Can only the new data entered be appended to the table in access
ie if i update the table in the morning and import 10 records
when i next update the table i want to import only the new data

any help would be welcome

An easy non-code solution is to create a linked table to the spreadsheet,
then base a query on the two tables which only displays the records in the
spreadsheet which do not have a matching entry in your local table. The
append query takes only these records.

Like Justin said, you could link your Excel table (File, get external
data, link tables...) and then use the find unmatched query wizard.
Once you've done that, you could turn your query into an append query.
if you wanted to go really nuts, you could write a macro that shut the
warnings off (Set Warnings=False) , ran the query (DoCmd.OpenQuer y
"qappNewRecords "), and then turned the warnings back on.

When I attempt to run an action query against the linked table I get this error: Deleting data in a linked table is not supported by this ISAM. From what I understand, indexed sequential access method (ISAM) drivers are used to update "non-Microsoft" file formats. So why doesn't Access

Hello, I have a table that I am appending 3 seperate tables into. My main problem is that each time I append the data, it simply adds to the data already there. That might sound ok, except that if I append the data 3 times in succession, it copies the same data over 3x. Now I have copies in triplicate. It used to only transfer records that weren't already there, but not anymore. If I can't get the append to append correctly, I was...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
