This tutorial shows the basic Visual Importer ETL import flow: select a delimited file, map the fields, and insert the rows into Access.

What You Will Learn

  • Create an import from a comma-delimited text file.
  • Connect the import to a Microsoft Access target table.
  • Review source-to-target mapping before loading the data.
  • Run the import and check the inserted rows.

Before You Start

Have a sample delimited file and an Access database ready. Work with test data first. Production data has a habit of choosing the worst possible moment to be surprising.
