    Moving Tables from one database to another


    I am working in Microsoft Access 2010 and wanted to move tables from a number of databases to a "Master List of Tables" without having to manually recreate them. The purpose is to have this "Master List" available when we are creating new databases covering similar topics.


    I was hoping to use the import tool but it appears to address only data not tables.


    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Where are you looking? The Import and Export areas on the External Data tab should allow you to import or export the entire table.

    Paul:

    Thanks for your quick reply. I was not looking in the right place. I tried the import tool and it allowed a few tables but had two path errors on two tables. However, I was using a jump drive as the source of the tables. I will copy the database from the jump drive to this computer and try it again. Thank you so much for your help. i now realize it was a bonehead question - but now i understand the protrusion from my forehead!
