There are two databases on a network drive. The one database is tied to the administrators who enter new employees into a UserTable. The other database uses the same exact UserTable but of course doesn’t get updated like the table in the admin database unless we do a ‘get external data’ and copy and paste the updated UserTable to the second database.
Is there a way to update this UserTable in Database2 with the one in Database1?

Remove the table from database 2 and create a linked table to the table in database 1

Go to to database 2, select the tables section in the database window. Right click and select Link Tables, browse for database 1, select the table.
Then as soon as a edit/delete/addition to the data in database 1 it is in database 2 as well.
