Creat Table Query

I would like to split a table into 2 tables. How do I go about doing this

RE: Create Table Query

Hi Chris

The Make Table Query allows you to take an existing Access table and split from it a group of fields you want to appear in a new table. To do this

1: Select Create on the ribbon and Select Query Design

2: Select the Table(s) or queries you want to use to create the new table. Click Ok

3: Create the query by dragging the fields you want to use from the field list into the design grid. Use any criteria (eg all dates after 1/1/00) to define the data to be moved to the new table.

4: Click Make Table in the Query Type section if the ribbon

5: Use the Table Name box to name the table you want to create.

6: Use Current Database or Another Database to indicate where you want to put the new table. Click OK

7: When completed create the new table by clicking Run on the Ribbon.

The newly created table should appear in the Tables area of the database

Hope this helps

Access tip:

Splittng a database

Split your database into two (at least).

Keep all of your code, forms, reports, etc. in one 'code' database and all of your tables in another 'data' database which is then linked to the 'code' database.

This makes modifications, updates and back-ups that much easier and allows you to work on a new version of your 'code' database without affecting existing users. It also makes it easier should you wish to convert a single user databases into a multi-user networked version.
