I agree with your comments but I normally use the upsizing wizard which preserves everything from access rules, contraints to pk and auto numbering.
This case is slightly different in the sense that the client's access db is sitting on his desk top.
So trying to export data using DTS to his access db won't work.
What we are trying to do is use access macro to export data to a text file outside of his desktop and then export data from there to our sql server that is sitting on a remote site.
My problem is understanding the steps in using a macro.
So far, having followed the example from the access help menu is causing an error that says I "cannot update the database because it is a readonly db"
I don't understand this error because:
1, I am not updating the access db and
2, I can write to it.
Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.
