Can someone help me out on setting up connectivity to an Access Database for access?

The database name is Project_names and I would like to set connectivity and read the database sequentially. How should I set up connectivity and set up the SQL instructions?

Thank you,
Access Beginner
 
Sorry OM - really can't get my head round what you're asking.

Where are you reading this database from ?

Are you talking about connecting two databases together - Frontend containing Forms, Reports, Modules and the BackEnd containing Table - or what ?

Are you wanting to extract this data into a MailMerge of some kind ?

What I need is to join two databases. Then select all the data elements from both them and display them in an access datasheet.
 
So what you are saying is that you have two Access databases, in each of the databases you have a table that you need to combine into a single recordset?

 
You can use "IN" in the FROM clause
[tt]
Select * From tbl1

UNION

Select * From tbl2 IN "C:\thepath\OtherDB.mdb"
[/tt]
