What You Can Import to Access with FileToDB

We support all common JSON data sources and formats for seamless Access integration—no manual coding required:

4 Simple Steps to Import JSON to Access (GUI Mode)

Our intuitive wizard makes JSON to Access import effortless—no technical skills needed. Follow these steps for any JSON type (standard, JSONL, MongoDB export, etc.):

  1. Step 1: Connect to Your Access Database

    Select Access as the database type, enter your Access File, username, password, then click Connect. 📷

  2. Step 2: Select Your JSON Source & Import Wizard

    Choose the wizard matching your use case (1 File To 1 Table, N Files To 1 Table, N Files To N Tables, URL Source for API JSON 📷). Select JSON as file format and load your data/URL—FileToDB auto-parses the structure. 📷

  3. Step 3: Configure Target Table & Fields

    Select existing table or create new from JSON structure, map JSON columns to Access fields (auto-mapping available), set load type (Replace/Append/Update/Upsert), customize date/number formats. 📷

  4. Step 4: Preview & Import

    Preview parsed JSON data, set optional parameters (skip rows, error handling), 📷 click Start Convert—view real-time progress and final import summary. 📷

Pro Tip: For REST API JSON—FileToDB auto-downloads the API JSON data to a local file and imports it to Access in one workflow!

Key Use Cases (Step-by-Step for Special Scenarios)

  2. Load your MongoDB exported JSON file (auto-parses $oid and other structures)
  3. Map MongoDB JSON fields to Access table columns (e.g., _id, age, classid)
  4. Preview and import—your MongoDB JSON is now in Access!

Import JSON from RESTful API to Access

  1. In source selection, choose Url instead of File
  2. Input API URL (e.g., http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users) and local save path
  3. Auto-parses nested fields (e.g., address.geo.lng, company.name)
  4. Create table with nested fields and import the data

Import JSONL/NDJSON/LDJSON to Access

  1. Use 1 File To 1 Table wizard and select your JSONL file
  2. Native parsing of newline-delimited JSON—no conversion needed
  3. Configure table fields and load type
  4. Preview and import (107 records in ~0.047 seconds in tests!)

Update / Upsert Access Data with JSON

  1. In Set Target step, set Load Type to Update or Upsert
  2. Select key column (e.g., EMPLOYEE_ID) to match existing data
  3. Map JSON fields to update/upsert
  4. Modify only specified data—no full table overwrite!
