New lookup tables typically contain more records, however if the target table will have more records than the new source you may just delete the rest.

Hi Nick,

I've ran a test. I just copied file from one place to another and was able to open table just fine. May be I was incorrect in my original assumption, that it should not work this way... I'll run more tests on Monday to be sure, that simple copy works...

BTW, did you talk with Michel about the problem, we discovered yesterday with Account Setup?
