Importing data

Hi,

Please can you tell me is it possible to import information from an Access 2000 database into Access 2007 and if so how?

Thank you

Sarah

RE: Importing data

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

This should be possible. Go to the External Data tab on the ribbon and click the Access button on the Import group.

Click Browse and select the database you want to import the data from and then select which object you want imported.

Then click Finish on the Wizard.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Access tip:

Choosing data types in Access

Not sure which data type to use for your Access fields? Here are some guidelines to help you choose a data type to assign to a field.

- The Text data type can accept up to 255 characters. For information that will be recorded in paragraphs, use Memo.

- Also use Text for numbers that aren't going to be used in calculations, e.g. phone numbers.

- Use the Currency data type for monetary amounts.

- Use Date/Time for dates.

- Most other numbers can use the Number data type, but the Field Size property may have to be altered.

- For fields that have only two alternatives (yes, no) use Yes/No data type. If there is likely to be a third entry option (e.g. maybe or don't know) use Text instead.
