import using matching fields

I have a student names database created by the PTA on FM. We wish to import just the student's house from an administration file created by the office staff in Excel.On import mapping dialog I match 1st Name and Last Name and only import house field. Of 800 records only one house is imported to one name. I'm guessing there is a critical difference in the fact the names were typed by 2 different organizations but how did just one get through.

I would suggest creating a table that just stores the imported data. Then you can match it to your main database or import it again to the main database.

In other words, you create a file that imports all your data from the excel file to the database, and then do an import with update from this new data file to your main database.
