Fabulous timing, Richard! I've used your excellent teaching videos to teach myself how to create a Budget db for my own personal use which imports csv files where I then add categories and subcategies for spend.

13:00 😂 Its early AM in the UK but watching this, it seems counter intuitive that you're pulling records from your CustomerTempT form in to your CustomerT form, but when you look at the Query it says "Update To" field is CustomerTempT.

Maybe I need a coffee and have a rewatch, is it just me, is it too early? Lol

Anything great teaching video!!! Thank you.

How do you automate the import with multiple tabs, and different tables?

[gautamshiyani]

I have One Trouble. Im Using a Software which uses CSV File for Data Import and use Access. But CSV File Sometimes Contains Wrong Data so I Have to Change it Many Times In CSV. Particular State name. I want use State name for Every Entry Same. Even if the csv have Other name State or Blank in State Column. I tried many Things But Didnt Find Anyting. And also i cant use Query and Another Thing because i use access from another Software. So theres just one way to change data when importing. is there any way?

Thanks Richard! Would it be possible to show how to choose a specific file to import by using FileDialog? Goal is to completely replace the data in a table periodically by just importing a new file.

Should it be acLink, not acImport? I think acImport overwrites a table??
