    Run-time error 3011 on TransferSpreadsheet acImport

    I'm getting a puzzling error on a function that I've been using for years to import multiple Excel worksheets into a table. This is working code that is actively in use to import other workbooks with multiple worksheets, however I'm working with a new workbook for this specific capture, and it's not cooperating.


    As you can see from the below code, I'm grabbing a workbook and trying to import the 4 sheets by name (as I understand is the only way.) I assure you that the names of the sheets are correct, yet the error (3011 - The MS Access database engine could not find the object) states that it cannot find it. When I take the names off, it grabs Sheet1 by default and nothing else. What could be going on that's preventing it from recognizing the named sheets? What else can I try? Thanks!

    Code:
    Public Function import_lex_star_3m()
        Dim fDialog As Office.FileDialog
        Dim varFile As Variant
        Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
        With fDialog
           .AllowMultiSelect = True
           .Title = "Please select STAR files"
           .InitialFileName = Environ("USERPROFILE") & "\Desktop\DNFB Holds Report\Reports\" & "LEXINGTON*STAR*" & ".xlsx"
           .Filters.Clear
           .Filters.Add "Excel File", "*.xls*"
           If .Show = True Then
              For Each varFile In .SelectedItems
                 DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "lex_star_3m_detail", varFile, True, "CCK"
                 DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "lex_star_3m_detail", varFile, True, "ST JOSEPH MAIN"
                 DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "lex_star_3m_detail", varFile, True, "ST JOSEPH EAST"
                 DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "lex_star_3m_detail", varFile, True, "JESSAMINE"
                Next
           End If
        End With
    End Function

    Yes, the path and file name are passed here:

    Code:
    .InitialFileName = Environ("USERPROFILE") & "\Desktop\DNFB Holds Report\Reports\" & "LEXINGTON*STAR*" & ".xlsx"
    It grabs the file, no problem. And it will import data from Sheet1 if I do not define the sheet names. But that's the issue, I have 4 sheets in that workbook that need to be imported. The error is saying it cannot find the sheet name and I don't know why.
