Importing .csv in access (new rows only)

[powerlock2005]

All,
I export a .csv file from a MySQL database each week. I would like to import the .csv file/spreadsheet into access, BUT only the newer rows, not the entire spreadsheet.

Or

If I import the spreadsheet, is there a way to just overwrite all the data that is already there?

Please help....any help will be much appreciated!!!!

Thanks in advance,

You will have to import to an empty table first and run an update query to update the existing table with 'newer' values.
How do you identify 'newer' values anyway?

Why not simply export only the newer records ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

All,
I solved the problem by just having a link to the .csv file. That was too simple.

Thanks to all for responding.
