HEMASUR,
Perhaps I am misunderstanding the question... but several queries can be tied to a single macro. If the update query runs immediately following the append query, create a new macro, with the action "OpenQuery" tied to your Append Query then on the second line of the macro, do another "OpenQuery" action tied to your Update Query.
I usually put a "MsgBox" Action at the end with a "Job Done" message to notify the macro has finished running.
Hope this helps.
Mike
