View Full Version : Table from Multiple Tables

Well I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. This is my problem... We've got about 50 Access databases scattered across the network. Each network database contains the same tables and fields, but of course, each one contains different information (one network database is for DepartmentA, another network database is for DepartmentB, another network database is for DepartmentC, and so on).

What my boss wants is a single table/view that displays all the information contained in every network database table. The other part of this is that my boss then wants to be able to make changes in this single, all encompassing table/view and have those changes be pushed back out to the individual network databases. Is this possible? And if so, can someone help point me in the right direction? I'm still a little new at Access, but I can manipulate VBA code and all that if need be (I'm learning more and more as I get deeper and deeper into this project).

Thanks!
Lucid

Hello

That is possible if your tables are somehow related by a common primary key field. Then you can draw all the tables together with a query and have a single view as you desire.

If I draw all the tables together into one table with a query, does this allow me to push changes back out to the individual databases?
