I have an Access 2000 database that imports an Excell worksheet using
transferspreadsheet. The source of the worksheet changed from Excel 2000 to
2007. Now I receive the error that it is an unexpected format. Is there a way
to import the worksheet without upgrading Access to 2007?
Thanks

Can you export to CSV, then import to Excel2007?
