Hi
I would like to use the append query but , the source table should be external database. I want to avoid the link table from (Source). Can I use the path at the end of my append query as follows

INSERT empno,ename INTO emp IN 'N:\InfoCom\Farhan\Test_DB\R&D(Testing).mdb'
SELECT empno, ename From emp_source
'N:\InfoCom\Farhan\Test_DB\R&D(Testing).mdb';
So, simply the source table is in different database.

Many thanks
Farhan

When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Sorry my query was not clear
I want something like this

INSERT INTO emp ( ID, empno, deptno, ename )
SELECT emp.ID, emp.empno, emp.deptno, emp.ename
FROM emp N:\InfoCom\....\sourcedb.mdb;

Thanks
