    Can't import from Access to ACT!

    Hi Micahel, I wasn't sure what "post an email" meant. Do I email you directly? Anyway, we do need to keep Access for our sales data. That is where every ad from our paper is entered ( nd has been done for 9 years). The actual sales info can't come from the reps. I just need to have...

    divide one record (amount) into several

    Thanks for the quick reply. I have the first query finished. I am confused about the table config. It should have name, date, twentyfive_int and twnetyfive_rest fields, right?

    divide one record (amount) into several

    I am trying to create a query that takes a customers delivery amount and break it into several records (labels) for a store.
