Import data into Access

H

Howard

When I import and Excel spreadsheet into Access 2000
and don't index any columns the resulting Access database
destroys the original order of the rows in the Excel
spreadsheet.

Is this a bug?

No, it is not. A database table is not a spreadsheet, but rather a
collection of records. If it is not indexed and you don't specify the sort
order in a query, the database engine is free to present it to you in any
order.
