Kashem, Access has an up-sizing wizard that you can use for this. You don't necesarily need to modifiy your queries, as Access does the query processing locally. I think Jim may be referring to using Access Data Projects, which require SQL-Server compliant statements. If you have the time, an ADP will offer better performance and maintainability than the standard Access database (MDB). Tim |

When you use the upsize wizard, you might want to consider doing it in two phases. One, move the tables to another access file and upgrade it. Two, begin the migration process of your procs and begin modifying your forms to use vba and ADP.MeanOldDBAderrickleggett@hotmail.comWhen life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA. |
