Brand New to Access (1 Viewer)

[Deleted member 134417]

Hey All,
I've been using Excel at work for my data storage and reporting for the last 4 - 5 years. I now find myself in the situation where I have too much data for excel to handle and also would like a way to link my different data sources.
That lead me to find Access!!
Now while I understand a lot of general principles from my Excel knowledge, I am completely new to Access and the way it works.
So expect a lot of very amateurish questions from me as I set out to do what i am currently doing in Excel in a much more efficient way in Access!
I look forward to chatting with all of you and most importantly, your HELP!!
Cheers,
Chookz

Hi Chookz, welcome to AWF.

This is the intro section so I might have to admonish myself for this!

I wrote this thread a few years back:-

http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=671226

Which I think will be useful to you. The thread has a free tool to help bring excel data in to MS Access.


Edit... Corrected typo.

Thanks Uncle Gizmo, this would have saved me many hours of youtube searching!!I've got a good handle on the data normalization side of things now, now it's time to get my head around reports
