I am going absolutely crazy trying to figure this out. Every time that I try to import Excel data into Access, I get the error 'Microsoft Access has stopped working.', it crashes and restarts Access. This happens in existing databases and brand new ones. I have tried all the 'Compact and Repairs' and everything else I can find on Google. I have even completely removed Office and reinstalled it. Still crashes. I HAVE to get this solved. I am working on a major project and will soon be to the point where I have to flush the testing data and import the real stuff. The problem is... I can't import ANYTHING.
It also happens when I try to use various 'wizards'.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Jeff

Does the Excel spreadsheet have Column Titles? If so might be one of those causing the hang up, say if you have special characters included in the name.
