Hello-
I want the records in one column of a table to be the fields of another
table?
Is this possible?
Thank you

Hi Al,

Yes, this is possible using VBA code. It is not uncommon to have to take data that has been
stored in multiple columns in Excel (example: January Sales, February Sales, March Sales, etc.)
and re-write it into as individual records in an Access table, in order to achieve a normalized
data structure. The general idea is to open two recordsets; one to read each record from the
un-normalized source table and the other to write the result to a new normalized target table.
You read each column in each record from the source table and write the result to the target
table. You continue in a loop until all values have been transferred.

I have some examples that I can send to you, if you'd like. Are you comfortable using VBA code?

Tom
