I am trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into Access 2007. I can not save
the new table because I continue to get an error message that says " is not a
valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or
punctuation and that it is not too long.
I did not used " in the naming of my new table. I even tried to use one
letter to name the table and still got the same error message. What am I
doing wrong?

I suspect that what that error message is saying (but not too clearly) is
that you don't have ANY name (i.e., what appears between those two single
quote marks).

If you'll describe a bit more about HOW you are trying to do this, folks
here may be able to offer more specific suggestions... remember, we aren't
there, so you have to walk us through what you are doing...
