Greetings Access Users, I have a database that has a record that I wish to copy from one database to another. The table structures in the two databases are identical. Here's the issue: the record's data is broken up into about 10 related tables. Is there any hints or tips on the best way of writing a query or some other solution to acheive this copy? I have about 70 records to copy from one database to another, and if I have to manually re-enter the data, it would take days. Thanks a million in advance, any advice that solves this matter would be a life saver! Kevin
