How to transfer a set of data from Excel spread sheet to an Access database

Question

hi,
Can any one please tell me how to transfer a set of data from Excel spread sheet to an Access database using SQL query.I'm using java API currently. I have done all sorts of ODBC connection in administrative tools.The file is in correct location. I have done certain coding but with errors.Help me to get rid of these errors,
Coding:*
try
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection datacon=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:exdata","",""); *//For Excel driver*
Connection datacon1=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:stock1","",""); *// For mdb driver*
Statement datast=datacon.createStatement();
Statement datast1=datacon1.createStatement();
ResultSet excelrs=datast.executeQuery("select item_code,sdata,closing_stock from phy "); *//phy is the excel file*
while(excelrs.next())
String ic=excelrs.getString("item_code");
System.out.println(ic);
String d=excelrs.getString("sdate");
double cs=excelrs.getDouble("closing_stock");
int dbrs=datast1.executeUpdate("insert into second values('"+ic+"','"+d+"',"+cs+")"); *//second is the mdb*
excelrs.close();
}catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(e);
Error:*
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'C:\JavaGreen\phy.xls'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.
thanks,
kumar.

No i haven't mixed up.But the file from where i have to retrieve the data is in csv format.Even though i created another csv driver.and tried but i cud not find a solution to load/transfer a set of records from one file(in Excel/csv format) to another file(in mdb format).plz help me.Is there any other methods for this data transfer.A csv file is NOT an excel file.
The fact that Excel can import a csv file doesn't make it an excel file.
If you have a csv file then you must use a csv driver or just use other code (not jdbc) to access it. There is, normally, a ODBC (nothing to do with java) text driver that can do that.
