This is probably a simple thing but I could use some help...

Let's say I have 2 tables called "A" and "B".
Table "A" has a field called "ENTERED_DT".
Table "B" has a field called "ENTERED_DT_BYR".
Both fields in these tables have the same short date format.

I need to append the value from A.ENTERED_DT to B.ENTERED_DT_BYR.

When I run the append query, the values from table A do not append to table B. How can I do this when the column headings are different? :confused:

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Cancel that...I just figured it out. You just have to specify the field name into the Apend To row within the query.
