    I apologize for the vagueness 🙂

    What I have is table1 which has been imported externally with 4 fields including an (AccountDescription) field

    srvnameAccountAccountDescriptionDATE_CREATION

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I need to be able to copy only 3 fields from another similar table whenever a new record is added as less the (AccountDescription) ,the data in this field is manually entered by me

    srvnameAccount DATE_CREATION

    I hope it's clearer

    I will go with no. At least to me it is much less clear than it was previously. ddl for the two tables and an explanation would go a long way here.
