Jim,
What you are referring to is a basic query. Go to the Query tab of the
Database window and select new. Choose Design View. Next, select the two
tables you want. To link them select the field(s) that should be the same
and drag and drop one to the same field in the second table. A single line
will appear for each one of these connecting the two tables. The default
setting is to only include records that are the same in each table. This
means that as long as all the data in both fields match (for all fields you
link) the item will appear with whatever other data you select. Once you
have the query selecting everything you want, you can change your query type
to Make Table instead of Select and create a table of the merged data.

Subject: [mso] Access 97, Query 2 tables ? :VSMail MX1
Lets see if I can correctly explain what I want to accomplish.
I have 2 spreadsheets of inventory data that I have imported into a new
database as 2 seperate tables.
Each table now has fields containing 'partnumber' and 'serialnumber' along
with various other fields.
What I want to do is compare the 2 tables, possibly generate a new combined
table, or at least a report that shows ONLY the partnumbers and
serialnumbers that are in both table, note each table contains other fields
that I want to carry over into the new
table or report. Entries that ARE NOT in both tables should be ignored.
I've tried to build a quiry for this, but I havn't had any positive results
yet. Unfortunately the class I just attended Tuesday didn't deal with
multiple tables and the instructor refused to answer my questions except to
say that would be covered in a
higher level class which isn't available until mid next month.
Any help is Greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-Jim-
