I have an Excel spreadsheet that I want to use to append a table in Access. I pulled VBA code from this website and was able to modify the code so that it works up to when I get "The recordset was not created!" error. Can someone please advise on what I'm overlooking? I contacted the author of the code, but I haven't heard back yet. Thanks.
