How does one enter ranges ie. zip code ranges into a access table also how
does one enter multiple values ie states for one territory into an access
table?

Thank you

Ed
 
Ed,

I think you are talking about several tables BUT you need to tell us what
you are trying to do. For instance, are you trying to find locations within
a certain radius of a zip code? OR what states or provinces are in a
territory? OR maybe you just want to know what zip codes are in a
particular state or territory? AND are we talking US or US and Canada?

It isn't clear what you mean. If you're talking about how to load a lot
of information into an Access database without typing it into a table or
(better) a form, then you can import from many "regular" formats,
including Excel.

The second part of your question sounds different: a many-to-one
relationship. You'd have one table for "territory" with a unique ID
(primary key) and another table for "state" which included the key of
the relevant territory. A "relationship". Google for "normalisation"
to learn more.
