K Kevin3NF Jul 26, 2005 #2 Yes, it is possible. It may well be beyond the scope of a newsgroup posting though.. For starters, there is an Access Upsizing wizard that will do some of the work for you, but not all of it. Or, you can import the tables from SQL Server DTS services. Its up to you whether to leave your queries in Access or convert them to SQL Server stored procs.... Once you move the tables, you have the option of sticking with Access .MDB for the fornt-end or an Access Data Project (.adp).
