 Problems Upsizing To MSDE With Linked Tables

I have three linked tables, all one to many in a typical Orders db...

Users > Orders > Order Items

Table Orders just won't upsize, it fails everytime.
Even if I break it's link and try to upsize it on it's own!

It's fields are as follows....

UserID2 (Long Int, foreign key)
OrderID (AutoNum, PK)
OrderTitle (text)
OrderDate (no format specified).

It will upsize th etable on either side of it.
I've a feeling it has something to do with the PK field, buttable Users has one and upsizes ok.

I'm doing a simple 'upsize and link tables' to MSDE from Access 2000 and not creating a project file.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks

Ok...silly question, do you have proper primary key fields setup?

Select * from users where clue > 0

By 'proper' do you mean autonumbers?

If so then yes, Users and Orders have autonumber (PK) fields.

I've just tried something else....

If I break th elink between Users and Orders then Orders and Items will upsize OK, so the problem seems to be in the link between Users and Orders(?)

Update....

Now it won't upsize at all if I break the links, however it will upsize if I change the table name

bit of a wild guess but perhaps either the word Order or Items in your Order Items table are reserved words somewhere within the Upsize process and thus 'confuses' the upsizing wizard ?!
