MS Access Forum / Queries / November 2005Importing from different database
I hope this is the right forum for this question. I am working in an Access database and need to import data from another database, and that data is from the result of running a stored query, rather than a table. That data, in turn, is being used to populate a table in the current database. I thought I could just do a transferdatabase, but when I did, I discovered the query from database #2 is based on the results from ANOTHER query from database #2. So I think I would need to to a transferdatabase for both queries. Is there a more efficient way to do this? Karen: I am assuming that your "other" database is also an Access database. If so, Access supports the IN SQL clause that allows you to specify a table or query in a remote ("other") database. For example: INSERT INTO MyNewTable SELECT * FROM RemoteQuery IN 'C:\db2.mdb';  SignatureDavid Lloyd MCSD .NET http://LemingtonConsulting.com This response is supplied "as is" without any representations or warranties.

Thanks, I didn't know that! Unfortunately, I still got the error about not being able to find one of the queries that were used as the source of the one I was after. The only solution I could see was to run a "make table" query from it in the remote database and then get the table by importing it into the current database. If I could figure out how to execute this "make table" query on the remote side while I was running the current database, I would be all set. Is there any way of knowing this that you know of? > Karen: > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > > > Is there a more efficient way to do this? |
