John,

By the way, MS has a new upsizing wizard called SQL Server Migration
Assistant (SSMA) for Access.  They have other flavors of SSMA - for Oracle,
etc.

This has been available for a few months - it you're using this it would be
good to know how it works out!  One possible drawback is that MS suggests
that the minimum RAM to run SSMA is 1 Gb!

I have it turned on.  It was installed in the on state (automatic as well)
although the browser wasn't.  I turned the browser on as well.  Basically
Access itself does not see it in the list of available SQL Servers although
it sees a handful of other servers.

Can Access do an upgrade to SQL Server Express?  When I try and run the
upsizing wizard it does not display the local SQL Server Express instance
running on the same machine.
