Question : IMPORT DATA TO ANOTHER DATABASE
|
|
I designed a relational database - Access 97 - for a company and told them it was still in the development stage. However, users started entering actual data in the database and didn't let me know about it. I had a copy of the db at home and completed the project. I didn't realize they were entering data at the company. Now I am stuck with the changes I made to my new copy and can't figure out how to import data from the old company database.
I have not made any changes to the tables. Only added a couple of queries, forms and reports. It's a relational db so I am not sure how I would import data while preserving relationships. Any ideas?

Answer : IMPORT DATA TO ANOTHER DATABASE

If all you want to do is import the tables with the changes the users have made simply..
File --> Get External Data ---> Import .. then click on the DB you want to import from.
goto the tables tab and import all your tables. If you are importing tables with the same name it will rename them with a "1" at the end. Is this what you need?
