[mso] Re: How intelligent are Access imports?

I would import the tables as themselves then use append queries to put
the data where it belongs.=20

Subject: [mso] How intelligent are Access imports?

I have a potential problem. Suppose in Excel Sheet A I have the
following at the top of each column.

CemeteryName-address-PhoneNo-City-zipcode-state--status

But on in a different file I have the same data, but in TEXT and in a
different order, say:
CemeteryName-address-city-state-zip-PhoneNo-Status

But a third file is worse. It has:
Status-PhoneNo-Zip-State-City-Address--CemeteryName

And a fourth file is just CemeteryNames alone. No data yet.

Will Access import them, and keep that straight? The files are too large
for Excel to reorder the columns without losing something at the bottom.

Thank you.

Robert
