import excel files into Access

hi everyone,
here's what i have...i am going to be receiving a couple thousand seperate
workbooks over the next few months. all of the workbooks have one sheet all
formated the same. i would like to set something up to put the data into my
access database. i do have a table in access with all of the same
corresponding fields. the thing is that the workbook/sheet does not have the
info all in one row. it is all over a1, b3, a5, etc...

i'm thinking of maybe having a an Access Form where i can click a button,
prompt me to select a file click, click "ok" then it puts all of the data in
my table. it would also be nice to have this automatically move the excel to
a new folder (Completed Survey).

example:
vendor1.xls cells a1, b3, b6, c7 would be row 1 in the access table

vendor2.xls cells a1, b3, b6, c7 would be row 2 in the access table

vendor3.xls cells a1, b3, b6, c7 would be row 3 in the access table

my vba skills are somewhat limited, but they are improving. thanks in
advance for anyones help.
