    If what you want is just concatenate based on order, the easiest way is to add a new column in each table call it Id for example and assign each row a unique number or just set it to an identity column type and then you can run the below query.

    You new tables would look like

    enter image description here

    Query that will give you what you want.

    select ori.origin, dest.dest 
from tbl_origin ori
inner join tbl_destination dest on dest.id = ori.id

    If you dont want to add an Id/identity column then you have limited options in Access I am afraid, at least in SQL Server you can use temporary tables etc to get around, but in Access I would think its almost not possible, easiest option is to add a numeric column
