Hey all,
Total access newb here whose been asked to solve a unique ( i think) problem at work.
There is this database of about 500 tables. Each table is a system. Many systems contain duplicate parts so there is lots of redundancy.
What we would like to do is be able to update all instances of a certain part from a master list. Each table of parts contains a field Part number that helps to distinguish these parts.
Let's say that price of battery changes from $5 to $10.
We would like to change that on one list and have the updates ring through all the lists.
I know in My SQL the solution would be something like Update * From * where field like *'Battery'* But I'm not sure that this is the access way, or even the best approach. Sorry if this question is newbish, would be very grateful for any help anyway!
Thanks,
C.Whelden
