I want to import an excel 2003 spreadsheet into access 2003. I know the
correct procedure to do this: File/GetExternalData/Import and i choose the
location that i want to import the .xls file from.
When I pull down the "files of type" list, it only lets me choose from .mdb
file types or xml file types..no .xls or even "all files." I did a complete
reinstall of Office 2003 and choose any and every feature that is has and it
still cannot see .xls file type option on the Import window... please help
