Transfer of data from Access to Sybase

I just wanted a summary of the steps involved in transferring data from an access database to sybase database. Are there certain issues that one has to be aware of? I am looking for problems, or concern that may arise from this conversion. Thank you,
Hasan

Humm, I'm not sure that:

The field "Memo" on Ms.Access don't function with Sybase.
Convert field Memo to Text before convert your table to Sybase.

Do you need to just do this once or is this an ongoing need?

You can export the table data in Access to a tab delimited flat-file (column separator = Tab and Sting Deliminter = {None}.

The use the Sybase BCP program to load the data.

If this solution sounds viable I can give specifics on each step if you need assistance.
