First let me start out by stating for security purposes, we can not have Linked (SQL servers-2008R2. We can not have access to use OPENQUERY or OPENROWSET.We can't have SSIS.
We have 2 SQLServers with identical databases. One is Production. One is test. The originators decided to refresh the test database using DSN and access VBA queries.
Mainly because IT dept takes forever to give us a restore into test and also not all tables are needed to be fefreshed. About 90% get refreshed.
Just basically first delete the tables from the test data base and run the queries on the Access app thatselect/ Insert from the production server to the test database.
Very simple. It took about 4 hours. Well now the testserver has been moved offsite. It takes about 16 hours or more. I understand that Access is doing all the work this way.
