    VBA that imports excel data into table and deletes previous data

    I'm looking for help for writing a code that prompts the user to select a CSV file, which will import that file into a table. I also need the code to delete the data that was previously in the table. If anyone has any articles or youtube tutorials for writing this code, I'd greatly appreciate it. I can't seem to find any that show how to have the VBA run a delete query prior to importing the data.

    I have but I've yet to find a tutorial that includes both import steps along with deletion steps. I'm honestly very new to VBA in access and following tutorials is how I've been self-learning. I was hoping someone knew of any Youtube ones. I'll try the string...Thanks!
