Tim writes "HI SQLTeam
I am trying to upsize my current access db to a sql db but I am experiancing problems.
Firstly I am running MSDE on Windows 2000. My version of Access is now 2000 SR-1 with Access SQL Server readiness updated patch.

Now when I go to upsize my db in the end report all it says is that none of the tables or data has been upsized. I beleive this is because I do not have a proper login for my SQL server. MSDE does not have the Enterprise Manager installed with it so you cant do it that way, how do you create a new login through stored procedures for SQL Server so that I can upsize my database? (Remember Im on Access 2000 all the tutorials I have found regarding this topic use Access 2002 which must have a lot of new SQL features compared with 2000.

Ive also tried the sa null password account but that does not work either.

Any help would be great, this has been a total nightmare for me!"

Open a new access data project, and use the SQL OLEDB provider to connect to your SQL Server database. You will get a connection builder screen when you create the new project.

Then go to Database Tools - Security and add or edit SQL Server users.
