Yep...Access isn't my strong point, like I said...the only reason I even
posted my suggestion was cuz Cherie posted her problem twice and I figured
no one else was gonna answer.

Listen to the Access whizzes, Cherie..not me LOL

Cherie,

I didn't see your stated desire to keep a single record per student in the
database.  (This would be where relational of relational database can help
you but we will get around that).

While the MakeTable/Append Table option will work, it will also lead to
database bloat.  With the size of your database already up there, you will
want to avoid that.  Two recommendations here.  First, make sure you compact
your database regularly and keep a good backup copy at all times.  Second,
consider using a Union Query.  A union query simply takes two queries and
combines them into one.

Here is what you will want to do:
