Re: Exporting SPSS Data file into MS Access Table

Thank Victor,
It is simple to IMPORT MS Access data into SPSS (V 14.0) .

Syntax :

GET DATA /TYPE=ODBC /CONNECT=
'DSN=MS Access Database;DBQ=c:\SampleData.mdb;DriverId=25;FIL=MS Access;MaxBufferSize=2048;PageTimeout=5;'
/SQL = 'SELECT Var1, Var2, Var3 FROM '
'`TableSampleData`'
/ASSUMEDSTRWIDTH=255 .

I am using SPSS V14.0 and will like to EXPORT  SPSS data into MS Access without going throuth
the rout of first saving the SPSS data file as a text file :

Syntax :
SAVE TRANSLATE OUTFILE='c:\SampleData File.txt'
/TYPE=TAB /MAP /REPLACE /FIELDNAMES.

and then exporting the text file into Access .

Any advice on this will be very much appreciated.

Thanks
Edward.

What I do is import the SPSS file into Access rather than vice-versa.  You need to have an odbc driver set up for this, but otherwise it's pretty simple.

You can export directly into Acess with SPSS 15.

You need to create a blank database first in Access

Then use: SAVE TRANSLATE /TYPE=ODBC

You can use the wizard to create the syntax.
