Can i append selected data from one data base directly to another without exporting it? That is select and append straight to another.
Edit: Reread the post and realized I missed the statement about selecting records. What is it you want to end up with? A new feature class or records appended to an existing feature class? Are you trying to preserve ObjectID? (You can't for a selection set). What do you consider direct that export does not do?

I want to avoid the time it takes to go through toolbox to merge/append data. So if i could find a way to add newly added data to map to merge with existing data from a different dadabase.
So if i have 1000 utility poles on my map display and i add 5 new gps poles today i want to add them directly from my table of content without i run it through toolbox. Is there a way?
If you have an edit session open inside ArcMap, you can select your 5 gps points, and click on the Edit tab > copy > paste. When you hit paste, it should give you a drop down and you can choose your poles layer to add the selected points to.
