Uploading Spreadsheets and Worksheets into Access Databases

Hi

I could do with some advice on uplading information form spreadsheets and various worksheets within a spreadsheet into a database.

I am aware that it is possible to upload a single worksheet into an access database, my question is, is it a problem to ask the database to upload information from two separate worksheets within a spreadsheet?

Is is better to keep it as two spreadsheets?

Or can you specify certain fields off each worksheet?

What happens if someone changes a heading of a column in a worksheet, will it reject the upload? Or what if someone changed the column order?

Any advice on this would be great

Thanks

RE: Uploading Spreadsheets and Worksheets into Access Databases

Hi Clare

If you want to upload more than one worksheet from an excel workbook you have two options:

1. Import each worksheet separately and then use an Upend Query to unite the data.

2. If this is a recurring job or you need some fields from one sheet and the rest from another, you will need to use Macros(VBA code).

Access tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Access 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
