Migrate Access to SQLserver

[NTC]

Does anyone know of a resource that outlines the tasks/issues in migrating an
Access application to SQLserver?

Gracias in advance,

I'll suggest that you search on-line using those terms. There are several
websites covering this topic, plus considerable resources at Microsoft.com.

Good luck!

Gracias in advance,

In addition to Jeff's suggestions, there is an Access newsgroup:

microsoft.public.access.odbcclientserver

devoted to using an Access front-end with a SQL-Server data store. And
another that's specifically dealing with problems that you may have
during/after the conversion:

microsoft.public.sqlupsizing

I'm not sure if you can reach them from a web forum (you probably can), but
you can definitely reach them with a newsreader, like Outlook Express, or
Windows Mail.

One site that I know of is

Tony has links to lots of resources on the subject.

Leigh Purvis has posted an excellent summary at Utter Access as well.

What you can use to migrate Access to SQL is an ETL tool. There are open
source tools available for free.

Talend Open Studio is an open source ETL tool for data integration and
migration experts. It's easy to learn for a non-technical user. What
distinguishes Talend, when it comes to business users, is the tMap component.
It allows the user to get a graphical and functional view of integration
processes. For more information: http://www.talend.com/
