I have 4 databases that are all the same thing.
These are from different sites but we made sure that
no 2 databases are using the same id's and autoid's so
all the tables are unique in their data and linking.

but now they want to merge/append all of them into 1 database.
there are 14 tables in each one that have to me consolidated into one.

Is there a nice easy way to do this?
I know I could manually append each table from each database one at
a time but I was thinking that I could link to the tables, append and then move
to the next one.

can someone give me a good idea of where to start and how to approach this?

thanks big time for any and all help

I think I'd just create some queries, import one lot, run the queries,
delete the imported tables, import the next lot and so on.... I'm sure there
are a number of variations to this.
