    Import and update an access table from multiple excel lists

    Hey everyone,

    I have a question and I just can't get the solution I'm lookin for:

    For a online game I would like to keep some records of a group of about 250 players.
    For example within the game we have commanders and I would like to keep track of those in an access database.

    What do I want the database to do:
    - I will receive excel lists as in the attachment filled in with data. This file is setup so all fields are exported the way they should in Access. If possible I would like to have this process automated for example by having the database look for files in a specific folder and delete the file after import or something(if possible)
    - I would like to easily be able to import these in an access database
    - Every update it should check for previous records and update the values if needed

    Can some one help me with this. If more info is needed please let me know.

    yes you can. vba has function do this.

    - I would like to easily be able to import these in an access database

    access can import almost anything. from web even. html files. many other types. excel is easiest.

    - Every update it should check for previous records and update the values if needed

    you can use queries and code inside access do this
