Are you a long-time user of Excel, with data that is growing in complexity or that changes frequently? Are you wasting time trying to remember where you have stored specific information, or are you entering the same information in multiple locations?

The Import Spreadsheet Wizard in Access makes it easy to copy the data from your Excel worksheets into a new or existing Access database.
