Greetings! I've been lurking looking for ADP tips from this site for some time trying to crack a problem I have. Here's the run down:
The app I'm designing must take input from several flat files. I've designed tables to match the flat file spec and it transfers properly while using a role that has create tables permission.
However, I'm trying to make it so any user can perform this action and a typical docmd.transfertext requires the create statement for some reason. Thus if I attatch an import spec I believe I can avoid the create call on SQL server.
Questions:
Is there any way to programmatically create an import spec within VB or another work-around that skirts the create table call without using the import wizard?
Is there a better way to upload than docmd.transfer text for CSV's?
On a completely unrelated note, the CSV transfer time is attrocious, does anyone have recommendations? Perhaps load the file into an array and upload that way?
