How to combine separate identical databases

I have several Access databases, identical in structure, but different data. Is there an
easy way to combine them all into one database? There are six tables, I just want the
data from all databases merged into one database.

Thanks in advance.

From your single database, link to the tables in the 6 different databases.

You can create a query that UNIONs the 6 tables together, but that query
will not be updatable.

Hi
Is this something you want to do just once? You can attach to all the
other tables from one of the databases and append the tables into one
of each type using queries or even by copy and paste append. This is
easy if time-consuming.
But you will need to do more if the tables have sequential autonumber
keys which are used in relationships, as the same key values will
occur in the different databases.

I would like to hear opinions on the tradeoffs of putting the tables, forms, and queries for several related datasets in separate databases vs one combined database. I am working on an application that will have a number of "subjects". The subjects have a number of commonalities, but are not identical. I am hoping that I will discover that the subjects fall into a few "types" and a common database structure can be used for each type. ...

Hi, We have a significant (and increasing) number of identical databases spread over numerous servers (linux) and are finding it a pain making table changes since we are currently issuing the alter command manually against each db.

I have query1 where I set a date range. Query2 is a crosstab query and is based on query1. I don't want the queries to be saved in the mdb but I do want them to be run in VBA using a querystring. If I only put query2 in the querystring it refers to query1 which is not available in the database. How can I combine the 2 queries into one querystring? Thank you, John
