Hi there: We're in the middle of getting rid of small and meaningless
databases but I need to move some of them from SQL Server to Access.
Considering that I'm a newbie, wich is the better way to do this.? How I can
move all the information from our SQL Server to Access..?

Any help will be appreciated.

TIA and best regards

Hi Mike thanks for the quick response is just that I have been there, done
that. When I specify Microsoft Access as my destination a message saying:
Could not open the specified file for reading. Make sure that the file
exists, and you have read access to it.

Correct me please if I'm wrong, but this operation should create a new .mdb
file. Am I right.?

Thanks

export the data.

Hi

Use DTS a.k.a SQL Server "Import and Export Data" from the SQL Server Start
Menu

The source is SQL Server, the destination is Access.

Hi

No. Create an Empty DB though Access and use that. SQL Server does not
provide the Access Engine that is required to create the DB, just the
Drivers to be able to consume an Access DB.
