Re: Converting Access database to SQL server or Informix

Henry, As I understand it, MS is simply uncoupling Access from Jet. Personally, I think this is a perfectly sensible move.

Then there are two relational database engines, Jet and SQLServer, and you use whichever one suits you. That's pretty much what we do now anyway, isn't it? - Rebecca.
