Hi John,
I also have a frequent (once per week) need to export data from Oracle to two different Access databases, in order to provide the data to other people. I'm using TOAD version 12.10.0.30 (64-bit). I'm also using Office 2013 Professional, 32-bit (Microsoft recommends 32-bit Office for most users). If I read this thread correct, it sounds like one should be able to export to 32-bit Access using 64-bit TOAD? I have not been able to do so, including after copying the DAO file you indicated above. It would really be nice, especially since TOAD can export to 32-bit Excel.
I did not want to "downgrade" my installation of TOAD to 32-bit just to satisfy this weekly requirement, so I created a virtual machine with the same version of TOAD, but with Office 2013, 64-bit. That allows me to export to Access just fine, but I simply have not found a way to export from 64-bit TOAD to 32-bit Access.
If your team is going to look into this for version next, please improve a few issues that are a bit of a pain.
1.) I have two "template" Access database files, which have empty tables with the correct table names, column names and data types. I had to do this because in some cases TOAD was converting numbers to text data type. These templates also include some saved queries for the user. The names are "Drawing_PMP_Report.accdb" and "IRCS_Records.accdb":
If I use the Export Dataset feature, and I need to export to the other database (Drawing_PMP_Report.accdb, in this example), I cannot use the Build Button (blue arrow) to select the database:
If I do, I get a prompt that demands that I replace the database!
No, I do not want to replace it, because it is a saved template. I simply want to select it as the target for an export.
Instead, I have to manually edit the name of the database, by typing it in, as indicated below:
Notice also, in the above image, that the table name is detected (correctly) and I have the option selected to Append rows (if columns match). However, I always get the following confirmation prompt. I have to be careful to click on Append Tables, instead of accidentally hitting Overwrite Tables. Why is the above option not honored?
Thank You.
