Formatting text-delimited Excel sheet on import?

Hi all,

Each day I have an Excel-format sheet which I need to spend considerable time formatting using text-to-columns prior to importing it into my Access database. I would love to be able to automate the formatting of the this sheet either within Excel (prior to the import) or within Acess (during the import.)

Is such a thing possible? What commands in VBA might help me sort this out?

thanks in advance.
 




Hi,

Is your data in Excel, not properly parsed?

Where is the source data for Excel? Is it a text file? Maybe a .csv?

Why bother importing the text file into excel before Access. Just import the text file into Access, bypassing Excel.

Need a bit more info on where and what the source data for Excel is.

Skip,

for a NUANCE![tongue]
