Both of these will be easy to do as a query in Base, although the first is a little tedious, provided that you can get both tables into the same database.
Something along the lines of SELECT * FROM <MasterTable> JOIN <MonthlyUpdateTable> ON Master.IdField = Month.IdField WHERE Master.Column1 <> Monthly.Column1 OR Master.Column2 <> Monthly.Column2 OR ... (The rest of the fields) If you can't get both into the same database, don't use the embedded database (though you wouldn't anyway, would you? ;-) ), And bring them into separate databases and then perform that SQL using the data engine itself, ie not through Base, even if you use Base to get the data there in the first place. For any database worth its salt 2000 records is tiny. For records in one but not in the other SELECT * FROM <One version> WHERE IdField NOT IN (SELECT IdField FROM <Otherversion>) And then do it the other way around.
