    import from excel into access to update access, adding or subtracting

    I have an as yet, very simple database consisting one table of all items of stock. I have CSV files, jobs, which contain a subset of those items, periodically, to replenish stock a CSV file is generated again a subset of the items of stock. I want to know what direction my thinking needs to be so that I can subtract or add item by item CSV file contents from/to the database of all items. Basically put or take a list into or out of stock items.
    HELP!!!
    Please Tynus

    You could link your csv file to your database and use it as your record source, so long as the data in your csv is in a normalized state. In this manner, any changes to the csv will be automatically seen in the database and any queries or reports you generate will always be up to date.
