    Exclamation Use Table1 to update Table2? Urg Help needed


    I have 2 tables, I will simplify the situation. Say I have table1, it has the fields "ID", "Tag", "Date", and table2 and the fields "ID" "TAG". Table1 contains an old version of the dataset, and table2 is updated every so often.

    I want to do two things. First, I want to update Table1 with the new dataset on the either automatically or with the click of a mouse with the data that is in Table2.

    The other thing I want to do is I want to check that the data in Table1 is not unique, ie, if a value exists in table1 and not in table2, I want it removed, but I want it moved to a table called Dump so it can be reviewed before it is removed.

    Take this as an example

    Table1 "Tag" dataset
    Tag1
    Tag2
    Tag3
    Tag4

    Table2 "Tag" dataset
    Tag1
    Tag2
    Tag4
    Tag5

    This will become

    Table1 "Tag" dataset
    Tag1
    Tag2
    Tag4
    Tag5

    Dump "Tag" dataset
    Tag3

    Start by letting the query wizard create an "Unmatched" query for you.
