Hi Yvonne,
Providing that you do have 1 column in each table that is unique it can be
done using either:
1) Table->Update Column (and add the replacement column, save the
table, and throw away the corrupt column).
2) Use a Query where Table1.Col2 = Table2.Col2 or similar (does that
make sense?)
If you do not have 1 unique column in each table, can you make one out of
other columns? You again can use the Table->Update Column feature to do
this.
Hope that this helps,
Mark Crompton

Subject: MI Silly Question
Hi!!
I am hoping that you could help me. It seems to me that everytime that I try
to do the simpliest thing, it ends up being the hardest thing to do. Let me
give an example.
I have two tables, in which one has a corrupted column. Whilst the other
table has the correct details, so therefore I would like to just copy that
column from the correct file and add or overlay on to the corrupted column,
as this is the only problem. Unlike using normal MS Excel or Word, you can
not paste between different tables.
Therefore I suppose the question is
1)Can you highlight the column to do pasting, as you can only do per cell??
2)When you cut the row it always just leaves a grey strip....how do you get
rid of that?
3)And is it when you do join tables, by using the updating column, that you
have to have at least one column that contains the same data.
Thanks for your help
Yvonne
