how to transport excel into access docs

RE: acces 2003

Hi Jasmine

Thanks for your question

I am assuming that you have a table in an Excel worksheet that you wish to import into access as a table.

First your data in excel must be in the form of an Excel database, namely it must be organised in rows and columns, with each column having a heading on the first row. There must be no completely blank rows.

You then open you access database. Go tio FILE-GET EXTERNAl DATA_IMPORT.
On the resulting file open dialog box, change the file type to micrsoft excel and navigate to the appropriate file. Click OK and then the wizard will guide you through the remaining steps

Hope this is useful. Please repost if you need any further assistance

Regards

Stephen

Access tip:

Splittng a database

Split your database into two (at least).

Keep all of your code, forms, reports, etc. in one 'code' database and all of your tables in another 'data' database which is then linked to the 'code' database.

This makes modifications, updates and back-ups that much easier and allows you to work on a new version of your 'code' database without affecting existing users. It also makes it easier should you wish to convert a single user databases into a multi-user networked version.
