You could use Open Client Adaptor - which is on the forms 6i cd. This allows you to use ODBC like a normal connection.

You can see an upload example here :-

Alternatively, you could use DDE or OLE to 'drive' Access. There is also a script for extracting data from excel/access files in the scripts download section, under windows.

The ODBC/OCA example is here :-
http://www.geocities.com/oranails/tools/data_import.htm

You can find an ole example by doing a search on this site under the forms forum for 'FORMS OLE TRANSFERT'.

Here is a thread that includes DDE samples :-

I never understood DDE well enough to use it. I have used OLE from Windows Scripting Host, but not from Forms 6i. Unfortunately, you need to learn the 'object model' associated with the ole object you are using - in this case MS Access. I dont have Access, so I cant offer any sample code. You should be able to get documentation and samples from microsoft developers network - I think its under 'office'.

Did you manage to get item number 1 from here? :-

Hope this helps.
