I have an Access 2002 database that contains 5 tables and is used by my client's web site. I need to set up a feature that will allow my client to click on a link to download a comma-delimited file of the current version of 1 of the tables so they can import the file into FileMaker Pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

maybe that's why you're asking, but if you've got access you can export the table via the file menu to a csv (comma seperated values) file and you won't need a script for this.

Yes I do know that that is possible. I have set up an admin section for the client to login and in that section I want to let them just click on a link to download the csv file. They have never used Access and I want to make this as easy as possible for them.

then i would suggest that you'll create a macro out of it. just record that action and then see the vba code later on. you just modify it for your needs then. voila: script is ready.
