Default Moving Records from 1 access db to another existing db - 11-08-2003 , 02:08 PM






I have a pair of identical Access 2K dabases. These are used to track
information quarterly. The person doing the data entry accidently
opened the wrong database, and entered several dozen records into it.
So, I want to move them to the correct database.

I've tried to cut/paste (and paste append) the rows from the table
view, but that doesn't work. I get an error message about invalid data
in 3 of the fields. I've also taken a copy of the Q3 database, deleted
all except the records that I want to move, and tried to import into
the Q4 database. That sort of works. Unfortunately, instead of being
added to the current table, Access creates a new table.

Can someone point me in the direction as to how I can easily
accomplish this?

Thanks.

John

For a few dozen records you have already wasted too much time, retype
them! Or, eliminate the 3 offending fields, paste the rest, retype the
3, am I missing something?
