I have the database on MS SQL database that has a table called "phones", which is the one that needs to be updated with the new phone numbers that I receive from clients every week.
Here is how it works:

The different clients send me the data in different file formats, example, XML, CVS, Excel and Text. as well as different column "field" naming.
I have an access database with a table for each client, where i import their files.

Now instead of importing 15 files manually, i was looking into doing it at one click or step for all clients.

I am looking to make this process as automated as possible. I want to create a marco or a VB that would insert all files at the same time, each to it's corresponding table.
Since the naming differs every time the clients send their files, i wanted to run the VB based on a time line. for example, tue to Tuesday or wed to wed.
Can you please direct me on how to go about this, please.....
Thanks

You may want to look at DTS. Details are in Books Online which is the help file that comes with SQL Server

Alright Brain, you don't like me, and I don't like you. But lets just do this, and I can get back to killing you with beer.
