Slow Access Append Query

Question

I have a query, A , in my ms-access database that takes ~2 seconds to execute. A gives me six fields: Field1 , Field2 , ..., Field6 .

I must append the results of A to a table, T .

I created a query, B , that selects columns from A and inserts them into table T . However, B takes more than 10 minutes to run... Why? and How do I speed-up B ?

Here is the code for B :

INSERT INTO TrialRuns (Field1,Field2,...,Field6)
SELECT A.Field1,A.Field2,...,Field6
From A

Answer 1

Try something like this:

INSERT INTO TrialRuns SELECT * FROM A;

Answer 2

Try;

SELECT A.Field1,A.Field2,...,Field6 INTO TrialRuns FROM A

Note that this may only work if you make sure that the TrialRuns table doesn't exist to begin with, so do a DROP TABLE TrialRun beforehand if it does exist. This should take as long to run as the initial SELECT statement.
