Tool needed to convert Msaccess local tables to sql 2000 tables.

I can get the data to sql 2000 ok.
My question is how to get the query that is looking locally for a table called customers and it is not there anymore.
It is now an external link called owner_customers in a sql database somewhere.
How do I get all my queries and forms to point to the new table?

Hmmmmmmmm,
Random (and incomplete) thoughts.
Generally, one of the major rationales for conversion to SQL Server is the 'efficiency' of having only results sets sent over the network. Leaving queries in the FE (Ms. A) totally defeats this goal.
How one would address the SQL Server db is somewhat dependent on the connection mechanisim. SQL Server tables may be directly linked, or 'connected' through several methods, including DAO, ADO, RDO, DNS, ... the capabilities and mechanics of each method vary, thus you need to have some understanding of the advantages (and corresponding disadvantages) of each.

There is never time to do it right but there is always time to do it over
