Is there a way of converting database or maybe just the tables into different file format for faster transfer.

Thanks for your time


Do you really need to send all 30 000 records? Can you instead send only relevant parts and have a central consolidation process?

Also, zip works wonders with access mdb files. I customarily get it down to 5-10% of its original size.

30 000 records is not that many -- try compacting to clear some 'dead' space.
