| In essence:1) Build a DTS task - its pretty much Point & Click in Enterprise Manager, unless you have something particularly complicated2) Once you have built & tested your DTS job you can schedule it to run as often as you likeKristen |

| "i didn't see that part in job scheduling part of Enterprise"Try this in Enterprise Manager:Right click NorthwindChoose EXPORTData source = NorthwindDestination = Choose your Server again, and password etc, and Northwind [again]Choose COPY TABLEPick CATEGORIES. Make SURE you change the "Destination" to "TEMP_Categories" or somesuch [i.e. a NEW, non-existant, table name]. Make sure the Destination Icon has a Sun-burst [indicating a NEW table will be created]Now then ... Instead of choosing RUN IMMEDIATELY choose "Schedule DTS package for later execution", press the [...] button and you can set up any schedule you like.Now cancel out of this without actually executing it because I've just used this as an example exercise(As an alternative choose "Create DTS package" instead of "Run now" or "Schedule" above; then under Data Transformation : Local pacakages you should see your package. Right click it and you will find "Schedule Package")If that did NOT work for you ask some questions and I'll try to sort out whatever setup & configuration problems you have.If it did work it seems to me that you need some study books to get a better basic grasp of the tools you are using. Speaking for myself I devote time here to trying to help people who are stuck, but for the rest my consultancy and training rates are $ignificant!Kristen |

| Thank you, I actually did these just fine with from sql to access so many times, and you are right I was so focus on Run now option I wasn't even seeing schedule later time, it will be okay. Do you know if I choose OLEDB Outlook search option to from sql to outlook import, what would I put the data sources on connection tab? connectionstring maybe? this way I can transfer my data from sql to outlook |
