    Data Entry Into Tables

    Hi Forum,

    Is there a easy way to edit existing data from tables. I know it's bad practice to edit Data from Tables, but can it be as easy as excel where I can copy and paste things into it. The only way I can think of is Importing and Exporting excel data and using a query to match thing uniqueID.



    Is there any other way?

    Thanks!

    Don't really understand issue. It certainly is easy to edit data directly in table. And yes, can copy/paste. But I don't recommend allowing users to do it.
