The number of fields does not matter. What does matter is that you match field names and types. Compare the structures between the tables you are trying to append from and to.

>>Do you get an error message? If so, what is it? If not, are you getting just blank records appended? Providing partial table structures for the 1st and 3rd tables would probably be helpful as well.
