Hi Christopher:

Use DTS to import the data but in most cases the queries will have to be
manually re-created into Stored Procedures. Reports, now they are a whole
other ball-game...check out

Subject: [AccessD] One-click upsizing and downsizing of Access to SQL
Serverand back?

This is a strange request.  Bear with me.

I have a client who I am taking from an Access back-end to a SQL Server
backend.  Not having any previous experience with SQL Server, my client is
nervous, and no amount of explaining or references will calm him.  He's
asked me to build some sort of routine so that if the SQL Server goes down,
he can "downsize" back to An Access back-end with a single button click.  He
also wants to be able to re-upsize with a single button click.

If he's willing to pay for the hours, I may as well.  It might turn out to
be a fun project.  ;)

I usually do my upsizing with the Upsizing Wizard.  I am aware of DTS but
have used it only sparingly.

Have any of you done anything like this before?
