VBA run-time error 3170: Could not find installable ISAM (1 Viewer)

[navi95]

Hello all you genius MS access users!

I am trying to get this simple code to work, I just wanted to import my "Kunden" table from a XLSX excel file with the following code:

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, Kunden, "e:\pizza program\kunden.xlsx", True

But i seem to be getting this runtime error 3170. Ive looked around on google, I saw some people mentioning that maybe dll files need registering?

Any comments would be awesome! Thanks

Also, Kunden must be in quotes. "Kunden"

You can install the isams via control panel, programs,Access repair/reinstall.
Make sure you check all. ODBC drivers,isams ,etc

Ha! I just managed to fix it! I realised that between "acimport, kunden" there should of been the spreadsheet type. So my working code looks like this now:

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "Kunden", "e:\pizza program\kunden.xlsx", True

Thanks
