Question

I have a SQL Server database, i need to export all of the data into an Access mdb that users can download. What’s the simplest way of doing this from C#?

I realise I could have a blank (but with schema in place) mdb, and when i want to export I could copy it, then read all the data from SQL Server into the mdb via datasets, but that seems like a right faff. Is there an easier way?

Thanks

Could you create a DTS Package to do the export, then write a C# app to execute the DTS package, the user then just needs to execute your C# app? You could also set the DTS package to run automatically if you don’t want user interaction.
