Long time no post....

I don't think you have to many good options. Some thoughts..
Linking tables in Access is not very efficient, if you can import them,
which it sounds like you do. If the Excel SS always have the same name,
or are in the same directory, you code write some code to do the
import/clean up for you. If none of this is possible them maybe it's
possible to rewrite the MS query so it executes more efficiently.

Rmember that Access isn't my strong point BUT...
If you name the columns/rows as a range in Excel, I know when you import
Excel spreadsheets from Access, you have a choice to just import that
range...so maybe you could try that?

Subject: [mso] Excel - MS Query
Hi All.
Please forgive if you've already seen this email. They moved my account
to a different server and I've lost a lot of stuff. They are trying to
rescue it but for the moment...
I get data via MS Query through Microsoft Terminal Services. I don't
know if that's significant information or not.
The workbook has several spreadsheets. Each spreadsheet represents a
specific bit of information. The information is placed into Access.
If I link Access tables directly to the worksheets, a query can take a
LOOOONNNNNNGGGG time to run. I discovered that there are columns and
rows in the worksheets without no data in them. For example, a
worksheet that would contain 20,000 rows links to Access with 60,000
rows and where it should have 4 columns of data, it shows up with 9.
My solution to this has been to copy the data on each spreadsheet to a
new Excel spreadsheet which is then imported to Access. There's about
30 of these worksheets in three workbooks.
Is there a way of having Access link to or import only columns and rows
containing data?
Information, direction and advice appreciated. /g
