I havent used excel or access in a while but all I wanted to do for an end user was import data from excel to access. So in access I went to import, it shows the data in excel, I click next...
Then i want to append this data to an existing table but for some odd reason it is greyed out, the only option I have is to export the data directly into a new table...

Was wondering if anyone knows if there is an issue with this or if I am missing something, or if there is a better way to do this ?

Thanks

Do u have the same structure in both data locations? (ie In Excel & Access)
Also the data in each location are of same format (Excel not having different format of data, which Access table couldn't hold) ?
Tried the other way, export from Excel?

Can you DTS from XLS to Access? Might give you more flexibility.
