A few years ago, teams had to write SQL queries and code to extract useful information from large swathes of data. Today, all they have to do is type in a question.

Replace "new_table" with the name of the table to create, and replace "old_table" with the name of the table to select from. The INTO clause behaves the same as CREATE TABLE in other SQL environments.

Once the schema is created, close the SQL Script window. You’re ready to create a table. Creating a table I’ve created a database called SERVERS, that will be listed in the SCHEMAS pane.

SQL lets you use one command to quickly create a new table containing a subset of records from a larger table while working in Access. Sound complicated? It's not, as Mary Ann Richardson shows us.

Create a query from within Access that attaches to my SQL Server and retrieves the recordset. I'd likely use the same technique I applied in this thread. <BR>2.
