Export a certain number of records
- Thread starter lb1
- Start date
Two options (that I can think of):
1. To use a query I'd use the "Top" statement...then you can select how many records the query actually pulls. You'd have to do some work to get it to pull the middle section of data (ie not the first set and not the last set), but it could be done.
2. I think I'd go with doing this in code...it wouldn't be hard, just loop through however many records you want and export them to a text file as you go.
Hope that helps.
