I have two identical tables in Access and I want to insert the data of second into the first table. I have as Primary Key the column "Registration Number" in both tables. So what else I have to add to the query to insert only the record that have different primary keys.

INSERT INTO db1_table1
SELECT *
FROM db1_table2

INSERT INTO db1_table1
SELECT db1_table2.*
FROM db1_table2
left join db1_table1
on db1_table2.plk = db1_table1.pk
where db1_table1.pk is null

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
