I have a DTS which ihas a link to an MS Access database and was wondering whether it is possible to create an MS Access Query from within the MS SQL DTS ???

Something along the lines of CREATE QUERY [Queryname] AS SELECT * FROM myTable

You can query an msaccess database from within a dts package. You just create the connection and query it. I am doing that as I need to transform data between 2 sql servers and cannot go directly I run a truncate table in the access from the dts package.
Are you using the Wizard or the DTS designer?

Michael,

I know that it is possible to query an MS Access db from SQL DTS - what I need to know is whether it is possible to manipulate the Access mdb itself (ie create an MS Access Query).

Maybe I didn't make my question clear enough....

In SQL Server (and most, if not all heavyweight rdbms) you can create objects (CREATE TABLE, CREATE VIEW, CREATE INDEX, etc). Is this at all possible with MS Access using SQL ?

if you really really want to know the syntax...

take a look at the source code of "TableEditor" (http://www.2enetworx.com/dev/projects/tableeditor.asp), because this ASP app can create tables in an access database.. and considering that its 100% asp-based, then the answer to your question is: absolutely yes

just gotta take a little effort and find out "how" :-)
