I have data saved in an access database . I had poor data connection at one time and decided to collect data using another system and save it in my computer. How do i upload this data into commcare.

Dorcas,

Unfortunately there is no "one size fits all" way to import data into CommCare since the stored data can be represented in many ways and must end up as form data or case data to end up in CommCare. You have a few options:

1. Manually re-enter the data in a CommCare form

2. If using case data, then you can use import cases from excel

3. If you have some programming experience you could use the submission API.

Cheers,

Will
