i have a table in an access database

this access database is used on a regular basis, basically from 9-5

someone else has a copy of this exact table. sometimes records are added, sometimes deleted, and sometimes data within the records is updated.

i need to update the access database table with the offsite table every hour or so. what is the best algorithm of updating the data? there are about 5000 records.

would it severely lock up the table for a few seconds every hour?

i would like to publicly apologize for my rude comment to david fenton
