good day all,

I have tbldesignnumbers that I would like updated from my tblinventory
and tbldesigndata. all 3 tbldesignnumbers, qryinventory, and qrydesigndata
contain the following fields designname, designnumber, carpetnumber. What I
want is this: if there are any new fields added to either the tblinventory or
tbldesigndate, on close of my database the tbldesignnumbers is automatically
updated with any changes or new records.

I have tried an update query, I have tried an append query but just cannot
get it to work..

Any suggestions?

thanks,

Brook
 
Are we to assume there is a mutual primary key amoung the tables?
Is there a reason why you store the same information in multiple tables?
Do you really mean you want to add "new fields"?

Allen Browne has some inventory information at
