Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to export a universe to MS Access? And how I can do this?

Regards,
Katrien
 
Not sure what you mean by exporting a universe to MS Access. A universe is a semantic layer on top of a database that could be of any type - Access, SQL Server etc.

My question is Why do you want to do this? Perhaps this might give a better understanding of what you are trying to achieve
 
Ms Access supports a sort of E/R tool called 'relationships'. Graphically this looks like a universe in that you are able to establish joins between tables (or between tables and queries). However, it is little more than that (sort of query-build aid). You cannot create universe-specific objects (calculated objects etc), contexts and such in this way.

Are you looking for such a thing within Access or do you want to migrate data to Access itself?
