Author Newbie Question: Copying A Record's Data From Multiple Tables In One Database to Another

Greetings Access Users,

I have a database that has a record that I wish to copy from one
database to another. The table structures in the two databases are
identical. Here's the issue: the record's data is broken up into
about 10 related tables. Is there any hints or tips on the best way
of writing a query or some other solution to acheive this copy?

I have about 70 records to copy from one database to another, and if I
have to manually re-enter the data, it would take days.

Thanks a million in advance, any advice that solves this matter would
be a life saver!

In your source database, create a link to you destination table (linked
table manager), then use an append query with the linked table as the
destination.
