Append Query and Odbc

Q

I need to create an update query to pass records from an Access table to a
MySQL table, but when I am in the query designer and select the Append Query
it request the destination table and the ODBC table does not appear??? It is
there when I go to the Tables Object browser. What is going on? How can I
do this?

First, find out if you can access the MySQL table:

1. Open the query's SQL View.
2. Type in something like this:

SELECT TOP 2 * FROM MySQL_table_name

Substitute the MySQL table name for 'MySQL_table_name.'

3. Run the above query.

If you get any results then you can use the SQL View to create the
Append (INSERT INTO) query. Syntax:

INSERT INTO MySQL_table_name (column_name1, column_name2, ...)
VALUES ('aaa', 'bbb', 222, ....)

If you're using a SELECT use this syntax:

INSERT INTO MySQL_table_name (column_name1, column_name2, ...)
SELECT col1, col2, ...
FROM source_table
WHERE <criteria>
