There are many examples of connecting via SQL in the SAS/Access manual for the database of choice. <BR /> <BR /> Alternately, you might consider contacting Tech Support for specific help. To send a question to Tech Support, go to <A href="http://support.sas.com/" target="_blank">http://support.sas.com/</A> and in the left-hand navigation pane, click on the link entitled "Submit a Problem".<BR /> <BR /> cynthia Fri, 11 Jan 2008 14:13:10 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/ODS-and-Base-Reporting/Connecting-to-an-External-Database/m-p/6284#M2497 Cynthia_sas 2008-01-11T14:13:10Z
