Loading data into a table

I have data collected for road signs and I am trying to load that data into the Local Government Information Model.  Our current setup is a Post feature class and a separate Sign feature class which are linked with a Post ID to support a 1-M relationship.  It appears the Local Government Information Model contains a Pole feature class related to a Sign table instead of feature class.  Attribute structure and domains are fairly similar and not a problem to this point.

The first step was to load our Post data into the Pole feature class.  I accomplished this through ArcCatalog using the Load Data... feature. The issue I am having is how to move the Sign feature class attribute table into the Sign table of the Local Government Information Model.  Attempting to load the Sign feature class information into the Sign table produces the message 'Cannot load into non simple data'.  I'm assuming this is because of the numerous relationships associated with the Sign table.  Is this is the case and if so what would be the work-around?  I've tried to break the relationships associated with the Sign table but so far the same messaged is prompted when attempting the Load.

You probably already figured this out or went a different route but if you have not, and there are others wondering the samething, then you want to go to the ArcToolbox> Data Management Tools> General> Append tool.  The "Append" tool allows you to load data into tables.
