[AccessD] Article on upgrading

If you are moving from Access 2007 or 2010 and are using the attachment
field type it will not upsize. I had a client who required this type of
functionality and had to create similar functionality in SQL Server. As an
aside we were having issues with the form with the attachment field being
very slow in opening and updating. After getting rid of the attachment field
and moving to a SQL server back end there was a significant increase in
responsiveness.

I'll be writing about upgrading to SQL Server and I'd like to include as
many of you in it as possible -- you'll get credit and a link -- it's a nice
thing to show the boss and clients. 

The angle is -- questions you should ask when deciding whether to upgrade an
Access database to SQL Server (Express is Okay too) -- specific to the
decision-making process. Anything you think someone considering the move
should evaluate before doing so -- but I'll be writing it from a "questions
you should ask" perspective. 

It'll be interesting reading for the list too I think, so if nobody objects
-- I see no reason to ask for these responses off list. 

Thanks!
