Hi Kenn,
If you create a new base file, you can copy data from a spreadsheet and paste it directly into a new or existing table in it. You'll have to enter the field names in row one if you don't already have a header in your spreadsheet. I've done it only one or twice, so I'm not sure of the exact steps, but it seemed straightforward at the time.

Seems plausible.
I can't seem to find what in Excel would be called "data-sheet view",
or any way to just have a big empty table into which I can paste things.

I wound up creating a table equivalent to one of my spreadsheets,
with the same number of columns and datatypes (plus the key).
I then clicked it open, and got a table with one empty row;
maybe that's the "data-sheet view" I was looking for.  Anyway ...
I selected the 8 rows and 8 columns from my spreadsheet, copied them,
then pasted them into the new table.
It wound up putting *all* the data into the first column of the first row.
