Due to ms access 2GB limitations on space; i am considering splitting a database into two.
However I regularly rely on SQL statements such as the following:
x
INSERT INTO [ ] SELECT [ ]
Is there a way in ADODB to perform the above, ie INSERT INTO table in file 1, the SELECT data from a table in file 2 ?

Here’s an example of updating one accdb from another using VBA and ADO:
Sub AddDataFromAccessToAccess()
Dim cn As Object
Dim sDatabase As String
Dim sDatabase2 As String
' change these paths
sDatabase = "C:Database1.accdb"
sDatabase2 = "C:Database2.accdb"
Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
With cn
.Provider = "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0"
.ConnectionString = "Data Source='" & sDatabase & "'"
.Open
' change table and field names here
.Execute "INSERT INTO Table1 ([Field1]) SELECT [Field2] FROM [MS Access;DATABASE=" & sDatabase2 & ";].[Table2]"
.Close
End With
End Sub
