"The Data Veg-A-Matic" by M. L. "Sco" Scofield
A common situation that Access developers encounter is having to import data from other sources like old databases, spread sheets, text files, etc. The problem is that the data is never in the format that you need for your database tables. Sco will show some techniques to "slice and dice" the imported data into bits and pieces so that it can be moved into your database's tables. See how functions and update queries can be used to "fix" the data.
