Merging 2 Access tables

Hello, I'm pretty new to this Database thing and I'm hoping someone can
lend me a hand. I have an Access Database with two tables that I
imported from an old database. I have set them up so that both Tables
have identical fields. Each record has a Street Field and a Street
Number field filled in on both Tables. The issue I am having is Table 1
has half of the information for a certain address and table 2 has the
other half of the information. I would like to merge these 2 tables
into one, which would show all information for one address in one
record. And if there are any fields that have an entry in both Tables,
I would like table 2 to overwrite table 1. Any help you can give would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. - JC

create a query.
add both tables.
join on *both* of the matching fields.
Drop all the fields you want to output into the query.
run query.

Adjust as necessary.
