Consolidation DB

Hi experts

Introduction

My team uses an Input tracker to track Helpdesk requests and Reception calls, everyone has their own tracker which gets updates every minute of so with new entries

All these input trackers are located in a common folder in common file server

On an average every person tracks close to 100 requests/calls in his tracker everyday

Requirement

Is it possible to capture data from all these trackers on a periodic basis (say at click of a button) so that it can be displayed in a consolidated format in MS Access ?

That way I can get a consolidated overview of all the requests and calls handled by all my technicians without having to go into each person’s tracker separately

I am afraid I am a total novice in MS access and have no clue on how to go about it

I have enclosed 2 samples 1) sample of the input tracker used by technicians 2) an sample example of how I need the data consolidated in MS Access

Any help would be much appreciated

If you convert the database to Access 2003 I can help you, I do not have Access 2007, I also do not have Excel 2007 to look at the data.

Thankyou OBP

Can you post a Zipped copy of the database in Access 2003 format and a copy of a couple of the Excel workbooks/sheets?
