Well I'm rather new here.. but what i'd like to know
is that.. is your DB one you've created or is it an
existing one??
If you've created it, you must create your conduit so
as to transfer your data to your desktop at the right
place..
If its an already created database, just follow Mike's
solution..
Jay.
