    Adding data from linked table to existing table???

    I have a database with a table called "Services". I manually enter in each client's services in this table each month; however, I can download an Excel report that lists all of the client's services each month. I exported the Excel table into my Access database and then linked the "Services" table with the new Excel table via a common field, BUT I can't get the data from the imported Excel table to transfer into my old Services table.



    P.S. I just want to add services each month to the growing list of services each client already has in the "Services" table; I don't want to replace what is currently there.

    Have you tried an Append Query?

    Take a look at Action and Append queries in Access's built-in help files.

    You can also find lots of tutorials on it if you Google "Access Append Query tutorial".

    Give it a shot, and post back if you get stuck.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
