Many financial systems export the data as spreadsheets which you can import into Access. Sometimes, the data is exported as a text file.

 

The Wizard that imports Text files is similar to the one used to import spreadsheets from Microsoft Excel.

 

Data is stored in tables: rows and columns. When the data is converted into text, the columns can be separated by different symbols.

 

A CSV, Comma Separated Value, file is a text file that uses commas to show where the columns are. Other systems use tabs or spaces for the columns.
