Question Hi there,
I am currently in the process of trying to import my SPSS database into MS Access. The only way I have discovered how to do this so far is to convert the SPSS file into Excel and then import that into Access. This has worked fine, however, i loose my label/ descriptions (eg. survey questions) that to the variables/ field names in the process. When I go into the design view it doesnt seem I can simply select the description column and past this in, and that I need to do it one by one. I have hundreds of variables and was hoping there might be a quicker way than this.
Any advice would be most appreciated,
Sincerely
Tammy
Answer I'm not quite following. If you export to Excel, Access should import whatever values are in the spreadsheet. So do you lose them upon import or export. And what do you mean by lose? What shows in the column?
Hope this helps,
