Microsoft Access – A Quick Video Tour of my DVD, The 50 Best Tips for Access 2007

Microsoft Access and Microsoft Excel work together seamlessly. However, they are VERY DIFFERENT programs. It is very easy to exchange data between the two programs. But there is a world of difference when in it comes to storing, entering, and analyzing data in each program.

Recently, a number of my viewers have asked me how to create Data Forms in Excel. In almost every case, they want a simple answer – one that does not require them to learn VBA – Visual Basic for Applications. My considered response is that Access is the best way to collect and relate data via Forms. And then, use Excel to analyze the information that you collect from those data forms.

Here is a short – 6 1/2 minutes –  video tour of my DVD-ROM, “The 50 Best Tips for Access 2007.” If you have never used Microsoft Access, this video will give you an idea of how it works. If you have tried to use Access, but gave up in frustration, I am confident that my video tutorials will help you to get over the learning curve so that you can use Access to its full potential!

Nine Categories of  Video Tutorials for Access 2007

On my DVD-ROM, I have organized the 50 Video Tips into nine categories of lessons:

  1. Getting Started with Access 2007 – 9 Videos. Perfect introduction for new users of Access as well as a quick guide the the changes and additions in Access 2007 and Access 2010.
  2. Working with Tables in Access 2007 – 5 Videos. Tables are the essential building blocks in Access. Learn how to create many focused Tables and then create relationships between them.
  3. Using Filters & Queries in Access 2007 – 8 Videos. Filters are “temporary” or one-time questions. Queries are “saved” or “named” questions about the information in your database.
  4. Running Action Queries in Access  2007 – 4 Videos. Action queries allow you to quickly make changes to the data in Access. You can update, or delete records; append records or make a new table from a query.
  5. Working with Access 2007 Forms – 9 Videos. Forms are very easy to create in Excel. Use forms to enter data or to view your data – one record at a time. Gather data via Forms in Access and then export this data to analyze in Excel.
  6. Working with External Data in Access 2007 – 4 Videos. Did you know that you can use Access to semi-automatically update your Microsoft Outlook contact information? Learn how to integrate the programs in the MS Office Suite.

How to Import Excel Data Into Access

This is the first in a series of lessons where I demonstrate how to integrate Excel data with an Access database. In this lesson you will learn how to:

  • Access Working with External Data

    Work with External Data

  • Import an Excel worksheet as a new Table in Access.
  • Append an Excel worksheet to the Table that we created with the Imported data.
  • Create a link between the Source Excel worksheet and an Access Table.
  • Refresh the link between Excel and Access.

First, on the Excel side of this process, make sure that you have clearly identified the Field Headers in the Top Row of your data set. If you have and cells that contain Formulas, convert the formulas to Cell Values.

Begin the Import Process

You initiate the Importing from inside Access. Go to the External Data tab on the Ribbon (in Access 2007) and choose Excel. Follow the steps in the Import Wizard. I recommend that you allow Access to create a Primary Key for the new table. This will allow you to set up “table relationships”  inside Access.

Append Excel Data to an Existing Access Table

Once you have at least one Access Table set up, you have another option when you Import Excel data – you can “Append” Excel data to the Access Table. Be sure that your “field headers” match each other. Once again, follow the steps in the Import Excel data Wizard.

Notice that with each of these Import Wizards you are given the option to save your Import definition. If you will be importing data from the same Excel source on a regular basis, this “Saved Definition” will save you a lot of time.

Link to Source Data

You can decide to establish a “link” to the source data – in this case an Excel worksheet. If you do, you will see a special “icon” next to your Access table that indicates that the table is linked to an Excel source. In this case, you can not make any changes to the tabel from inside Access. You make all changes – adding, editing and deleting records – from inside Excel.

With a link to the source data, remember to “refresh” the link to see the updated information.
