Import Data From Excel to Access

[smil3y]

After searching for information on how to import data from Excel to Access I am now confused.

I am using VB6 (on XP) and have set up an ado connection to the required Excel spreadsheet. I wrote a query but could not figure out how to specify which worksheet to import from - so I started searching.

Everything I read mentions using docmd.transferspreadsheet.

I must do the transfer from the VB application - but which is easiest way to transfer the data sql query or docmd.

Is there a good reference for how to use docmd?
Also can someone tell me how to specify a worksheet within SQL query.
Many thanks.

could not figure out how to specify which worksheet
"SELECT * FROM [NameOfSheet$]"

Hope This Helps, PH.
