[AccessD] Upsizing ACCDB to SQL Server

[Jim Dettman]

Arthur,

1.  SQL Server Migration Assistant:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssma/sql-server-migration-assistant?vie
w=sql-server-ver15

2. Any Win API calls will need to be updated.    Also any external libs,
.OCX's, Active-x controls, etc.   all need to be 64 bit.   Can give you more
detail on that if you need it.    But if it's all native Access, then you
just switch and a recompile is all that is required if you are distributing
apps as .accde's.  If it's an .accdb, it will re-compile on the fly.

  Note that from Office 2013 and up, you cannot mix and match 32 bit and 64
on the same machine.  It all has to be one or the other.

Jim.

Subject: [AccessD] Upsizing ACCDB to SQL Server

This is actually two related questions:
1. What is the recommended way to upsize an Access ACCDB to SQL Server?
2. The client also wants me to move the app from 32 bit to 64 bit, What
potential problems am I looking at?

Thanks.
