I have an Excel table and would like to convert it to an Access table and from that to an Oracle table.
In Excel, I don't have the button that says "Convert to Access". So, I do an OPEN WITH and I select Access. All columns, except one - the last name column-- get converted. Could you tell me what the porblem might be with this column?
I also open up Access and do an import, however that just gives me an error message that says could not import file.

What could be wrong with this column -- it contains lastnames with hyphens and apostrophes.
 
It is hard to tell without sample data. I find that apostrophes and hyphens work for me when I open Access and choose import Excel.
