    How to Import multiple Excel CSV data files into a database daily without overwriting current data

    Afternoon,


    I am unsure if this is the correct place for this or not. If not I do apologize and will not waste your time;
    I have used access a long time ago and forgotten it.
    I attempted to due what I was looking for in excel but it has limitations on records.
    What I have is csv files being generated automatically 5 times a day. In each file there is approx 3000-5000 records.
    What I am trying to do is compile all this data into 1 database so that it is searchable. I currently have data going back to Nov 2014.
    When we complete a search in the database, for every time it finds the searched item, it produces an output that shows the entire row.
    I have attached two csv files for example.

    Thank you in advance if I receive help and thank you if I don't and this is the incorrect forum.
    Appreciate all.Call_Records.zip

    I'm unclear what the question is. You should be able to append records from each file into the same table, and leave previously imported data alone. Are you not able to?

    I agree with Paul, what is the question? What have you tried?

    Because of the date in the first line and the 3 "header lines", I think you will probably need to use VBA to import the CSV files. And you could import all of the files in a folder.

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