How do I import data from a remote ODBC table into a local MS Access table?

I have seen a number of questions and requests for how to do this. I was doing a little investigation and found this interesting info on the Microsoft site.

Basically stated, through the SQL window of a regular query, you can run the INSERT INTO command using the ODBC connection string that you would have built with a pass-through query.

Knowing this, you can also very easily create this same SQL string and execute with the DoCmd.RunSql method in VBA.

Go check out the site for more info...
