By saving the import steps in the Access database, Brij can quickly run them again to update the database with the latest donor information from local non-profit offices. This will save time and ensure accuracy in the data. Providing each local office with a copy of the Access database or creating an HTML document are not efficient methods as they require extra steps and may lead to inconsistencies in the data. Requiring all local offices to use an Excel spreadsheet would also be inefficient as it would require manual importing of data into the Access database.
