Importing attribute information to SQL data base
(OP)
We currently export attribute information into excel. Does anyone have any recommendations on exporting to access or SQL database?

RE: Importing attribute information to SQL data base
The express tools are too limited for what we require and to be perfectly honest are very crude. We currently use a third party application called Excellink which exports & imports backwards and forwards from autocad & excel very successfully but we would like to pull the information to a data base to be used in a number of other areas of the business.
Do you know of any third party software out there?
RE: Importing attribute information to SQL data base
I'm too sure of any software you can purchase to do what you want, but this is a FAQ I wrote on exporting the attributes out to an Access database (http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=5800), going the other way isn't too difficult. Take a look and if you need any more help by all means post back.

RE: Importing attribute information to SQL data base
Checked out your FAQ, great insight and well worth posting the information. Spent the last few days crawling the net and playing round with some code, getting a feel for it now. The only problem is its given me other ideas. I hope I haven't created a monster.
Thanks again.
