Posted February 5Feb 5 i have my record collection on an access database. label, artist, writers, dates, etc etc. I've had to replace my P.C and didn't realise the Windows licences bundle ( i purchased) didn't have an Access license. I know i could buy a stand-alone Access licence or get 365...but wondered if anyone had any legal work-around solution/advice? TIA ken

February 5Feb 5 According to the internet importing from access into XL is relatively simple. There are instructions and tutorials including videos.
