How to set MS Access as Data Flow Destination

I can't seem to find a way to make the Data Flow Destination in a Business Intelligence Visual Studion Project output an MDB file for Microsoft Access.

Hi Bart,

Data flow destination can be used to output to MDB file for Microsoft Access.

In the OLE DB "Connection Manager: Select "Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider" for the Provider field.
Click on the "Browse" Button next for the "Database File Name" property and Select an existing Microsoft Access Database file. and close that window.

In the OLE DB Destination Editor - for the "Name of the table or the view" property click on "New" and it will show the table format for the imported table in access database.

Thanks,

Yes - its possible.

In the "OLE DB Destination Editor" Window - Click "New" for OLEDB Connection Manager.
In the "Connection Manager" Window - Select "Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider".
Select an existing Access Database file using the "Browse" button for "Database File Name and close the "Configure OLE DB Connection Manager" window.

In the "OLE DB Destination Editor" - Click "New" for "Name of the table or the view" - it will show the table structure of the imported data. Make changes to the table / column names if required.

Clcik on "Mappings" and check the default mapping for the imported columns. Click OK.

You should be good to go from here

Thanks,
Loonysan
