https://communities.sas.com/t5/Microsoft-Integration-with-SAS/Retrieving-data-from-MS-Access-via-DDE/m-p/9325#M334 Hello<BR /> <BR /> The title of my post says it all! <BR /> <BR /> Is it possible to retrieve data from an Access database into SAS via DDE. I can already do this with Excel, so I'm hoping it is possible.<BR /> <BR /> If it is possible, does anybody have some sample code?<BR /> <BR /> Many thanks.<BR /> James Wed, 08 Jun 2011 13:42:17 GMT JamesNewcombe 2011-06-08T13:42:17Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/Microsoft-Integration-with-SAS/Retrieving-data-from-MS-Access-via-DDE/m-p/9325#M334 Hello<BR /> <BR /> The title of my post says it all! <BR /> <BR /> Is it possible to retrieve data from an Access database into SAS via DDE.
