It can be done in either. However I would look at the amount of data you are going to be storing. If the journal records are going to be in the thousands I would go with Access as it is easier to calculate large amounts of data. Neither prospect is easy however. In Excel you will need to get comfortable with the use of formulas and references and probably some VBA and in Access there is also a lot of work involved.

Hi all I need to add data from two Excel sheets (both on the same workbook) to an existing table in my SQL DB. The problem is that each sheet holds different fields for the same record, though the records are sorted by row numbers. (I had to split the fields to different sheets because Excel has a limit of 256 fields in each sheet) My sheets are quite large (~55,000 rows and 200 columns each) and I'll have to repeat this action many...

Has anyone done any testing on what ways are quicker for reading and manipulating excel sheets? I'm currently maintaining some programs that move all the data into multidimensional array objects. I wonder if it would be faster to use oledb instead. Some of the programs need to do row by row validation, others could do processing in sets.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
