Unlinking Tables

J

I have a table that is linked from excel into access and it is giving me
grief. Is there a way to unlink the table? I'm using access 2000. Thanks!

Open the Access database file. Use the database window, click on the Tables
tab.

Highlight the linked excel file in question and hit <Delete>. You'll be
prompted for whether you wish to delete the link.

I think my question is similar: I'm using Access 2008 and used Excel to
import data, but I did it a weird way, and ended up with a linked table
instead of what I wanted. I don't need to keep the spreadsheet, and want to
continue to update the data in Access. What now?

I tried using a similar method to the above, but was told I couldn't delete
a database object while it was open.
