Lights, Camera, Action!

Action Queries can change the data in the Tables. For example, we created an Update Query to find any movie released before the year 2000 and set the rental price (RentalPriceID). The other Action Queries include Append (add more Records), Delete (subtract Records), and Make Table (Copy the Records from a Query into a new Table.)

This lesson will use Action Queries to import new movies into the movie Table and check for duplicates.

 

Our Mighty Access database needs a strategy for archiving the Records. There are several Action Queries that can simplify that task. Let's look at a plan.
