We are importing an Excel spreadsheet into an Access Db. We do not want the entire spreadsheet, just certain cells which may change from import to import, so we have an Access table that lists the cells we need that the user can alter. Then we loop through the table and use transfer spreadsheet to bring the cells in one by one based on the values in the Access control table. This is a spreadsheet that is used to send information to the EPA on impurities in water discharged from a plant. If the amount is under a certain amount (AMT for example) the report finally generated by Access should say < AMT rather than the actual amount. To distinguish < AMT in the spreadsheet, the Excel cells have a red background, and the operator will enter the minimum amount rather than the actual amount. So we need to know tha background color of the cell to distinguish the minimum amount from the actual. Does anybody know if I can capture the background color of the Excel cell from Access?
Thanks in advance
