    adding new excel data of the same type on a regular basis to one table

    PROBLEM SOLVED! well mostly, apparently you can't have two source tables in the little holding area (in append query design view) even if just one of them is selected below, because access will decide to use the data from the selected table but multiply the number of records produced by the...

    adding new excel data of the same type on a regular basis to one table

    I am extremely new to access, I have an internship with a large company and they thought I should work on their lab results database since they couldn't find anything else for me to do.
