Can someone help point me in the right direction for this. This isnt exactly what I want but once I have the solution to this I can work out the permutations I need.
How do I select from 3 tables into a single table (consequtive rows not joined ones) and include a two new columns which is the name of the table from which the data has been extracted, and a fixed piece of text. This select can be executed by more than one person at a time, so I need to extract into a transient temp table so that I can view the dataset. e.g. I have 3 tables containing names and want to extract the rows of a particular surname so I would have lets say select main, thetablename, surname from t1 into myautogentable select personal, thetablename, surname from t2 into myautogentable select group, thetablename, surname from t3 into myautogentable I can then link a database grid in my program to the dataset of the resulting query.
