Importing into Access

  • I need to import data into an access database on a weekly basis. Each week I need to create a new table with a with a time stamp in the name. What is the best way of doing this dynamically in the DTS Package?

  • If you are going to do this in DTS you will:

    1. Create

    a) Access DB Connection

    b) Execute SQL Task

    c) ActiveX script Task

    2. Make Workflow(on complete) starting From ActiveX to the Execute SQL Task

    3 on the ActiveX get current date and change the SQLStatement Property of the Execute SQL task as CREATE TABLE YOURTABLENAME (field1 type, ...)

  • Thanks for your help.

    Actually this is exactly how i figured it out. The hard part is determining Object names, but Disconnected edit really helps out in this section.
