Importing data from SAS to Access

What is the best way to import a database from a third party application like SAS (Statistical Analysis System) for analysis in Access? SAS can export as delimited data, .csv and .txt files.

RE: Importing data from SAS to Access

Hi Jon

Thanks for your question

I suggest that exporting the data from SAS into a text file would be the best approach, as Access has a wizard to import data from text files.

Go to Tools-Import and in the resulting dialog box change the file type to Text File. Select the file and the wizard will guide you through the process

Regards

Stephen

Access tip:

Action queries

Unlike select queries you cannot use action queries as a data source for the use with forms or reports,as they do not return a dataset that can be read.
