I could be wrong, but I would create an append query and if you have your table set up correctly, it will not accept any duplicate records. There still may be a time issue dependent on the amount of data being appended. That's one suggestion. >>> pblack at hotmail.com 05/12/03 02:38PM >>> Is there a quicker/better way to append data than the method I currently use: select all records from table 1 move to first record in table 1 loop through every record in table 2 to see if a match occurs on LINK_PT field If there is a match it is skipped. If there is no match then table 1 record is appended to table 2 Move to next record in table 1 and continue loop until .eof I can do it this way but is there another quicker solution. As the tables grow the speed slows. I am using A97 for the app. Thanks Paul _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
