I have an MS SQL database that I need to convert to Access, or export to Excel (which I can later import into Access). There seem to be lots of options.

Does anyone here recommend one over the others?

Thanks

Why do you want to do this? Depending on the size of your database, moving it to Access is just begging for problems.

My thoughts exactly. My recommendation: stay in SQL Server.

And, if you really need to, connect to the sql server via odbc from access. But I agree, stay on the sql server!

I agree, stay on the sql server, and if you really need to migrate your database, migrate it to another platform (access is poor), you can use a very useful tool called DbSchema.
