I have an update table which I automatically would like to add to the master
table which is in use by other users. My idea is to add the records via an
update query. Is this a reliable method or can I run into problems and
should I do it another way?
Thanks,
john

Should work fine, the only problem being if a user has one or more of your tables locked (i.e. they're doing data entry
work, saving the data, etc).

Thanks Scott. I just realize I accicentally mentioned UPDATE query while it
should be an INSERT query. With an insert query, can record locking also be
a problem?

Same scenario, although I'd say that Insert queries would tend to have less tendency to cause record lock issues, since
they would always be inserting new records (and obviously no one could be editing a new record).

You also need to look at whether to use record level locking and how
the other users are accessing hte master table.
What version of Access are you using, and is the backend on a windows
2003 server or XP box?

Hello,
I am attempting to split a raw data table into a new table that has

The Raw data contains a number of columns with key columns similar to

Hi:
I need to add some records in a table called location(primary key:
loc_id). What I want to do is for each location in the table, I add
the same record but with a different loc_id, which can be a random
string. All the other column should contain the same value. Can anyone
give me a hint on how to do this in SQL server 2000 enterprise
manager?
thx.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
