I have Win7 SP1.

I have a 1TB HDD now full of downloaded TV movies.

There are over 250 movies.

I want to make a list of these for my movie database and this will
involve importing the titles into Access2010.

How do I convert the titles in the right side of Windows Explorer into
a text list that can be imported into Access?

I use this program which works nice and you do not have to remember any
coding

Interesting. As a recently retired Management Accountant why on earth
would you import Bank Statements into ACCESS?

Presumably because it's the best tool for whatever he wants to do.
Nothing wrong with Access. More folk should use it instead of
always trying to do everything in Excel or other spreadsheets
(spreadsheets are perfectly designed for almost nothing, are hard
to use and prone to errors which are hard to trace.)

Spreadsheets are intended to be used for various types of mathematical
calculations in real time, such as working out a financial plan with
future estimations of profit/loss, etc. Been there, done that with
Visicalc of many years ago. And a gazillion other types of math issues
I don't begin to know how to do.

But, I think the average user finds it easier to grasp using a
spreadsheet than a high end database like Access. And since the
majority of users don't purchase Office Pro, Enterprise, whatever, they
have no clue what Access or a database is, nor what it can do for the user.

Factor in that it's hard to find a simple to use database anymore,
especially when you can't go to a place like Best Buy, any of the big
box office supply places, and pick up a software box that is a database,
and be able to say "What's this?"

I take your point about having to buy Office pro to get Access.,
but there is always Open Office which includes Base and is free
of course.
In my experience, many ordinary folk cannot grasp how spreadsheets
work (as soon as you start talking B3, C5 etc, their eyes glaze over)
but can understand the basics of a database. After all, everyone
who has a mobile phone <spit> is already used to using a simple one.
Still, with all of these i-toys, soon no-one will even need (or
have the ability) to be creative or use their intelligence as it
will all be done by (locked-down) specific apps! Not a future I'm
going to be taking much part in, I may add.
