    Update and Append Entire table in Access

    hello
    I’m looking for help updating a local table in access using a linked table in the same DB called ALLELEMENTS linked from Excel. Really the DB works fine using the linked table because I’m mainly use it as a dashboard and for reporting but I also need to add info to the records so I made a copy of ALLELEMENTS and added the fields I needed.

    I can’t figure out how to –
    -Get the local table that includes a couple of new fields updated with new the new data (new records and updated sales figures, dates etc.) from the linked table.


    - Can I make a relationship between the linked table and the local?
    I only have 3 tables In my database
    tbl ALLELEMENTS (linked)
    tbl ALLELEMENTS2 –same as ALLELEMENTS with a notes field
    tblSALESREP

    all the forms and reports will be based off of queries from ALLELEMENTS2

    Why retain the Excel after the import to Access table?

    Can use UPDATE and INSERT actions to modify the second table records.
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.
