Default How to update old DB to New DB?

Hi,

The database belongs to voluntary organization - Higher education
grant for poor students the organization helps for their education. In
the mean time 5 years back one of my senior collegue designed a
database with some basic database knowledge..

About the database: According to their courses the tables are designed
for each course he created a new table to enter the data.. There are
nearly 10 different courses with the same fields using with mail merge
option we used to take prints and send them to field offices loacted
in their areas.. so we need to enter the details according to their
personal details and amount given to them according to their academic
year..
i have designed the reports how i need it.. but i have nearly 10
thousands of records in the file now i want to merge the whole data..

The main two drawbacks are
1. we are unable to extract the data what we want...
2. As the data is enormous we are unable to merge the whole data in
one table as their id are autonumbers and the same numbers are in
other tables also..
3. for each year we have to add the academic year and expenditure of
the present year other wise we cannot extract the record..

so i'm in great confusion to get the data properly..
if you can see the data and its structure of old and new and other
word documents given you can get a clear idea to explain back to me..

thank you once again..

bye..
