Question : How do I avoid a runtime error 3011 when using DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet ?

I am developing an Access application using Access as the front end and SQL Server as the back end database.

I perform a DoCmd.Transferspreadsheet command and the result is as follows:

err.number = 3011
err.Description Error importing file! Error Description- The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'USREI$A2:AA6000'. Make sure the object exists and that you spelled its name and path name correctly.

Do you know how I can troubleshoot this error or a possible solution ?
This routine works fine for other XLS files that I execute.
The XLS file contains field names in Row 1.
The xlRange is: USREI!A2:AA6000

My code is in the "Attach Code Snippet" section:

             First a routine to get the file name from a dialog box:
 
Private Sub cmdBrowse_Click()
On Error Resume Next
fileName = ""
commonDlg.Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*"
commonDlg.ShowOpen
fileName = commonDlg.fileName
If fileName = "" Then
    txtFileName.Value = "No file was selected"
Else
    txtFileName.Value = fileName
End If
End Sub
 
Then I have a subroutine that performs the following statement:
importFile ztblName, fileName, xlRange, fundTypeId
 
 
Public Sub importFile(ztblName As String, fileName As String, xlRange As String, fundTypeId As Integer)
On Error GoTo errFunct
 
'empty tables temp and source
Dim ssql As String
 
 ssql = "delete from " & ztblName & "_Temp"
 dBoperations ssql
 ssql = "delete  from " & ztblName
 dBoperations ssql
 DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, ztblName & "_Temp", fileName, False, xlRange
 
 'update import info
 ssql = "update ztbl_Fund_ImportInfo set dtImported='" & Now() & "', usrImported='" & ap_GetUserName & "' where fundtypeid='" & fundTypeId & "'"
 dBoperations ssql
errFunct:
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
        MsgBox ("Error importing file! Error Description- " & Err.Description)
        Err.Clear
        DoCmd.Hourglass False
    End If
End Sub

Answer : How do I avoid a runtime error 3011 when using DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet ?

What happended was the worksheet tab was named with a trailing space. For example, the worksheet tab to the naked eye appeared as "USREI". In reality someone named it as "USREI ". When I renamed the worksheet as "USREI" by removing the trailing space, the error went away. Thanks for following up and your helpful suggestions. Like you stated, without the worksheet, you couldn't troubleshoot the problem directly.
