Append Records From Passthrough Query to Local Table

Question

I have an Access Database and I\'m using a pass through query to return records from an AS400 table. The connection string and pass through query work fine, but now I\'m tr

Answer 1

You have a pass-through query which works fine and returns the rows you want. Now you want to store those rows in a new local (Jet/ACE) table. Seems to me a simpler approach would be to use the pass-through as the data source in a new "make table" query.

SELECT * INTO MyNewTable FROM YourPassThruQuery;

Oops, looks like you meant to append those rows to an existing table.

INSERT INTO MyNewTable
SELECT * FROM YourPassThruQuery;

If the table structures don't match, you can use field lists for both tables.

INSERT INTO MyNewTable (fld1, fld2)
SELECT first_field, second_field FROM YourPassThruQuery;
