so I
    am getting an error due to a mismatch of field names plus missing the
    first column of data.

    If  I import the excel data without field names, it's still incorrect
    because it does not see the first row/column

    If I try to import the data using the import wizard, Access does not
  see
    the first row and column.


    If I open the PHP-Excel generated  .xls  file in Excel and save it,
    everything works.

    Has anyone had experience with PHP-Excel and could point me in the
  right
    direction with this?  I've tried searching for this problem, but can't
    find a solution.  It seems that something is wrong in the generation
  of
    the Excel file.

    I'd prefer not to use my work-around as a final solution, since it
    presumes the end-user will have Excel on his machine -- not something
  I
    can't count on.



    TIA,
