you can do it all in access (it can be the same as in excel) but you may be more at home in excel

Creating a new Access database from an Excel spreadsheet - Access - Office.com

manipulate in excel and copy / export to access.

agree if more than a couple users using it go SQL!

Presumably you have multiple entries per user and multiple entries per file in the existing table and you want the new tables to have one entry per user and one per file?

I have no idea how to use access, can you migrate it to SQL express while you are at it?

Just off to elance to find someone....

Creating tables and moving data, easy.

Presumably something is querying the tables - forms/reports....?

Is this a simple thing to? I am no access expert.

Very simple - copy one column of your table, click create new table then paste. You'll need to add a primary key so add another column "ID" or whatever and set that to autonumber. Same for users and then create a new table defining the relationships
