    Hello,

    Excel files can be imported into Access through File > Import.

    Kamii,

    You can update tables from Excel spreadsheets a number of ways. As already mentioned (assuming you are on Office 2003 here), you can do an XML import, becauses Excel 2003 offers its data through SpreadsheetML. It's a breeze using the Import method.

    Now, if you want to do more targeted updates, for example, you want to grab a List or a named range of cells, you can open the spreadsheet programmatically, grab the list or named range, and then access the data in the list or range. You can then use these data to update your table using the standard data operations in Access.

    It is helpful to remember that this forum is mainly for issues that directly pertain to the Visual Studio Tools for Office tools per se. So you will be best served by posing this question to a forum or newsgroup wholly dedicated to application-specific issues such as yours. Here is a link to resources that will help you:

    Access Developer Portal

    You will want to look at the articles, reference material, and appropriate newsgroups there.

    Regards, and Rock On

    John.
