RE: 2nd table need to add more fields other than from the 1st tabl

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



well, I import a txt file into a table in Access. This is the first table.
Based on information from the first table, and inf. from another table, I
will need to combine both of them and add a couple more fields . This is why
I create the new table. I think I should save data from tables into an array
to manipulate them. Do you know how to do it?
Thanks
