Dear Sylvain,
Could I have possibility to request from you to be more enlightening?
Because to be able to go to the solution I need more detail informations
and
specifications. So,
You are mentioning on my first question that, for sure I can upgrade
Access97 to Access2003 and after then use the SSMA. Please write a little
bit
more details. How can I start?
Exactly question is:
[workstation side]- > [server side]
Could possible to update the existing *.mde database from
*.mde (access97)- > sql2000
to
*.mde (access97) - > sql2005 or
[*.mde (access97)- >*.mde (access2003)] - > sql2000 or
*.mde (access2003) - > sql2005
with the help of SSMA?
For second question: the result of my successfully researching I learn,
when
Microsoft develope new version of some software, advanced version is
configured to support earlier versions. It is enought answare to my
second
question. It is solved.
I am going to waiting your respond over questions?
BR.

A97 is supposed to have an Upsizing Wizard somewhere but I think that
this
was as a separate download. For the rest, sure you can upgrade to A2003
and
then use the SSMA; however, probably that you can do the job yourself if
you
want to: all you have to do is to recreate the tables on the SQL-Server,
link them and then copy the data over using the now ODBC linked tables.
As to your second question about X64, in most cases, you won't have any
problem at all. However, you'll have to try by yourself to be 100%
sure.

Dear All,
I have two questions regarding on Access97.
1. q: We are using an application which have developed on access97, to
prevent db problems (for example, freezing), could possible to migrate
access97 *.mde db from access97 through access2003 to sqlserver2005
with
the
help of "Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistance (SSMA) for Access"?
2. q: Could possible to run the application "which have developed on
access97" in 64-bit Standard Edition of Windows Server 2003?
I am going to waiting your respond over questions?
Best regards.
