Questions: 1. Define what you imply by "flat file". Also define what you mean by the (oxymoronic !) term "flat file database".
2. Is your "flat file" actually an MS Excel spreadsheet (.xls) ? Or you want to import data from an .xls into a flat file ? 3. Why can't the import be done directly from MS Excel ? Why does MS Access have to come into the picture at all ? Haven't had my morning coffee yet, so apologies if these are dumb questions! :-)
