export data from excel to MDF

Hi,

I have some newer software which utilizes the SQL Desktop Engine (MSDE) and some older 16-bit application. I want to export the database from the old app to the newer software. If I can export the data from the old app to an excel spreadsheet, can I import that into the MDF file? Is this at all possible? What kind of other software would I need? This is my first experience in this area.

ThanksI haven't worked with MSDE, but do you have bcp?

bcp is the M$ Bulk Copy Program|||edit: it appears that I do have bcp|||bcp server.owner.table IN c:\filename -Sservername -Uuser -Ppaswword -c

Do you have access to books online?

Check out an Enigma post for the link if you don't|||Are more ideas on this? I am not familiar with creating tables and adding data etc. let alone working with bcp.
