Does anyone know how to import the first worksheet (regardless of name) of an excel file? The following works but only if the first worksheet is named "testdata". This name will change in every workbook
Code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8, "tbl_importeddata", strPath & strFile, True, testdata$
Thanks

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney

Figured it out, it was a simple as:
Code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8, "tbl_lab_results", strPath & strFile, True, sheets1$
