Add a new record to XLS file then inport to form

Post by jaycee6828 »

If I add a new column to my XLS file which I am using to fill a form, how do I then import it to the form?

Sorry but I am a rank beginner but slowly getting to grips with Base.

Base connections to spreadsheets are good enough for mail merge but you can not work with a spreadsheet as if it were a database. Of all choices spreadsheets are the worst choice.
By the way: Databases never grow horizontally. All database tables grow by rows.
