Importing Excel Sheets to Access

[Adam]

How do i import more than one excel sheet or tabs at once?

If you mean in "one" import process, the answer is you don't. You must do
multiple imports. You may be able to automate this by using a macro or VBA
code.

Good suggestion, Jamie. Hadn't tried this before.

Are you sure? Try this:

INSERT INTO MyTable
(key_col, data_col)
SELECT DT1.key_col, DT1.data_col
FROM (
SELECT F1 AS key_col, F2 AS data_col
FROM [Excel 8.0;HDR=NO;Database=C:\MyWorkbook.xls;].[Sheet1$]
UNION
SELECT F1 AS key_col, F2 AS data_col
FROM [Excel 8.0;HDR=NO;Database=C:\MyWorkbook.xls;].[Sheet2$]
UNION
SELECT F1 AS key_col, F2 AS data_col
FROM [Excel 8.0;HDR=NO;Database=C:\MyWorkbook.xls;].[Sheet3$]
) AS DT1;
