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:

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.
