Database build / data refine

Hi,

I run a small telemarketing agency and I now need to organise all the data I've collected from various sources.

In all there are about 15 excel spreadsheets with varying information on each spreadsheet. There are also duplicate records on each spreadsheets and within all the data as a whole. total records across all the spreadsheets probably number 10000 or thereabous (some of the records have multiple contact names for the same company).

I need a simple access database designed whereby I can import all the records with all the data fields, de-dupe the records then be able to pull off chunks of data dependent on searches in various fields eg county, size of company, industry etc. Not all the spreadsheets have the same information on so it will take some organising to actually get the fields in place. I also need an 'idiots guide' instructions on how to import further data/ export data after running a report and how to actually do the searches.

oh and I need this completed asap:) any clarification needed just ask.
