Import "Contacts" Tables from 500 MDBs

All,

Can anyone point me towards the easiest technology or technique for:

Importing a table with the same name (Contacts) from 500 different
databases, all with different names. (I am in control of what the MDB
will be named, so I could name them 101.MDB, 102.MDB, etc.)

I'm an intermediate Access user, and I'm reading posts now to see if I
can find the answer, but there's a wealth of information, and I have
someone standing outside my door tapping their foot.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Patrick

Thanks, Guys -

In the end, it turned out it was easiest to have the export done in
ASCII Windows format, resulting in numerous text files, and then
dusting off the DOS "copy" command to copy them all together into one
file, then import the file into a table in Access.

Thanks again.

Hi everybody, I am a XSLT beginner and the following problem really makes me crazy ! I have a main "contacts.xml" document which contains references to several contact data XML files. My aim is to process the contacts in a single-pass XSLT process. That is why the "document()" function is what I need. I call the "document()" XPath function from a "for-each" instruction.

Why does '*select count(id) from "tblContacts"'* do a sequential scan when the field '*id*' is indexed using a btree? MySql simply looks at the index which is keeping a handy record of the number of rows. Can anybody explain how and why postgres does this query like it does? Many thanks

If I wanted to be able to copy all of the tables in an existing database called Original.mde to another database called New.mde from a button click event in Original.mde, is there an easy way of coding it without naming every single table in Original.mde.

Hello! I think, I have one simple question for you guys, but I don't get the answer by myself! I would like to import all "Outlook - Contacts" into my application and when I use "foreach" it works! But with "Outlook 2002" I must use a "for - Loop" and that is my problem! I have three contacts in Outlook and when I import the "contacts", it gives me everytime only two contacts!

Hi, does anybody know how to import Outlook contacts into an Access data base using vb.net 2005? I don't know how to begin. I have a VB.net 2005 application from which I handle a MS Access database. My Access database has various tables, like company, person etc. I would like to enable a user to import automatically his Outlook contacts.
