Re: Download directly to a Access db file

Mike,
The way I've done it in the past is copy the database file to a source
physical file
(a physical file with a file type of *SRC instead of *DATA) using *CVTSRC in
the
record format field mapping option of CPYF. Then FTP the source physical
file to the PC.
