working with 2 datafiles
in my application i need to get a query that join 2 tables from 2 different datafiles,
i have main.mdb that i use to store employees data
and common.mdb that has list and values
i fill the caode in data.mdb tables but the code and description is in common.mdb
now i want to show on a datagrid, one of the tables from main.mdb, but i want to display the code and description
the code is in main.mdb and description is in common.mdb ?
how can i do that ?
Does attaching the tables from common.mdb to data.mdb solve the problem or any other better answer ?????????
i use MS Access 2000 and VB6.0 on Win98SE
note that : the main.mdb and common.mdb could be installed to different locations, and location of common.mdb could change any time.
