Is it possible to import an Excel spreadsheet into Access 2000 and overwrite duplicate records. If so, how?

I assume you have a unique key that determines the duplicates and you have do not allow duplicates in the table definition.

If you append the records from excel the duplicates should kick out into another table (errors).

Write an update query joining on the errors table.

Delete the errors table.
