Linking Excel Files as Tables in Access
Hello, I am trying to link an Excel file to the Database, unfortunate the first column of the excel file is blank/empty hence access is not letting me link the file (probably because it think that the file is empty), is there anyway I can force link. Unfortunate I cannot change the source data and the file gets update daily by an independent application. Many thanks Hussein
RE: Linking Excel Files as Tables in Access
Hi Hussein,
Thanks for your question
I'm afraid that the blank column will prevent the data transfering. Access can only import an Excel list or database, and this must consist of a contigous set of rows and columns.
It is however possible to write A VBA procedure to achieve your aims. Attending the VBA introduction course will give you the basic skills to do this
Regards
Stephen
