    Comparing two tables

    Hi,

    Used this forum with great success when it comes to Excel.
    Now I have started to learn Access and my first challenge is as following:

    I have two tables that are more or less similar. I would like to know what the difference (textual) is between table 1 and table 2.
    I am fairly new to Access, but I assume that I need to set up a query for this?
    If possible it would be great if the differences between the tables where shown in a new table.

    The ID field is not the same on the two tables.
    In table 1 the ID is p001,p002,p003,etc - in table 2 the corresponding rows is IDīd s1,s2,s3,etc.

    Any inputs to help me understand how to compare these two tables and have the differences as an output is greatly appreciated!

    Re: Comparing two tables

    in the query, youd join matching fields, not the ID fld.
