Appending data imported

If I am importing Data from Excel can I add an additional field to create Flags to identify different types of customers for example VIPs or Emailable. Yes/No

RE: Appending data imported

Hello Louise

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

Presumably the data imported from Excel is stored in a table, in which case you can add fields and specify their settings using Table Design view.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
Amanda

Access tip:

Deleting duplicate records from a table

You cannot delete records tables where there duplicate records. A way around this is to create a new table which wont hold the duplicates. and then deleting the old table.

1. Use a make-table query based on this table only. IMPORTANT - Ensure that you include all of the fields from your original table or you may loose data.

2. Open the query's property sheet by using VIEW, QUERY, PROPERTIES, and set the Unique Values property to Yes

3. Because you have selected the Unique Values to Yes when you run the query, Access creates a new table without duplicate records. You can now delete the old table and rename the new one.
