trying to append from several different databases

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.

I need to run a query which will pull data from two tables and append it as one when it displays the result. The data are in two tables. But the result set will be identical in terms of number of columns. I want to display it one set below the other. This is for pay history. From 2003 we have a new payroll system. Till 2002 we used to have a different system. But I need to run a query which will pull the data for an employee for the last...

Greetings, I'm working on a CGI program that will run under MS IIS 5.0 and will browse folders on three other machines, building HTML pages that will provide links to these folders. Essentially, the CGI will connect to each machine in turn, doing the FindFirst/FindNext process based on the current criteria. It will select certain files/folders, and build an HTML page as it goes.

I have several Access 97 databases which are split into front end and back end running off a server. The front end mde is shared by 2 or 3 - absolute maximum of 6 concurrent users. This scenario has been working flawlessly for about 2 years. I am now at a point where these databases need to be converted to Access 2003. I think I read somewhere on this forum that the newer versions of Access are not as tolerant to multiple users...

(Average 20k records) A command button deletes all records from a 1 field input table and then opens a form bound to this table. Results from the oracle query are pasted into the input table. When the form is closed, a destination table is cleared of all records and then each record from the input table...

Hi all, at the moment i am developing an app which is sort of an interface to copy data from one database to another and it shall run as a service. As there are several databases the app must be installed and run in multiple instances with the configuration data (database, login, etc.) stored in an app.config file. Up to now I was concerned with Windows CE apps only so both running an app as service and running multiple instances of...

I have to run a lot of append queries. I have data in tables in old databases that has to be appended to tables in a new database. I made a new database in which I linked the old tables and the new tables. Such would look like this: Old table: tblQGBB1 New Table: tblQGBB21 Table tblQGBB21 should be emptied if filled

We have 3 databases that are just copies of the master. I have no idea why this is but I need to put them all in one. They contain a main table and 2 subtables linked one to many. I am sure that some of the autonumbers are duplicates. At first I thought of appending a database number to each autoid so that would make them unique and I would be able to tell from which database it came. Should I just append the tables?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
