How to copy Table2 columns in to Table1 ?

[b.saimsc]

Hi all,

I have design table1, the table1 have 10 columns ex: slno, EMP_ID, EMP_Name, EMP_loc, EMP_designation, EMP_Status.

I have imported an excel file(with formula acimport) have EMP_ID, EMP_Designation and some other date...after importing this excel in to access it will be coming in to table 2....If I use the DoCmd.CopyObject then table1 is replacing with table2 so I have lost table1...

How to replace Table2 columns( Emp_ID and Emp_Designation) into Table1 columns of Emp_ID and EMP_Designation

Emp_ID is in number format and Emp_Designation is in Text Format

Regards,


Sai

You want to add the Excel records to table1? Can you just import directly to table1?

Yes I have imported Table2 records but in Table2 some records i want to copy Table1......So i have used a formula but it's now working.......Can you help me

Why do you need to duplicate records from table2 to table1?

An INSERT SELECT sql action might accomplish what you want.

Everyday we are getting Table2 from my boss, then we have enter table2 some field into table1 and depend upon those fields we have to enter remaining fields in table1........so if i copy automatically the table2 required fields then my job Easy.......Can you give me an example formula?

Review http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=sql.105).aspx

Must be a language barrier. I still don't understand why you don't just import from Excel directly to table1 and then complete data entry for the remaining fields.

OK I will give an example: Table1 have these fields slno, EMP_ID, EMP_Name, EMP_loc, EMP_designation, EMP_Status............OK
Table2 have these fields EMP_ID and EMP_designation............only....OK

I don't know how to import only EMP_ID and EMP_Designation into Table1............Can you give me formula.....i really appreciate.......

What problem do you face when you try to do what June has suggested ( i.e. import from the excel sheet )?
Perhaps, you can use the "External Data" & use the append data option.

Thanks

Importing external ms-excel data file with formula(given command button to import excel) but i don't want all fields which i have been importing file

My problem is importing excel sheet have a lot of unnessary data, i want first and middle columns only ..........I don't know how to copy those columns in to my table............Is it clear.......appolized for my confused statement

Import wizard allows you to selectively import columns. Should be able to create an import specification with the import wizard and then call that specification whenever needed. Review

I want formula........i am not importing files from outside......I want formula for how to copy existing table data to another table.......

[June7]

My understanding is that you are importing from an Excel spreadsheet into table2 then you want to copy data from table2 into table1.

I am still confused about why you don't just import directly to table1.

Otherwise, I gave you a link in post6 for guidance on doing an INSERT SELECT sql action that can be used to copy data from one table to another.

I am using access forms and I have coperating Table1 with full commands, I have given commands like field1 depends field2 result will come...........like that. So if i am importing table2 as table1 it's completely replaceing with my table1.....i am using command acimport when importing data..........can you give me a formula for without disturbing my
Table1.........Thank you for your response...

I don't have a 'forumula'. I referred you to a tutorial on sql INSERT SELECT action.

I am not suggesting you import the spreadsheet to replace table1, you can append records to table1.

You have been referred to resources to accomplish what you want. Attempt code and post it for analysis if it errors.

INSERT INTO Table1 ( [ICN NUMBER], [Edit No] )
SELECT [Audit Claims].ICN, [Audit Claims].COD
FROM [Audit Claims] INNER JOIN Table1 ON ([Audit Claims].COD = Table1.[Edit No]) AND ([Audit Claims].ICN = Table1.[ICN NUMBER]); throught query wizard but it's not appending any records to table1...............Please help me....
