Hi Corky,
Try running two queries, note they omit any mention of the ID field:
This first one has been saved as qryUnionPartDesc
SELECT tblFirst.PartNumber, tblFirst.Description FROM tblFirst
UNION SELECT tblSecond.PartNumber, tblSecond.Description FROM tblSecond;
followed by this make table query:
SELECT qryUnionPartDesc.PartNumber, qryUnionPartDesc.Description INTO
tblCombined
FROM qryUnionPartDesc;

Hello,
Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
I am trying to compare two tables containing similar bills of
materials, both tables have an ID(unique)field a PartNumber field and a
Description field. The part No and Description fields do have multiple
entries of the same data and cannot be unique. I need to extract the
common parts between both tables into a new table which only shows me
the data once.
Any Ideas !!
Thanks, Corky
