How to continuously append live table to table?

I have a situation here:

every month there will be a table (with 3200+- entries) that should be
appended to a Year-to-Date table.

I appended the second month's live table to the accumulative table,
but don't know how to do it for the third month, other than deleting
the live table temporarily and import the new live table again.

is there a form or any other simpler and neat way for this? thank you
for your time.

What objefctive are you attempting to satisfy by having separate month
and year to date tables?

I need to consolidate the monthly table to YTD table and then make
report based on the YTD Table.

The proper way would be ONE table and then use queries. One for the current
month and one for the year to date data.

Thanks for the reply, and the question is how to create this YTD
data. It has to be updated every month by adding up the current month
tables to the YTD table.

Not if you have it all in one table. You just have a totals query that
looks at all records for the current year by having appropriate criteria
applied.

Any time you have processes that involve copying data from one table into
other tables that is a big warning flag that your design is incorrect.

Thanks a lot, I feel I need to redesign my work. I'm very much a
newbie for Access, any frame idea and design methodology is huge help
to me.

Another question is following your logic, I will have 12 current
tables for a year and I will make summary queries based upon these
tables. but I still need to go into the queries every month linking
the new current month table into my reports.

No 12 tables. ONE table. Your report can easily be filtered to show any
particular month of data or year to date.

Just Make a new table and append into it all of your 12 tables worth of data
(include a field for the date if you don't already have one). On a form you
can allow the user to enter the desired report month and then provide a
button for opening the report. That button can open the report pre-filtered
on the desired month or on Year to Date if the user chooses that option.

Once you have all that working you can delete your separate 13 tables that
you have now.

Hello, I have a table that I am appending 3 seperate tables into. My main problem is that each time I append the data, it simply adds to the data already there.

It used to only transfer records that weren't already there, but not anymore. If I can't get the append to append correctly, I was...

At month end, there will be a month-to-date table that should be appended into the Year-to-date one. The MTD table is a lump-sum one, no way to enter into the YTD one entry by one entry. I can append Feb MTD to Jan MTD and make it a YTD table, just don't know how to do it continuously. For example, March, the only thing I can think of is to delete the Feb MTD, replace it with March MTD, and then append to the YTD. but this will involve...
