How do i migrate a database from access 95 to mssql server without having to change how the databse is accessed.

If it is to be changed what would be required.

It depends what you mean when you say "how the database is accessed".

Do you mean that the change is seamless to the end user - or that you don't need to change anything in Access?

If you mean seamless to the end user then you'll be continuing to use access as a front-end. In this case, probably mostly what you'll need to do is:
import all you access tables into SQl Server
recreate SQL Views for each of you access stored queries
link all the SQL tables and views as linked tables in access
review all your code and SQL in access to cope with the new names....

feel free to ask more...

Hey Graz - how come I can't subscribe to this topic?
