I have created my database - I now need to upload data from my old database.
I have the old data in an excel spreadsheet and have edited the data so that it matches the coloums in the new database.
I have one problem,
I can upload all the person data into the person table
and I can upload all the organisation data in the organisation table
(I'm assuming I just copy and paste it into the tables in the new database.)
BUT and this is a big BUT.. the employment table is the linking table where you select an organisation from the drop downlist and you select a person from the person dropdown list, you add other details about emplyment and save the record.
Does this mean I will have to do this manually, i.e create all the links manually??
And is my cut and paste method above corect??
Thanks is advance
Edit: I have attached the database to help you understand
