Hi Susan, For people starting out: I downloaded the brand new Denali CTP3 SQL Server Express yesterday. It is a good place to start for new users as it is fairly light and simple (as express used to be) and was totally painless to install (and that hasn't been the case in the past with SQL server installations. Only been a day so haven't had much time to play, but it has been great so far, at least on a Windows 7 PC. <<http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/future-editions.aspx>> Happy. Cheers Darryl. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Susan Harkins Sent: Friday, 29 July 2011 2:55 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: [AccessD] Article on upgrading 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!
