"*exception06W*" ORDER BY [Name];

i have this Command0 that imports my weekly report to Access and i have this
code...

On Error GoTo Err_Command0_Click

Dim i As Integer

For i = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1

If List1.Selected(i) Then
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, List1.Column(0, 1), _
"D:\" & List1.Column(0, i) & ".xls", True, ""
MsgBox "Table is already Imported"
End If

Next i
Exit_Command0_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_Command0_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description

what do else do i need to write from this code? or what do i miss to write?

i want that when i click Command0 it prompts drive D:\ window so that
users have the option to choose what to import..

hope there is someone is kind to help me with this code...


thanks
 
You've described "how".

"How" depends on "what". What are you trying to accomplish (with the
approach you mentioned), and what does the underlying data look like?

Again, you are describing "how" ("command0", code, ...).

Let's see if I can paraphrase your situation...

You have data that is compiled (weekly) in Excel. You want to be able to
use that data from within Access.

If that's a reasonable description of "what", then you might want to
consider linking to Excel rather than importing (that way, you don't have
two copies of the same data floating about, with increased risk of data
integrity issues).

And it would probably help the folks here to answer your specific questions
if you provided specific information about what you want to DO with the data
from within Access. How are you intending to use it?

***** Yes i have a compiled data from Excel and i want this Command0 to
Import this file to access. and i don't know how to write my codes in
importing this data to access (Excel to Access).

If you have limited experience creating procedures in VBA, you'll need to
decide if now it the time to learn, or if getting the job done is more
important to you. If you just need the job done, consider looking at how
Access Macros work... the learning curve is not as steep as VBA (but the
flexibility is not as great).
