Importing Data into Tables
You can create new tables from other Access databases by importing and linking tables. When you import a table, you copy data from a table in one Access database and place it in a new table in your database. You can also import data from other programs. After you select the table you want to import during the import process, you have the option of saving the import steps for use again in the future.
