I have developed a database in Access, but now need to convert it to SQL 7.0. Please let me know the most efficient method or reference material that will direct me in the procedure.<br>
<br>
Thanks
 
The SQL 7 comes with a way to convert from access to SQL and it works pretty good I have used it several times to convert my databases. You just choose import and pick the database. <p>Steve Hagerman<br><a href=mailto:Admin@asr.cx>Admin@asr.cx</a><br><a href= service's</a><br>
 
Unfortunately, I have Never found an easy way to import queries from Access to SQL 7. I had to convert over 300 queries by hand a while back. It really was a pain, and I always had my boss looking over my shoulder asking &quot;isn't there a better way of doing this?&quot; <br>
<br>
If there was don't you think I'd be using it? (silly boss)<br>

Anyway, though SOME SQL can be easily converted, there are way too many differances. I did find that I could keep some Access Queries &quot;as is&quot;, then do just a little editing, and some fancy ODBC footwork, use SQL to store the data on, and Access as a front end. Thereby saving a LOT of aggravation and time.<br>
