How do I set up an Access database so every year I can change age.

I am the administrator for our softball registration. Every year I have to
change the age and size information for each returning player. I also have to
assign them to new age groups. I have been doing this in Excel. I am
wondering if i can import the Excel information into Access and have a screen
popup for inputing a players ID # and ask for new age and size info, then let
me assign them to an age group.
Thank you for your help.

You don't! Store their birthdate, not their age. Then you can calculate
their age in queries and reports.

The preferred age formula is...

DateDiff("yyyy",[Birthdate],Date())+(Format([Birthdate],"mmdd")>Format(Date(
),"mmdd"))
