Hi,

I remember talking to you in the CB about this today.
Without being sure what you alredy have code wise to do this its hard to say.
Please post an example so we can be sure.

If we are still talking about exporting all tables as csv files you first want to get a list of all the tables.
The Access (yuck) SQL to return all table names is:

SELECT MSysObjects.Name
FROM MSysObjects
WHERE (((MSysObjects.Flags)=0) AND ((MSysObjects.Type)=1));

With Flags being zero you get only user defined tables, none of the Access (yuck) system tables.

That should get you started. Once you have the list of tables you should be able to dump it as a csv file quite easily.
I will check later tonight to see if you have posted the code you are using.

Hope this helps

Martin
