Hi John Try something like DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "Microsoft Access", _ "C:\My Documents\SomedB.mdb", acTable, "TheNameOfTheSourceTable", "WhatYouWantTheSourceTableToBeCalledInthisdB" Also where it says acTable you can insert acForm if you want to import a form acReport if you want to import a report Also where it says acImport you can replace with acLink if you just wann link rather than import The import/link thing has its pros and cons One Pro for linking is you always have the latest data (Assuming the linked table is in some live and active dB) One con for linking there may be (significant) speed issues, depending on network, NICs,The dB setup, if it's a full moon etc etc And of course vice versa See ya Hope this helps Darren --------------------------------------- NIMBLE T: 0424 696 433 -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of John Eget Sent: Saturday, 17 December 2005 10:58 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: [AccessD] selected table import from another backend Can anyone point me towerd a procedure that will import a table from a external database?
