Is this a one time import or ongoing?
Just in the example you provided I can see at least 4 tables. More depending on what etc is.
People
Positions
Stores
Training

Work with a back up COPY.
Get your tables pretty solid first using test data.
If you need to, go back through the courses you have. Beginner series covers planning your db. Brush up on relationships and be very comfortable with them. Check out Many-to-Many

Tons of resources on the site for importing data from Excel. Generally I recommend importing to a temporary table and then using action queries to move the data into your own tables.

Imported Value on form Upload Images Link

I used the formula =[formname].[form]![fieldvalue] to import a value from a form to the form I am currently creating. Can I use the imported value in a computation on the form I am creating? If so, how?

I created a pymt search form using the customer firstname and lastname. The issue I am having is when I put in any of the customers names it brings up one customer which is "Lea Willis". Not sure why its not working. When I run it using the query design and I enter the parameters it brings up each individual customer. I have screen shots.

On your run query button what is the code? did you reset the boxes to = ""
re-query after you update? also close the form and retry.

Run query i used the wizard. I did = it gave me the same results bringing up one customer no matter the name inputted

So when the form isn't open and you open the query and manually enter the names, it opens up more people? When the form is open, no matter who you put in you get Lea?

In the query it opens up the specific customer i entering the parameter and all of their payments

So it does work correctly if you just open the query up from the navigation pane without the form open? It only has problems when the form is open?

Yes

Well i just saw when I'm inside the query design it asks for the parameters but when i just click to open the query from the navigation pane it pulls up all the customers

Is the query closed each time you run it with the "Open Query" button? If not you may need to add a CloseWindow command to the Embedded Macro behind the button.

Yes It's closed
