Import text file to access database via Excel VBA.

Is it possible to import a text file into an access database via Excel.
The Access Table that the file should be imported already exist - it just
should be emptied of data and populated by the new data from the text file.
Thank you.

Hi,
yes, you can, you open text file using Open # statement, then read lines
using line input# and add records to access table.
If Access installed - then you can also create new instance of access using
createobject("Access.Application") and then run docmd.transfertext method,
like you do in access
