    Compare Tables Updated through Excel

    I'm working an access database for my organization; we are switching from excel to access. One of the tables that I am working tracks employees/supervisors/jobs ect. This table is currently updated through an excel spreadsheet (this is updated by an HR office) and we load this spreadsheet to the access database daily. My boss would like to see a way to easily identify which fields have been updated so that we don't have to dig through each spreadsheet (old and new) each time. Is there an easy way to do this through access, or are there any good resources that might help point me in the right direction?

    Since I'm not familiar with your data, can't be sure, but a Find Unmatched query might help. Use the query wizard to help build.
