Import data

How do i import data from other Access databases into a new table? At the moment when i do it it creates a new table rather than copying it into the one i want.

I am aiming to get data from numerous Access databases/tables into one new table...

RE: Import data

Hi Lu

I would suggest running an append query from your several source database(s) and appending the tables of interest to the destination database

Hope this helps


RE: Import data

Hi

thanks for your suggestion, however i don't know how to run an append query!

RE: Import data

Hi Lu,

On your Access Introduction course, you were introduced to Queries. These were examples of what are termed Select Queries. However, within the Query design view, Append Query can be selected from the Query menu option.

I would suggest attending the lintermediate course to learn about other query types. See link below

I have also provided an MS office resource that discusses the topic further.

Access tip:

Choosing data types in Access

Not sure which data type to use for your Access fields? Here are some guidelines to help you choose a data type to assign to a field.

- The Text data type can accept up to 255 characters. For information that will be recorded in paragraphs, use Memo.

- Also use Text for numbers that aren't going to be used in calculations, e.g. phone numbers.

- Use the Currency data type for monetary amounts.

- Use Date/Time for dates.

- Most other numbers can use the Number data type, but the Field Size property may have to be altered.

- For fields that have only two alternatives (yes, no) use Yes/No data type. If there is likely to be a third entry option (e.g. maybe or don't know) use Text instead.
