    Newbie data entry question.

    I am familiar with RDB in general, but not with the specifics of Access data entry. I have created a simple database from an Excel spreadsheet that tracks my investments. The spreadsheet contained 3 columns, stock name, date and value.There was about a year's worth of data making some 4500...
