 Microsoft Access Tip

MS Access is a wonderful way to store and manage your data.  However there may be times when you need to analyze or manipulate the data in ways that Access cannot.  In these instances, you can use Excel instead.  Microsoft Office makes exporting and importing data between Access and Excel easy. 

To export an Access table or query to an Excel spreadsheet:

1. Highlight the name of the Table or Query that you want to send to Excel (do not have the Table or Query opened)
2. Click on Tools
3. Click on Office Links
4. Double click on Analyze with MS Excel

Excel will automatically open up and display your data in spreadsheet form.

To import an Excel spreadsheet into Access:
Open the Access database

1. Click on File. Select Get External Data, Click on Import...
2. An 'Import' window with a 'Look In' box will open.  At the bottom of the window, change the Files of Type to Microsoft Excel (the default is Microsoft Access).  Locate your excel file using the 'Look In' box.  After locating the file, click on the button, Import 
3. An 'Import Spreadsheet Wizard' will open.  Follow the wizard's prompts by clicking Next.

The table will be added to the database
