Use the Append Rows command to attach the records from one table to another. The two tables should have the same set of columns in the same order.

To append data to another table:

  1. On the TABLE tab, in the Edit group, click Append Rows to open the Append Rows to Table dialog box.
  2. Specify the table containing the records you want appended.
  3. Specify the table to which the records will be appended and click OK.

If the corresponding columns do not have the same data type, a best fit is done to convert the data to the appropriate type. If the order of the columns is not the same between the two tables, use the Table Structure command to reorder the columns before using Append Rows.

Note: If tables are mappable, the bounds of the map in one table must be large enough to allow objects from the other table to fit within it. Otherwise, the objects will be distorted to the bounds of the Map window. Use the Check/Set CoordSys Bounds tool to alter the map bounds of the table if this occurs.
