You don't tell us what type of error you were told had occurred, and you
don't tell us the structure of the table nor of the spreadsheet.

Just guessing, a common problem with importing data to an existing table is
that the first field in the table is an autonumber field for the table's
primary key. That field does not exist as a column in the EXCEL spreadsheet.
Therefore, when Jet tries to do the import, the columns and fields do not
match by name or by data type, and the import can fail.

I posted this in another group but here it goes...
I am trying to import a Paradox table that has only two text fields and
about 15 blob graphic records, 6 years work.
I am done with Paradox and am going to switch to Access.
The problem is that after importing all the tables, the one with the
pictures only imports the key fields.  I loose all the pictures.
How can I import to Access ALL the fields including the pictures?  I know it
can be done but just don't know how.
