Appending excel sheets into access table

[al8876]

Hi!

Another really simple question I cannot seem to get!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm having trouble appending an excel sheet into my access table.

I have 8 columns in my excel sheet:

1- full_name (short text)


2- alias (short text)
3- email_address (short text)
4- user_ID (short text)
5- Location (which is annotated using numbers 1,2,3,4 etc.) (number)
6- active (yes/no)
7- TRI (yes/no)
8- Another user ID (Short text form)

I am trying to append this data to an existing table in excel with the EXACT same column names.

I can append each column from my excel sheet separately and they will appear on the access table, but once I try to append all of the columns at the same time, so the records are not placed in different rows, I get a message saying "Script out of Range"

I cannot seem to figure it out since they can be uploaded individually.

Just to clarify, the excel columns are formatted to the access columns.

Thanks!

What method are you using? Post code.

I am just going to "External Data" clicking on "Excel", and then "Append a copy of the records to the table"

Cheers!

Can't help much without code to analyze. Would have to examine and test your data.

Well, maybe this is related to issue - is there an autonumber field in the table?

Thanks for the help! I was able to upload the data in a very unconventional matter, but it still worked!

I was able to import the data into a new table in access, where I then exported that data into excel, and then re-imported that data into the original table I had tried to upload the original data into. It's a bit of a pain but it works!
