    Import Data from Excel File

    Hello,



    I imported the data from the Excel file into a brand new table in Access 2010. I chose not to import several columns since these are not needed in the table. To do this, I would click on the check "Skip Import". After choosing the columns to skip and importing it into a brand new table, Access prompted me to save the import so that I can re-use the map, if needed. However, when I look at the table design, I see all the columns instead of the selected columns I chose to import. Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    I duplicated your steps - exactly like you described - and Access did not import the fields that I told it to skip.

    Did you try the process again? It should work without a problem. I do this a lot and it has always worked for me.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
