:confused: Hi i was wondering if any one can advise me, I have two databases and wish to update a an edited table from the second database to the origianl table in the first database. I tried an append query were i could browse for the first database. But this type of query was not suitable as it would add a new set of records to the table in the first database, i only wished to add the edited fields from the second datbase table to the first database table.

I have tried a update query, with the following path in the update to field "C:\Documents and Settings\shareen\My Documents\dabatases.mdb\tbl_transactionMaster". But this is not working, am I totally going in the wrong direction or should i just coding this update instead of using a query. Any Ideas!!!!!! please help
 
Query

thnx for making it clear which query to use, i have tried using the update query as i want to amend existing fields. However when creating the query in the Update To field i have tried to locate the other database by typing in: C:\Documents and Settings\shareen\My Documents\specgas.mdb\tbl_transactionMaster.
But when i run this query it deos say it is going to update 6 rows, but when i luk at the table i am trying to update it does not work.

I think it is not recognising the update to filed path

"C:\Documents and Settings\shareen\My Documents\specgas.mdb\tbl_transactionMaster" Is that the correct format
