hello, i have checked out the forum for pevious Q's to this problem and found the below.

http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=80692&highlight=compare+tables

only problem is thats its writen at a bit too technicle a level from where i am. i've done some investigation into the problem though.

found out i need to use the docmd.transferdatabase function to import the tables i need to compare into my current db.

my question is this. how does it import them, does it create new tables within the current db or is it put somewhere in temp memory for use only while db is open, not sure how it would work. ideally i would like it to import tables, do the table comparison then create a report of the differences or make a new table showing the differences, then it reverts back to how it was before i imported it. i.e. he current databse is unchanged except for maybe a new report or new table (the results).

thank you for any advice.

Neil
 
The TransferDatabase method can import/export/link tables. I would link the tables rather than import them. When you are finished with the compare, you can delete the links.
