VBA import all files in folder to Access - excel

Question

the goal is to import all excel files in one folder to seperate sheets in access. I found this script and didnt know where to ask instead
Dim blnHasFieldNames as Boolean
Dim strWorksheet As String, strTable As String
Dim strPath As String, strPathFile As String
' Change this next line to True if the first row in EXCEL worksheet
' has field names
blnHasFieldNames = False
' Replace C:\Documents\ with the real path to the folder that
' contains the EXCEL files
strPath = "C:\Documents\"
' Replace worksheetname with the real name of the worksheet that is to be
' imported from each file
strWorksheet = "worksheetname"
' Import the data from each workbook file in the folder
strFile = Dir(strPath & "*.xls")
Do While Len(strFile) > 0
strPathFile = strPath & strFile
strTable = "tbl_" & Left(strFile, InStrRev(strFile, ".xls") - 1)
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, _
acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, strTable, strPathFile, _
blnHasFieldNames, strWorksheet & "$"
' Uncomment out the next code step if you want to delete the
' EXCEL file after it's been imported
' Kill strPathFile
strFile = Dir()
Loop

I dont get how to use the code(turn it into a macro?) also is it possible to grab the 3rd row eg and take it as header ? Do you know where I can finde information about it ?
Thanks

You could export data from Excel to Access, and start on a specific row.
Sub ADOFromExcelToAccess()
' exports data from the active worksheet to a table in an Access database
' this procedure must be edited before use
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection, rs As ADODB.Recordset, r As Long
' connect to the Access database
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; " & _
"Data Source=C:\FolderName\DataBaseName.mdb;"
' open a recordset
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.Open "TableName", cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable
' all records in a table
r = 3 ' the start row in the worksheet
Do While Len(Range("A" & r).Formula) > 0
' repeat until first empty cell in column A
With rs
.AddNew ' create a new record
' add values to each field in the record
.Fields("FieldName1") = Range("A" & r).Value
.Fields("FieldName2") = Range("B" & r).Value
.Fields("FieldNameN") = Range("C" & r).Value
' add more fields if necessary...
.Update ' stores the new record
End With
r = r + 1 ' next row
Loop
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
cn.Close
Set cn = Nothing
End Sub
Or, import everything like you are doing now, and run a small delete query on the table after doing the import.
Something like...Delete * from Table Where Field1 is "", or whatever.
The next effect is exactly the same.
