Hi,
I want to use BCP to export a table out to MS Access.

I would use something like this to expot out to a text file.
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell'bcp "Select * from test..emp" queryout "c:\dept.txt" -c -T -x'

Does anoyone know how to do this to Access instead of a text file?
Thank you

Would it not be better to create a simple SSIS package to transfer the data via a ODBC connection?

Otherwise i'd look at using the openrowset command to connect to the Access Db and then run an insert statement

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me. But as you can see, in the above statement is just a single and very short line of code, and anything that you would do in SSIS would be more involved. I would be interesed in using openrowset but I would not know how to do that either. Would you be able to show me an example?
Thank you
