    Convert a xlsm to access

    Hi All,

    I've never used Access before so a complete noob.

    I have an excel workbook with loads of VBA/macros within it. The workbook has approx. 10 sheets.
    Currently we use the workbook via Teams so that multiple users can use it at the same time.
    I want to make the workbook more stable due to the amount of usage it gets.
    Do anyone know how I can take this workbook in its current state and transfer it over to Access.
    The workbook took me approx 6 months to build so ideally would not like to start again on the Access platform.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Re: Convert a xlsm to access

    I think you might be able to import individual tables into Access and recreate their relationships, but I very much doubt there'll be a way to do it wholesale. I also doubt that any Excel VBA will port across. I think you'll be looking at a significant job whatever happens - I'd be prepared for that, if I were you.
