Excel data import

Does anyone has guidelines how to import excel file into database? Supose, column names in database and in excel are identical.

Sincerely,
Marko

Get an activex excel object.
Use it to get data from your excel files.
Insert the data in your database.

This will only work on Windows of course.

So there is no way to import data platform independent?

Sure there is, save your excel files in a standard xml or csv file for example
