As part of a macro, I'm trying to automate appending a table with new
records.
let's say the table 2 has some new records in it, but also has a lot
of identical records to table 1.
I would like to append table 1 with all of the new records, and do it
unattended in a macro.
Is there a way to specify in the append query to only append the
records that do not already match the linking fields in each table?
Since there can be no duplicated in the primary key, I know that I
could just run it and agree that some records can't be appended (the
same way you get rid of duplicates), but can I do this unattended with
no prompts? Otherwise I'm looking for a way to do this by just
specifying in the criteria just to update records where the "field1"
in table 1 does not match "field1" in table 2: but I've tried that and
I just get an error.
Thanks,
Larry
