MI - Sending data to an ODBC database

[Graham Smith]

Dear all,   I may be missing something very simple here, but is there a way to 'reverse-link' a MapInfo table into an ODBC  database?   What I mean by that is - instead of linking a table from an ODBC source into MapInfo, I want to read a native (not linked) MapInfo table into an ODBC database (the db is Access97)   The table is a table of retail outlets, and I want to automate the process of populating a table of retailer information, from within my MapInfo application, into the Access database   All I can think of is to loop through the MI table creating temporary variables, and use these to send an insert command to the ODBC database for each record - very time consuming for 50,000 records. Any pointers more than welcome.   Cheers Graham Smith
