Hi all,

Having a bit of trouble getting my head around a rather big query I need to do, I'll start from the top:

I have a database that i have copied 8 of the table structures from into a blank database, I now need to 'cut and paste' the records so to speak that are before a certain date criteria.

I have done a select join statement that returns all the records from all 8 tables that are all linked based on a specific record number. The records have been returned fine, i now need to figure out the best way to get all these records into the relevant tables on the other database, then preferably drop them after.

Any recommedations/advice?

Many thanks

Ed

no need of join if data should go to8 tables. you need seperate insert statements for each table.

forigve me for being stupid, however the other tables do not contain a date field, they are all linked in from the one unique number field on the first table, so how would i go about doing this?

then you might need join to table containing date field for those which dont have date field.
