Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks Warren There are a number of apps and plugins to Access and scripts that do this. Have a look on the MySQL website, under 'contributed' or something like that. Be aware, however, that some of them make 'interesting' decisions about what column types to use. Carefully review their source before using them yourself; even more so if your customers will be the ones using the app. -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks Warren I have read posts about implimentations of this. You can easily grab the table structure using VBA and then connect to MYSQL to create and import row by row (or even out to a CSV with a text file for the table schema). PHP could do the same, but I do not know if you can get the table structure as easiliy. I guess the main question is, do you want to keep field types, or just quickly push the data over. --- Chris McKeever If you want to reply directly to me, please use cgmckeever--at--prupref---dot---com http://www.prupref.com Prudential Preferred Properties www.prupref.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
