Importing Data from Excel

What is the easiest way of importing data from Excel into Access?

RE: Importing Data from Excel

Hi Lee

Thank you for your question

There is a standard importing wizard that will do this for you

Click on file Get-Get External Data-Import.

In the resulting dialog box, select the file type as Excel Spreadsheet, and then browse to find the relevant file and click OK

The wizard will then walk you through the process, checking on data types etc. and will finish by creating an Access table based on the spreadsheet

Regards

Stephen
