Copying part of a database

I have a real estate database which shows sales of properties dating
back to 2001. I want to copy the sales transactions from 01/01/05 to
the present. The entire database has over 54000 records and I just want
the present sales. Can this be done?

Depends on how the db is constructed. If it's just a flat table then it's
easy, just use a delete query, but you'd have to post info on your design
for anything more complex.

I'm assuming that you want to do this "live" (as opposed to through VBA) .
1. Create a query to select the records you want to export
2. Change the query to a Make Table query (choose some descriptive table
name)
3. Run the query
4. Right-click on the newly created table and export, then follow the
instructions.
Good Luck,
