    did the import work?
    menu, external data, import and link EXCEL
    ?

    then once the 2 tables are in you compare in a query , and then join the common field.

    I used ImportExportSpreadsheet to import as tables with headings, from excel. I think thats the problem I am having, I am try to do with one query. So should I be doing a compare query then a join query?

    once both tables are in the db,
    your query will compare by joining the common field.
    you would need 2 outer join queries.
