You have copied a file which belongs to a database. As i recall, you have done this to keep the long field names you are using. (See yoúr older threads.)
What you can do is the following.
At the client side copy the data to a new free table.
At the server side you can create a view for the free table with something like:
select myverylongn as myverylongname1, etc etc
Then you can use append from the view instead of from the original table.
