Introducing Tinuviel

[tinuviel]

Hi all,

My user name is tinuviel and I've just joined the forum. I live in central Scotland half-way between Glasgow and Edinburgh, and have been an Access user and developer for a number of years. I recently upgraded from Access 2000 to Access 2010 and have just started to recreate the database I regularly use on a new Windows 7 laptop. There are several problems already, which motivated me to join the forum. The main one for the moment is with three macros I use with the TransferSpreadsheet action - this transfers data on a specific spreadsheet and appends the records to a specified table. However, when trying to create the macro in Access 2010 this action is not listed in the drop-down list. I would be most grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

Welcome aboard Tinuviel,

Why not use VBA instead? It hasn't changed much since Access '97

If you can share what the Marco did I can convert it to VBA for you.

Hi G37Sam,

Thanks for your reply and apologies for the late answer - I've been off on a few days break. I know a little VB but don't know how to go about solving my little problem. I've detailed the macro below - if you could translate it to VB code, that would be a really great help.

Macro - Archive Database

Transfer Spreadsheet TransferType - Import
SpreadsheetType - Microsoft Excel 8-9
Table Name - Archive
File Name - C:\SKF\SkfMaster\Archive\
SkfToBeArchived.xls
Has Field Names - Yes

This is followed by several OpenQuery commands which will still be the same.

Hope this makes sense - and thanks again.
