Changing the database from MSAccess to MSSQLServer.

Hello all,
I got a application which is developed using VB6.0 as front end and
MS-Access as backend. Now i would like to change the database from MS-Access
to MS-SQLserver.
How do I change the databse from MS-Access to MS-SQLServer?

You don't say which version of SQL Server you wish to upgrade to?
The guys in the Access newsgroup tend to have their own opinons regarding
the Access upgrade wizard so you may want to ask in there!
The upgrade wizard may provide enough to upgrade your database but then you
should look at tuning and re-writing the code so that it is more compatible
with SQL server, such as choosing more appropriate data types etc.
As an alternative you can do this manually and piecemeal using the Import
Wizard in SQL server (i.e DTS/SSIS).
Before you try anything make sure that you have a recoverable backup. It
will be worthwhile honing the upgrade on a separate system before attempting
anything on the live database.
