how to convert excel 2000 to access 2000

[W E B G U R L]

I could find a MS tech note but for different versions.

I have an Excel 2000 spreadsheet with no blank columns to convert to Access 2000 where I
have to assign a primary key to be used for the web. I could do this but as it was linked,
Access told me I cannot assign a primary key.

What am I doing wrong?

thanks

Nothing. You cannot assign a primary key on a non Access object (except in
an adp file for SQL-Server).

You can import the Excel data into an Access table and assign a key, but the
2 will no longer be linked.
