post 686362 tells me how to reference a specific sheet to import, but I need to import ALL sheets from a workbook, but I do not know their names in advance.
Is there a way to work around that?
Thanks!

I love it when I can solve my own questions….
Sub ImportAllTabs() Dim strPath As String strPath = "C:PathToFiles" Dim objXL As Object Set objXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application") Dim strFileName As String strFileName = Dir(strPath) While strFileName "" Debug.Print strFileName 'Open the spreadsheet and get the tab names... With objXL .Workbooks.Open Filename:=strPath & strFileName Dim arrSheetName() As String ReDim arrSheetName(objXL.Sheets.Count) For x = 1 To objXL.Sheets.Count arrSheetName(x) = objXL.Sheets(x).Name Next End With objXL.Workbooks.Close 'Import the tabs from this spreadsheet For x = 1 To UBound(arrSheetName) Debug.Print vbTab & arrSheetName(x) DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "TableToImportTo", _ strPath & strFileName, True, arrSheetName(x) & "$" Next x 'Next spreadsheet strFileName = Dir Wend objXL.Quit Set objXL = Nothing End Sub
