The same thing occurs however if I use a file created in Excel 2003. I have tried reinstalling already. I know I will get the error if there are spaces inside of the spreadsheet. There are not and others can import the same file just fine. I was able to do the import a few days ago and this process has worked for years. I access an error occurred trying to save import/export specification can even make a very simple spreadsheet that should work and works on everyone elses computer but will not work on this one. Any suggestions? Wednesday, September 22, 2010 2:48 PM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote Hello, I actually fixed the problem. This usually is the answer, yes but in this case the database was corrupted and I had to perform a repair. If this helps anyone else out, I hope I was helpful.

You can resolve the error in the following ways: · Open the spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel and remove the leading space from the field name. · Link the spreadsheet in Microsoft Access instead of importing it.

I am trying to import an excel file into access as a table. I successfully http://database.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/access-l/unable-to-import-spreadsheet-942865 imported the first file but the second file gives me an error that says "An error occurred trying to import file ____. The file was not imported." What are the possible reasons this error has occurred? Both error occurred excel files I am importing are in the same format, so I am confused as to why one worked but the other did not. Thanks for any help. 07-10-2005, 04:36 AM #2 statsman Newly Registered User Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Toronto ON Posts: 2,057 Thanks: 0 Thanked 3 Times in 3 Posts Do you have a calculated value in your Excel table? Access doesn't like to an error occurred import Excel tables with calculated values. It prefers to do the calculations itself. The odd thing is sometimes it will accept it, somtimes it won't. Make a copy of your Excel table and remove the calculated values. Import the table to Access. Then use a query to create your calculated values. Hope this helps. statsman View Public Profile Find More Posts by statsman 07-10-2005, 11:55 PM #3 gpurger Registered User Join Date: Apr 2004 Posts: 66 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts Hi, When Excel is inported access sets the columns data type to what is in the first row of the column. If the data type changes then it will cause your error and create the error tables. Tips Do not have an empty first row. Have only 1 row as headings. Do not use merged cells. I find that these are very good rules to apply. As you advance onto VBA you find ways around these problems.
