    Join the two tables in a query on a common field. What do you mean by merge? Concatenate? Add?

    i think it is Concatenate is that when you take the data from one feild then data from anouther feild from a diffrent table and make a new field with the data from both field
    eg table1 field1 (123) table2 feild1 (456) = field2 123456
    thanks for any help you can give i am very new to all this

    Join your two tables on a common field. In a new field, type the following

    NewFieldName: [table1].[Field1] & [table2].[Field2]

    Change the names to reflect your table and field names.
