[SOLVED] Saving report to Microsoft Access Table

I often save the output of a FEX report to a Microsoft Excel file using the following command:

ON TABLE SAVE FILENAME
\\Item_Info.XLS FORMAT EXCEL

Is there a syntax to save it as a Microsoft Access file?

Check out the documentation:

quote:
Reference: FORMAT SQLMAC
Description: Creates a Microsoft Access table, if you have the Microsoft Access Data Adapter and permission to create tables.

Use: For processing in a database application.

Supported with the command: HOLD

This works for me:

 
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT COMT


Then, import the file from within Access.

Thanks to both of you.

I find that I do not have the Microsoft Access Adapter.

The PCHOLD FORMAT COMT works great for me.


My problem was that my company only uses Excell 2003 and the report output is greater than 65,000 rows. Saving to COMT allows me to use the data in Access.
