>Hi All,
> I have two tables that are supposed to be identical. One is at the home office and the other at a remote location. I was thinking of comparing each record one by one, but I was hoping there was an easier way. Has anyone had to compare two tables before and update the one that is outdated?
>Thanks,

If you do this on a regular basis, you may want to mark the modified records, instead (this can't be done with a trigger - "illegal recursion" or something), or use a trigger to post information on modified records to a separate table.

HTH, Hilmar.
