Queries

How can you create queries to split up tables and create new tables?

RE: Queries

Hi Kara

A Make table query allows you to take data from an existing table in query form and then create a new table. To do this:

1. Create a query from the table you want to split holding the fields you want to go in the first table.

2. Click the Query Types button on the toolbar and select Make-Table Query...

3. Enter the new table's name in the Table Name text box

4. Click OK and then save the query

5. When you run the query it will create the new table you require.

6. Repeat for the rest of the data in the original table

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.
