Combining tables from different databases

I have two identical databases on different local networks for increased efficiency. This is great for efficiency purposes, but I have yet to figure out a way to pull the data from these and combine them to generate company reports. Is there any way to query them together or create a table to pull this information in.

Thanks,
 
HI again,

I suggest using a union query to combine the two separate queries that pull recs from the two dbs. I answered this question for you in another message so keep your eyes open for it. ,g>

Have a good one!

THere must be a catch here somewhere. If the db's are identical, why draw data from both?

Puzzled.
 
Thanks Blacknight this worked great.

Zambezibill they are identical in structure not in data. I have them on different local networks because this increases entry speed because we have offices from texas to georgia and a slow network line does not make it efficient enough to be feasible to have one db. So I have them separate and now thanks to Blacknight I query the data together.
