Insert record from one db to another db

[Newsgroup_User]

Hi all,

need to retrieve a record from a table using varID (tblBookingForm) in one
database and insert in into another table (tblNetServ) in another database
on the same server, leaving the original record where it came from. Cant get
my head round it though MX doesn't seem to allow for 2 active connections.

Anyone help?

Regards
Simon

How about:

retrieve the value from the first database

save it into a session variable

stuff the value of the session variable into the second database

Which database are you using?

If it is Access then I would say you will to use a method similar to the one
Win suggested or invent another crafty way. If you are using SQL Server then
you can use a Linked Server.

Without the type of database it is very difficult to offer help.
