Subscript Out Of Range Meaning
I was having same problem trying to import from Excel. I posted a request for help but did not get any responses. In the meantime, I deleted all empty columns and rows (they were empty cells I deleted,

but the worksheet previously had content in cells out to last column of the worksheet). I then had no problem importing the worksheet into Access. I think that once cells in the worksheet have content or have formatting applied to them, even if later deleted, Excel (or Access) looks at those cells as part of the import. Deleting the empty columns and/or rows restores them to a "pristine" condition (I'm guessing). You might also try copying the reserved words in access active cells to a new worksheet. Hope this helps. "Joe Ramos" wrote: > When I'm importing an Excel spreadsheet into an Access DB the import wizard > gives me a dialog box stating that the subscript is out of range.

I had to remove the columns from the Excel spreadsheet completely after which the import worked fine. The Excel spreadsheet is not allowed to contain any references to the associated Auto Number column in the DB. gbothma, Feb 18, 2009 #3 Francis of Harvey Guest "Joe Ramos" wrote: > When I'm importing an Excel spreadsheet into an Access DB the import wizard > gives me a dialog box stating that the subscript is out of range.

All I want to do is import a spreadsheet from excel to access. I have checked that all the fields and headings and content are correct. i have actually imported this data previously but had to remove it and start again. However now when I use the import data from excel button and follow the wizard through it comes up saying http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/microsoft-access/693419-importing-excel-access-subscript-out-range.html 'subscript out of range'. For a start I dont even know what this means and Access helpfully doesn't tell you. How do I find out, fix it and import data that happily went in before?? Help!

Importing Excel files into Access can sometimes be a fickle thing, especially if you are importing to an existing Access table, or there are inconsistencies in your data. Have a look here, and see if any of the situations mentioned here apply to you: Subscript Out of Range error when importing into Access 2007 from - Microsoft Community Note that when Access imports Excel files, it generally looks at about the first ten records to determine the format of each field. If something changes after that, it could cause problems. Like let's say that you have a field that looks numeric, but down on line 100, there is an alpha character in there. That will cause problems. I have spent hours on some of these imports before. As a last resort, I will export the Excel file to a text file format (CSV, tab-delimited, Fixed-Width, etc), and then import that into Access. The advantage there is you control the Date Types for all the fields you are importing, and it tends to work a little better. Share Share t
that can help you organize more complex types of interrelated data. Instead it's just a mess that's really hard to use, and it's a super pain to troubleshoot when you get some really unhelpful error message like, "Subscript out of range"when you're http://jimbodouglass.blogspot.com/2012/04/subscript-out-of-range-my-ass-ms-access.html trying to import an apparently perfectly formatted and matching set of data from an Excel worksheet into an existing table in your Access database. Oh, there are suggestions in the online help forums and stuff for what to do in that https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28443722/Subscript-out-of-range-when-importing-txt-file-in-MS-Access.html case. E.g., "Go into the Excel worksheet and make sure there aren't any funny formattings or hidden values in cells outside the range of data that you want to import." But sometimes you try everything and still keep getting the out of horrible error message. Here's one stupid trick that works for me sometimes when all else fails:1. Forget trying to import the data into the table you want to append. Just import it into it's own fresh table, which you can give a name like, "deleteme."2. After importing, highlight and copy the data in the "deleteme" table and paste it into a pristine new Excel worksheet.3. Delete the "ID" column from the data you just pasted into the Excel worksheet. Now that Excel subscript out of worksheet probably looks exactly like the one you were originally trying to import, but somehow, in some secret, arcane way, it's different, and Access won't balk at it.4. Import it to Access. If you're lucky, it works and you have successful outwitted that @#$% "Subscript out of range" message.5. Delete the "deleteme" table because you don't need it anymore.

Solved Subscript out of range when importing txt file in MS Access Posted on 2014-05-28 MS Access 1 Verified Solution 13 Comments 3,672 Views Last Modified: 2014-06-05 I am trying to import a txt file into my MS Access 2010 database table. Whenever I try to import I get a 'Subscript out of range' error. My txt file is delimited with pipe delimiter and no text qualifier. My dates are in the following format mm-dd-yyyy. I thought the error had to do with the date fields but I have tried setting my table date field as a date/time datatype and also a text field and I still get the error. If I import the file into a new table it works fine but if I try to import into this same table again I get the error. Not sure what else to try. 0 Question by:imstac73 Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google LVL 119 Active today Best Solution byRey Obrero how are you importing the text file? are you suing Import specification?
