Importing Tables

I know this was covered in the course but could you remind me how to imort an existing Exel file into Access?

RE: Importing Tables

Hi Stuart

To import an excel file into Access do the following:

1. Make sure the Excel file is saved in a folder you have access to.

2. Start Microsoft Access and open the database you want to import the Excel information into.

3. Open the File menu, click Get External Data and then click Import.

4. In the Import dialog box, select Microsoft Excel (*.xls) in the Files Of Type option. (This will display only the Microsoft Excel files)

5. Find the desired file and click the Import button.

The Import Spreadsheet Wizard appears and allows you to choose options specific to the file.

Hope this helps

Carlos

Access tip:

How To Find All Overdue Accounts?

To find overdue accounts create a filter that compares today's date with the Invoice Date in the table. To do this:

1. Open the Query in Design View
2. Select the field for the filter and in the criteria row enter:

<Date()

This filter returns records where the Invoice Date is before today's date.

This filter can be manipulated if, for instance, Invoices are due 15 days after the Invoice Date. For this the filter would be:

<Date()-15

This filter returns records where the Invoice Date is 15 days before today's date.
