Default Setup ?

We'll be importing from Excel into Access. The Name would be the commonality
between them. A new record would show up if they've renewed or added on to
their contract. We want to be able to tag new deals and be able to compare
new events with their older events?

Thank you!!!


Again:

You can see your table and your spreadsheet.
I cannot.

I have no idea what a "contract" or a "deal" or an "event" is, or how they
would be represented in your data, or how you would ascertain that one is new
and another one isn't.

Please post a field description of your Access table and (if it's not the
same) your spreadsheet, with the fieldnames, datatype, and significance, and
how a new whatever can be identified.

Do note that Name is a reserved word and you should not use Name as the Name
of a field; and that people's names are *terrible* linking fields (they're not
unique; I know three men named Fred Brown, right here in little Parma).
