Hello!

Here in the office, we have Access 2003 and MS SQL server. My department has a large Access -DB that is important for all.

For different reasons I must split the Access DB in frontend and in backend. So Frontend in MS Access will contain the user interface and the backend io have to implement into SQL Server.

How to migrate all table from Access to SQL Server?
How to establisch a connection between Frontend and Backend?
What from entire database in Access remains in Frontend?(forms?, vba code?)

Previously I worked only with MS Access, and of SQL server, I have only a few knowledge.

Is there a solution to my problem? What do you advise me?

Thanks!

Dan

You can run simple SELECT queries on SQL Server which will take the data directly from the Access database.

Use the following example:

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'FrontDB',
@provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
@srvproduct = 'OLE DB Provider for Jet',
@datasrc = 'c:\Front.mdb'
GO

SELECT Column1, Column2
INTO NewTable
FROM FrontDB...TableName

You can also use our products for simple daily database tasks on both Access and SQL Server.
