What is the Append Query

An Access Append query adds (appends) records from one table to another table in the database.

The table that you want to append records to must exist. You can append records to a table in the database you are working in, or into another Microsoft Access database.

Access Append queries are good for adding data to a different table, where the data is based upon a selection criteria.

However, append queries are not always the most efficient way of adding records. If you need to add all records and fields from one table to another table, using Copy and Paste options would be the best solution.

Hope this helps.

Access tip:

Choosing data types in Access

Not sure which data type to use for your Access fields? Here are some guidelines to help you choose a data type to assign to a field.

- The Text data type can accept up to 255 characters. For information that will be recorded in paragraphs, use Memo.

- Also use Text for numbers that aren't going to be used in calculations, e.g. phone numbers.

- Use the Currency data type for monetary amounts.

- Use Date/Time for dates.

- Most other numbers can use the Number data type, but the Field Size property may have to be altered.

- For fields that have only two alternatives (yes, no) use Yes/No data type. If there is likely to be a third entry option (e.g. maybe or don't know) use Text instead.
