I'm looking for some feedback with regard to taking some data from an Excel
Workbook we use to track info on and loading it into Access AS QUICKLY AS
possible. Once it's in Access I can do the rest, but I am sort of new at the
best method to automate the movement from Excel to Access. I kind of know
DAO and haven't used ADO - is ADO any faster with what I'm doing below.

I'm wanting to start a dialog and looking for resources. Anyones help
and/or suggestions will be great.
