Import Individual Rows of Excel Data

Is it possible to import a row of Excel data into an existing Access
database?  The Excel spreadsheet is being updated on a regular basis, and I
would like to take the updated information and add it to the current Access
database.  Is there VBA code to do this?

So you want two copies of the same data, one copy in Excel and another in
Access?

If you/your users make a change to one of those copies, how do you determine
which one is the correct one?

An alternative might be to link to the Excel data, rather than make copies
of it...

Ultimately, what I am looking to do is to take data from multiple Excel files
and import it into one Access database.  The data that I am taking from Excel
would actually be from multiple Excel files.  For example, I have one Excel
file with build data for every product we produce.  I would then like to take
the data from each Excel file and put it into an Access database.  Does this
help?

Whether you are taking data from one Excel spreadsheet or many, the issue
remains.

If you maintain BOTH the Access and the Excel data stores, which one is
correct?  What happens when a value is changed in one source but not the
other?

And the notion of linking to each/all of the Excel spreadsheets works for
one or for many.

Good luck!
