An error occurred saving import/export specification '' - excel

I am new to MS-Access.
The title is the error I get when I try to import an excel sheet into a new table in Access 2016. Note the single empty quote is part of the error message.
I've tried reinstalling, playing around with import options, importing from a CSV, CSV with different encodings, checked the table in excel for errors or inconsistencies.
I have searched and searched without luck. Help would be appreciated.
ADDENDUM:
The CSV I've tried to import is:
CashAccountID,AccountDescription,BankName,BankAccountNumber
301,Primary Checking Account,MegaBank,9017765453
302,Money Market Account,Wells Gargle,3831157490
303,Payroll Account,MegaBank,9835320050

I've encountered the same error and, from trial and error, it appears the issue is related to the size of the Excel file you're importing from. I've had success by splitting the 70MB Excel file into two 35MB files before doing the same import into Excel.
The error message from MS Access is nonsensical - the problem occurs when we're not using an import/export specification at all (and nor are there any saved in the Access I'm running). I think we can put this failure and erroneous error message down as an MS Access bug.

Receiving Unterminated CSV Quoted Field Error while inserting into Postgres using Copy

I am trying to insert CSV file into Postgres using Copy command at the time I am receiving Unterminated CSV Quoted Field error (out of 100 CSV files I am getting this error for 2-5 files).
I will usually identify the error file then I will open the same using Microsoft Excel and I will simply save without doing anything changes. Then I will try to copy the same file again into Postgres, this time it was working the data get inserted. Can anyone please explain how its possible simply opening and saving the file using Excel will resolve this error?

CSV UTF-8 vs Normal CSV in Excel

we have a CSV file that was creating validation errors in a process we run. The validation error made no sense as the error indicated didn't appear as the file was created exactly as instructed. I've tried several ways to resolve it without success. I eventually tried re-saving the file as CSV via Excel and noticed the file was in CSV UTF-8 format and this apparently resolved the error. I noticed the new file size is 3 bytes less than the old one but the content should be exactly the same. The file is completely in English so I am not sure what was causing this. Can anyone advise why the file size is 3 bytes less when saving as CSV rather than CSV UTF-8 format even though data in the file should be identical? These extra 3 bytes likely have caused the validation error.
Thanks for your help

ColdFusion cfspreadsheet: error occurred while reading the Excel. The supplied POIFSFileSystem does not contain a BIFF8 'Workbook' entry

In ColdFusion 10 Spreadsheet:
I have a daily routine that reads a few Excel files and stores them in a database. I have recently started receiving a file with some macros. The service cannot read the file. If I open and save the file then it will be read.
Anyone knows what is going on here?
Here is my code:
<cfspreadsheet
action="read"
src="PJM Matrix MM 36-Mo 2014-02-28.xlsx"
query="data"
sheet = "2"
rows="1-588"
columnnames="A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L">
Here is the error:
An error occurred while reading the Excel:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
The supplied POIFSFileSystem does not contain a BIFF8 'Workbook' entry.
Is it really an excel file?.
Here is my excel file:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/71626816/PJM%20Matrix%20MM%2036-Mo%202014-02-28.xlsx
This error indicates that the spreadsheet you are trying to upload, belongs to a BIFF version prior to BIFF8. Coldfusion doesn't support reading these files. But when you open and save, the file becomes BIFF8 version and will be able to be processed. Currently there is no fix for this.

POI jars are responsible for reading spreadsheets in CF and they support only BIFF 8 version. Please check response for Q-6 in above url.

Expression Engine - Import Member Data, create XML file Parse Error

I am trying to use the the Utilities > Member Import Utility to create an XML file that I can then use to import member data.
I have about seventy members to import. I was able to work through the mapping with what appeared to be a good match, but when I click the button, I get the following error:
Line does not match structure
I am using a .csv file to bring the data and I have selected comma as the deliminator. I can map the fields but when I click Create XML I get the Parse error.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
Thanks.
I found the answer. I appears to automatically understand that it is relative. When I simply put the name of the file in it went in with error.
So the correct path is: customer.txt
However, because the username is a number and not alpha numeric it cannot be imported.
