Re: [PCTECH] automagically import a .CSV into Access db table from CL?

["Michael Naughton" <michael_naughton@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The suggestions of using an ODBC link or using a CL program to run a PC
command are both good ones -- depending on your circumstances, either one
should work fine.

Another option, if you've got Visual Basic available, is to write a VB
program that gets the data off the AS/400 and then pumps it into Access.
This would give you a lot of control over how you do it, and you could
fire up the whole process with one click. . . .
