What is the Plan?

The first goal is to import the new movie titles into the movie Table with an Append Query. The archive strategy has several steps as well.

 

Import New Records into Access

Import a spreadsheet into Access

Append the new Records to tblMovies.

 

Revise the Table: tblMovieTitles

Add new Fields: Archived, Status, Memo.

Add the Fields to the Movies Form.

 

Create a Update Query: ArchiveMovieUQ

Add tblMovies as the Record Source.

UPDATE the Archive Field to Yes.

 

Run a Make Table Query: ArchiveMovieMT

Save the UPDATE Query as a MAKE TABLE.

Create a new Table: tblArchiveMovies.

 

Use Action Queries to Test the Data

Create an UNMATCHED Query.

Create a FIND DUPLICATES Query.

Create a DELETE Query.

That's a good plan.
