Default Update Table

Jeff,

We're not on a network but standalone computers and spread across the
country so difficult to get everyone together.

I've searched for info on copying a table but nothing seems to be
straightforward.

Ta, Rob

I'm not clear on your design, based on your description.

It sounds like you have yourself and 6 users, all of whom have their own
copies of a single database.

Any chance all of you are on the same Local Area Network? If so, look
into using a "split" design, rather than independent copies of the db.
Post back here if "split" is unfamiliar...

Hi,

Using Access 2000. I have a fairly simple database which is updated with
data weekly through an import routine, however, one table in the database
needs to be updated with some new records which isn't included in the
weekly update. I could speak to the 6 other users which all use a copy
of the database to talk them through the changes needed but they aren't
very experienced with 'behind the scene' workings.

My ideal would be to export my table that I update and have them import
the table into their database and thus, overwrite their original table.
I looked at sending them the whole database less the data but they can
and have created their own queries which would be lost.

Is there a way to copy and replace a table in another database?

Thank you, Rob
