Using MS Access - creating new table from data from two other tables

Expert: Scottgem - 7/1/2009

Question
Hi Scott,

I'm working in MS Access 2003. I need to create a table that is made up of portions of two other tables. Every time the database is populated with data the table needs to be updated with the data from those two tables. How would I go about doing this?

Answer
Why? Why not just use a query that joins the two tables? The query will always show the current data. As a general rule we don't want data in more than one place.

Hope this helps,
