    Smile General Access Question

    I am looking to create a database for my company so I don't have to keep all my files in excel spread sheets. I'm wondering if there is a way to upload all my files that share some of the same information (ex.- contact information).



    Instead of entering changes into 10 different spread sheets, can I enter it into one form (spread sheet) and have Access disperse the information to the 9 other forms? If not, are there any software programs I can use to make this easier and less time consuming?

    I learned Access by converting 7 Excel spreadsheets into 1 Access program. It took a few months and I had an RDBMS background and experience in QuickBasic. When done, we tossed out all of the spreadsheets. I know of no existing program that would fill your needs but almost certainly Access could do what you want but not necessarily with ease.

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