Importing Excel Spreadsheet Problem
Since upgrading to Excel 2003 I can no longer import an Excel spreadsheet
into Access 97, this worked fine with Excel 2002 When using the import spreadsheet wizard to import my spreadsheet I get an error message "There is no object in this Control" I have tried this with a new db as well as four or my old db's but can not get the spreadsheet to import. Can anyone offer a solution please

I haven't encountered this exact problem, but it sounds like you are describing an "older" version of Access ('97) not being able to understand the file format of a "newer" version of Excel ('03). Have you tried using Excel to "save back" to an earlier version of Excel, then try importing? -- Good luck Jeff Boyce Access MVP "Steve Goodrich" wrote in message ...

AFAIK, there weren't any file format changes between Excel 97 and Excel
2003. I have no problems using that same combination (Access 97/Excel 2003) on my laptop (running WinXP Home SP2) -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!)

Given Douglas' response, and your trial, you've stumped me. Perhaps one of
the other readers can offer an approach... -- Good luck Jeff Boyce Access MVP "Steve Goodrich" wrote in message ...

Steve stated "can not get the spreadsheet to import". Did you ever try with
a spreadsheet that is not _the_ spreadsheet? -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "Jeff Boyce" -DISCARD_HYPHEN_TO_END wrote in message ... Given Douglas' response, and your trial, you've stumped me.

Thinking Out loud Stupid question but are there any VBA Userforms in the
file you are trying to import and if so what "Controls" are available in Excel but not Access? (If any?! - newbie to Access) Mark (InWales) "Jeff Boyce" -DISCARD_HYPHEN_TO_END wrote in message ...
