MS Access Append Query Problem

by mike thompson . Updated 22 years, 11 months ago

I am attempting to add records from one table (table A) to table B.

Specifically, I’m trying to match the fields as follows:

Table A Table B
——- ——-
Amount to FY 2003 (IF another field for the
same record on Table “Grant
Year” equals 2003)

Amount to FY 2002 (“” 2002), and so on.
————————————————-
What I’ve tried so far …

Under the append query column (in design view) I included the following criteria: [Table A]![Grant Year]=2003

I repeated this for years 2002 – 2000.

When I look at the datasheet view it shows a zillion records to be appended when table A only had 45 records to begin with.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I’ve thought of modifying the field in Table B to directly correspond with table A’s fields, but I’m stubborn. I believe this should work, but how??

Thanks in adance!

Mike
