No scripting required, just the internal data manipulation of Access. Consult the MS Access help files or any number of online resources for instructions on how to build a query in access that copies data from one table to another.

Re: how to update a mysql table from access
Hey thanks for the link, yep, i guess i am going to have to write something up in python. (or maybe be lucky enough to find something i can modify from hotscripts :) . i may check out that piece called Navicat. saw some reviews of it and it may have what i need also. thanks again nephish On Thu, 2005-07-14 at 00:25 -0500, mos wrote: At 09:32 PM 7/13/2005, you wrote: you mean like in a script? the windows computer runs access, which i am not very familiar with and was able to accomplish what i have done so far by lots o' docs at the mysql.com site. sorry for the newbie-ness of this question. i am somewhat familliar with python, maybe there is a module i can use for this.. thanks, You can use any language you like. I would have assumed you would use the same language that you used to access your Access database. Something like Visual Basic., Delphi, PHP, Perl, Python etc..You could even use MySQL.exe and execute an SQL script on that for something that is quick and dirty, but I wouldn't recommend it because you have no error checking capability (in other words you have no way of knowing if the script succeeded or not). http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python Mike -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

offer a solution ?
Hey there, i have been messing around with MySQL for a little bit now. I have a question about how i might could do something. i am writing a database to track what a bunch of electric monitors are doing. the status of the monitor changes almost daily. i need access to each monitor, when it changed, and i also need to track its history. Easy enough. but if i update a row in a table, i loose the old info. So i kinda cannot create a table referenced by a key of monitor number... i think that the easiest way, would be to create a seperate table for each monitor... but there are almost a thousand monitors... will that become a nightmare ? can MySQL handle that kind of thing? a thousand tables in one database ? i have to be able to access each change in its history. how should i set this up? thanks for any suggestions. shawn -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
