Problem Note 52835: Exporting to Microsoft Access files puts incorrect data into the file when there are dates in the first column
When you are using the ACCESSCS engine to create MDB or ACCDB files, the data that is written to Microsoft Access files might be incorrect.
The problem occurs when there is a large volume of data and the first column of the SAS data written to the Microsoft Access file contains a date. The problem occurs because of a buffering issue in the SAS® PC Files Server itself.
To resolve the problem, you need to control the buffering that is used to export to this type of file. Use the DBDSOPTS='Insertbuff=1' parameter as shown below:
proc export data=sasdata
outtable="my-table"
dbms=accesscs replace;
database='c:\my-directory\my-file.accdb';
dbdsopts='Insertbuff=1';
quit;

For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed

Microsoft MDB and ACCDB files can contain incorrect information when writing large volumes of data using the ACCESSCS driver. The problem occurs because of buffering problems in the SAS® PC Files Server.
