    Merging 2 Access databases

    If I wanted to merge 2 sample databases that are from the same Access
    version, such as an events management and a scheduling database, is
    this possible? And if so, can anyone give me directions or give me a
    page that has the directions?

    FYI, the databases are sample databases so the data in them is not
    really valid. I only want to avoid creating the structure and tables
    from one database into the other, if possible.?? Any help??

      Just import all the objects into one of them.
      File-->Get External Data-->Import--->FileType = Access and away you go.
      just select everything.

        I'd suggest importing all the objects from one of them into a _copy_ of the
        other, to leave the originals intact... just in case.
