Match Records from One Database to Another

[WILLIAM CONABLE]

Taking a slightly different approach from the good posts before me, I want to ask this: is there any strong reason why you don't want to have File B open every time you have File A open? Whenever I have a situation where information must be consistently posted from one file to another, I always make sure that any time I open the posting file, the post-to file is also open. This can be done by making a set, or with an .initialize procedure; you could also open the B file as part of your posting procedure, but in my experience this is a little more dicey. If for some reason you need to have the B file hidden, you can use OpenSecret.
