How to transfer information on a number of excel spreadsheets into an exsiting access database when the database is listed in employee order

RE: Access

Hi Arabella,
Thank you for your post, in answer to your question, I would follow the Get External Data operation; This allows you to Import or to Link your Excel spreadsheets into your database, so long as your Excel spreadsheet matches the Access table (All fields including ID field) you should be able to import to an existing table, if not you might have to import the spreadsheet to a new separate table, manipulate your data until it matches the Access table and then append the new data to the existing table. I hope that has helped, best regards Pete

Access tip:

Deleting duplicate records from a table

You cannot delete records tables where there duplicate records. A way around this is to create a new table which wont hold the duplicates. and then deleting the old table.

1. Use a make-table query based on this table only. IMPORTANT - Ensure that you include all of the fields from your original table or you may loose data.

2. Open the query's property sheet by using VIEW, QUERY, PROPERTIES, and set the Unique Values property to Yes

3. Because you have selected the Unique Values to Yes when you run the query, Access creates a new table without duplicate records. You can now delete the old table and rename the new one.
