I have several dbs I export to Access each month and have not had this problem before. When I try exporting now, I get the message "cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types". I know I can change the data type from varchar to nvarchar to correct this but there are dozens and dozens of tables in these dbs and changing all of them is not an option. Any suggestions first to how to accomplish the export and second why this is suddenly happening. I run SQL Server 2005 Standard and keep my updates current on my OS's and applications.

Thanks,

Dave

These are newly created Access dbs. They are blank.

The Access db's are blank until i export the tables from SQL to them. But I cannot export any tables because of that error. Therefore I cannot open an Access table in design view if there are no tables to open. Thanks for your replies rmiao, but any other ideas?
