    Hi,

    if you have to import new data out of excel sheets every day you can:
    -create an import button with the button "cmdImport"
    -on clicking the button code can show up a pop up browser so the user can browse for the file that needs to be imported.
    - then import the file into a temp table
    - then launch a series of action queries that puts the new data in the right tables
    - then delete the temp table
    - then show a msgbox like " xxx records updated/imported."
