- If the tables have the same format, you can use {Tools} {More} {Add} to
- append one to the other.
-
- If the formats are different, you can create a query with INSERT under the
- table name as follows:
-
- THISYR | Name | Address | Purchases |
- | _1 | _2 | _3 |
-
- ALLYRS | Who | Total | Where |
- INSERT | _1 | _3 | _2 |
-
- The _1's mean press the Example key (F5), then 1.
- You do not have to fill in all fields in the INSERT table, nor use all
- fields from the source table. You can also calculate items (_1+_2, for
- example), or type in constants in the INSERT table. You can limit which
- records in the source table by entering criteria, but you may not check off any
- fields.
