Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
In order to change fields in an existing table you must use an UPDATE query. And you will need a PK in both tables that match or your UPDATE query won't execute correctly. To add new is an APPEND query. You cannot do both of these in the same query.
