    Posted: 18 December 2003 at 10:14am

Hello all.

I need to schedule an overnight task to import some Timberline accounting data (ODBC datasource) into an Access database.  I only need to import 4 or 5 tables, not the whole database, and need to schedule the import for midnight every night.

Is there software out there that does this?  If not, is this relative easy to do myself?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Tony

Just write a macro in access that does your import and the put a command like:
c:\....\msaccess c:\db1.mdb /x macro1
into the windows task scheduler

Can you recommend some resources that show how this is done?

Well I just checked the help file on the syntax so you call msaccess.exe pathtomdb /x macroname
For the Macro itself you can do either a SQL statement or use under Action the Transfer Databse one. I am sure there are further instructions on msdn.com or so.
