    Data analysis issue

    Looking at this..... It looks like you need a group by query. To show the data in the report, link the report to the query and then use the report functionality to show the totals.

    Can Grow Property

    Report not printing properly

    Welcome. Try reducing the size of the field on the detail part of the report and set the CAN GROW attribute to YES. This will then grow and shrink with the Text. Also, try setting the Keep Together to Yes.

    Open Macro in Design Mode

    Why don't you do this in VBA and get the user to select the file that is to be brought in. This way the Macro will not have to be changed. Also, this is more user friendly than having to change a macro and then typing the file name incorrectly.

    Advice Needed

    I have done this before and the best way that I have found was to import the spreadsheet into a temporary table and then update / append the information. You may also want to think about a delete function too as the client may wish to remove current records (unless history is required).
