Creat Table Query

I would like to split a table into 2 tables. How do I go about doing this

RE: Create Table Query

Hi Chris

The Make Table Query allows you to take an existing Access table and split from it a group of fields you want to appear in a new table. To do this

1: Select Create on the ribbon and Select Query Design

2: Select the Table(s) or queries you want to use to create the new table. Click Ok

3: Create the query by dragging the fields you want to use from the field list into the design grid. Use any criteria (eg all dates after 1/1/00) to define the data to be moved to the new table.

4: Click Make Table in the Query Type section if the ribbon

5: Use the Table Name box to name the table you want to create.

6: Use Current Database or Another Database to indicate where you want to put the new table. Click OK

7: When completed create the new table by clicking Run on the Ribbon.

The newly created table should appear in the Tables area of the database

Hope this helps

Carlos

Access tip:

Choosing data types in Access

Not sure which data type to use for your Access fields? Here are some guidelines to help you choose a data type to assign to a field.

- The Text data type can accept up to 255 characters. For information that will be recorded in paragraphs, use Memo.

- Also use Text for numbers that aren't going to be used in calculations, e.g. phone numbers.

- Use the Currency data type for monetary amounts.

- Use Date/Time for dates.

- Most other numbers can use the Number data type, but the Field Size property may have to be altered.

- For fields that have only two alternatives (yes, no) use Yes/No data type. If there is likely to be a third entry option (e.g. maybe or don't know) use Text instead.
