You'd run a non-matching query to find the new items and then an appead query to add them to the monthly table. Depending on what needs to be updated you may need quite a few queries but its easy work. You might add a couple of columns to the monthly file. For instances a "Date Added" column. It would be updated with the date if an append query was run to let you know it wasn't originally part of the monthly file. Same kind of idea for updates. You would want to tell yourself the date it was updated and maybe the file it came from.
There wouldn't be any need for a form since the daily file already comes with all the changes you are just comparing them to the monthly file and asking Access to make the updates and additions.
