No, by using VBA. That's what you asked for, right? Have you tried it?

Private Sub btnImportSpreadsheet_Click()
Dim FSO As New FileSystemObject

If Nz(Me.txtFileName, "") = "" Then
MsgBox "Please select a file!"
Exit Sub
End If

If FSO.FileExists(Nz(Me.txtFileName, "")) Then
ExcelImport.ImportExcelSpreadsheet Me.txtFileName, FSO.GetFileName(Me.txtFileName)
Else
MsgBox "File not found!"
End If

End Sub


I only tried this code, but this code used to import data from excel to new table not to specific table. otherwise no

I suggest you try it and let us know how it goes.

Solved, appreciated.
I used the below Code:

Public Sub ImportExcelSpreadsheet(fileName As String, tableName As String)
On Error GoTo BadFormat
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "EmpDoc", fileName, True
Exit Sub

BadFormat:
MsgBox "The file you tried to import was not an Excel spreadsheet."
End Sub


Note: EmpDoc = access table name
