Exporting Excel to Access

[Jim Alexander]

While designing my service reports using Excel 2002, I didn't take into
consideration the fact that I would need to export data to an Access 2002
database in the future. Therefore, I've got cells at different
locations throughout the worksheet that contain information that I need to
export. All information regarding exporting data to Access implies that one
has to start out with a tabular type Excel worksheet
in order to facilitate an import. I've had success using a macro to copy the
affected cells to another spreadsheet and then importing from that
spreadsheet. Unfortunately I have about six hundred service
tickets, (one per worksheet, each one a separate file) and need to come up
with a scheme that will allow me to do this in a more efficient manner. Any
ideas would be appreciated.

This might be a help for getting data to and from Excel and Access: It
includes examples of using variables in SQL queries.
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/sql.html

Or you can get there from the "Excel with Access Databases" section on page:
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/examples.htm

It demonstrates how to use SQL in Excel's VBA to:

* create a database,
* create a table and add data to it,
* select data from a table,
* delete a table,
* delete a database.

You can also download the demonstration file called "excelsql.zip".

The code is open and commented.
