Actually I want choose different file when I run the query. I want to use file dialog to choose the file from different location.

Hi,

You can use below query to do such job. Let us know if this works for you.

Run this to update your selected database:
INSERT INTO [MS Access;DATABASE=" & YourSelectedDatabasePathGoesHere & ";].[F15] ( SERVICE, YEAR, DUTY)
SELECT F13.SERVICE, F13.YEAR, F13.DUTY
FROM F13;

Run this to update your current database:
INSERT INTO [F15] ( SERVICE, YEAR, DUTY)
SELECT SERVICE, YEAR, DUTY
FROM [MS Access;DATABASE=" & YourSelectedDatabasePathGoesHere & ";].[F13];
