Title: Go Sales and Retailer install on Access DB?
Post by: pimogo on 04 Mar 2011 01:20:19 PM
hello all! given the constraints of our environment, i've been asked to research how to best export  the go sales and retailer sample db into an Access DB. All the preliminary reseach i've made suggests the use of SQL server, etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi there,

SQL Server 200x can export to Access via ODBC without much trouble.

Use the BCP utility

This article is for DTS but the other way around Access to SQL Server

Its not overly difficult to do but it also depends on the version of SQL Server.

hope this helps
Cheers
