    Paste Data From Excel To Access Form

    Hi,
    I would love to add a feature that let my users to paste the data from excel to access form. How could I implement such option?



    It should give users a possibility to paste around 12 field values (in a single record) at once.

    I know, there is an option for importing data from Excel to Access. However, my users sometimes use some random spreadsheets in excel for their own calculations, and it would save them a lot of time, if they could paste data directly from excel into access database.

    Any ides?

    Marcin

    i know you can manually copy and past from sheets to access tables with good compatibility but I doubt you can do it with forms because forms are not actual spreadsheet objects, but rather the display screen

    Thank you Adam for your insight!

    Well, I have found a way round Your post Adam, gave me thought of Sheets. You can give an option to the user to view the form in a Sheet View where they can freely paste the data from excel.

    Thanks!
