Hi Jim

I think acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12xlsx is the one you want to use. Too bad MS has messed up the help files beyond all possible use for today's versions.

Hello all,

I have been using the following line of code to transfer spreadsheets into the database. 
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel5, "Student Positions", "W:\DATA MANAGEMENT SERVICES\MASTER PEOPLESOFT TABLES\Student Positions.xls", True, ""

We are now needing to use xlsx format instead of xls. In the beginning access did not transfer xlsx so it was easy to use the older format. but we are using new software to download our data and xls is not available. I found the following to change to the new format but I wanted to confirm that i am using the correct one

acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml

10

Microsoft Excel 2010/2013/2016 XML format (.xlsx, .xlsm, .xlsb)

So my code would now be 
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12xlsx, "Student Positions", "W:\DATA MANAGEMENT SERVICES\MASTER PEOPLESOFT TABLES\Student Positions.xlsx", True, ""

or do i use the following because we have office 365 Excel 2019

acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12

9

Microsoft Excel 2010 format

thank you so much for the help
