Hi all,
I am a newbie who goes through tasks in apainfully slow and in an
inefficient way in Access. I've been experimenting here and there and
have figured out a few things, but for the most part, I still need
help. Here's a quick question that can help me get rolling with a new
project. I have multiple tables, all have the same field names and
formats...what is the quickest way to merge them all into one large
table? I've been doing an Append Query one by one, but that takes a
while, given that i have 45 tables. The table I want all the other
tables "merged" or appended to is tblAllStocks. Is there a faster way
to do this instead of Appening one table at a time?
Thank you for your help in advance,

There is no faster way, unless you are fluent with VBA, but then you
probably would not have asked the question.
If you have to do this repeatedly, you can create 45 queries, and run
them in sequence from a single macro.

Well you could try using some code along the lines of
Dim db As DAO.Database, strSQL as String
Set db = CurrentDb
strSQL = Insert into tblAllStocks ( MyField1, MyField2 ...etc ) Select
MyOtherField1, MyOtherField2 ... etc from tblMyOtherTable
db.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError
Set db = Nothing
substituting field names as appropriate and changing "tblMyOtherTabl e" each
time you run it.

I am considering combining one large Access db and several small

Here are the pros and cons as I see them now.

Hi all
I need to add data from two Excel sheets (both on the same workbook)
to an existing table in my SQL DB.
The problem is that each sheet holds different fields for the same
record, though the records are sorted by row numbers.
(I had to split the fields to different sheets because Excel has a
limit of 256 fields in each sheet)
My sheets are quite large (~55,000 rows and 200 columns each) and I'll

I have inherited a database which has a table for each of our 1200
customers. Each table is exactly the same. It is very difficult to
generate reports
I would like to create a new table and take in all the records of all
the tables into this database. The new table will have an extra field
which will hold the table name for the records imported from the
tables.
Can anyone help?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
