You can use DTS(Data Transformation Services wizard ) and import the Access 97 Database.

For providing New Primary keys and constraints either you can use Enterprise Manager of Sql Server and do that in design mode or better use Alter statment. Check for "Alter Table" in BOL. it will give you the Syntax with good examples on how to use it, i would suggest you to use Alter Table statement.

If you want to retain any or most of your current keys, indexes, and relationships, you should use the Access add-in for Upsizing to SQL Server. DTS will not preserve this information (at least it didn't in version 7.0).
