Where do I start to build a database?

[V455764]

Hello

I am a complete newcomer to access and databases.

I have 2 folders on my desktop that have about 2900 (It grows every day) .csv files that I would like to get into a database.

I have an idea how I want the finished article to look/work and very basic understanding of how access and excel work. I mention excel here as a lot of fields I need are calculated from the data I have (lots of counts, percentages and ranking info) that will need to be analysed.



I can provide a copy of one of the files if this helps.

Thanks

I would start by Googling for MS Access Templates. You will probably find one that will work for you and save a *bunch* of time.

Save raw data, do calcs in queries and reports.
