Transfer recordset to Access-table

1. "I cannot link the table because it gives me the wrong resultset - some numbers are gone!"
Then why not investigate why this standard approach does not work?
perhaps it is as simple as changing a datatype?

2. "I can of course insert it in a loop, but there must be a faster more pritty way to do it?"
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

If a loop works, then use it...

i understood ur concern, here is a way out i use to do in such a scenario

1. create a linked table
2. create a 'Make Table' query appending all the records from the 'linked table' within the same database

that's all

and now you may refer the new make table for accessing the records of ur sql table

3. in case, u do a refresh, make a delete table to delete the table made in step 2

well, that's the fastest/smartest way u may like

Hi JeffCoachman and Ramanhp: The problem is the linked table not working. I will explain:

I do not have the days to poke around in it. There definitely is something with regional settings/language/data types etc. etc. It works in my colleagues  English version, but not in my Norwegian. What we did was to change the data type in the SQL server to 'money'. When I reconnected to the table the columns that had been changed where empty (except for some places where it was zero?). When I opened the table in design view it showed the correct data type (currency). When I tried to connect using ADO i got the data - so the data is there, but I need to use ADO to get it.

I hoped there was some fast way to say this recordset=source of table ... or something. I tried OPENROWSET which I found on Microsoft’s webpage, but when copying the code I got "MS OLE.Jet.40" is not registered (something like that) and when I googled that error I only found frustrated people and some tip if 32 and 63-bit.

So...in the end I will just loop through the recordset like planned and live with that :)

Thank you both for your comments and please share more thoughts if you have them.

You can also directly transfer data and object using Integration Service of SQL Server.

Thank you PatelAlpesh, I will have a look at it, but since I am in a hurry and this is something completly new I do not know if I will be able to use it this time :)

Do you know of any "easy howto"?

If you need this in a hurry, then try a brute force copy from SQL and Past into Access...

Or copy the SQL to Excel, then bring the Excel into Access.

Well - I need it to run automatically everytime a user runs a report.

Well I looped it using ADO for the SQL server and DAO for the Access-table - it was fast :)

Some times the simplest solution is the best :)
