I am at a complete loss on how to do this. I am using Microsoft Access
2000, to implement a preliminary version of a reasonably modest
relational database.
I have two Access Tables (imported from MS Excel spreadsheets), and I
need to somehow get the data for a "Person_ID" brought over from one to
the other.
In Table_A, there are many records for each person, and the first and
last name are included, but the Person_ID field is empty. There are
more than 65,000 records.
In Table_B, there is only one entry for each person, and each record
contains a field called Person_ID. There are more than 15,000 records.
I cannot figure out any way to bring the Person_ID data from Table_B to
Table_A, to allow me to create a relationship through the Person_ID
field to several other tables.
Can someone point me to a resource that would tell me how to do this?
If the data sources were smaller, I could export them to Excel and
manipulate them there, and then re-import tham, but there are more than
65,000 records.
