HI,
I have a local table that is linked to a txt file. I imported that to the SQL database. But it only put the "snap shot" data into the SQL table. Does anyone know of a way to create the live link between the local table and the SQL table? Or if SQL code could be set up to do that? Any insights would be great.

do you mean update table whenever file changes? if yes, have a look at file watcher task

Yes, I envision ftp-ing a .txt file to the SQL server, then based on that file update the SQL table.

you can use filewatcher to check when it changed and based on this do transfer
