Default Using two tables to append to another table - Help!

I'm using two unrelated tables to append another table.
Each time I run the query, it adds the correct
information, but does it twice.

Table1: Employee ID, and other employee info
Table 2: Survey code, and other survey into
to append to
Table 3:

Table 1 and 2 do not have a "join".

It sounds like you really want to do this in two steps
which means table 1 will do the append (meaning to add new
records to table 3), then do a seperate update query
(meaning to change the fields that were not previously set
with the new information from table 2).

For example: Insert new record for employee with all the
table 3 defined fields - using data from table 1.

Then, modify that same record (only fields that pertain to
table 2) with table 2 data.

So the two steps are completely different query modes -
insert vs update.
