Re: Converting Access database to SQL server or Informix

I think that that is best done in a full on intensive over x weeks to get it drummed in and then recap and expand at a more leisurely absorbing pace. >there are depths yet unplumbed in Access and VB when > you consider the way M'soft is expanding COM. Agreed, The push with the release of MS Small Business Server to "proper" networking will move many more databases to SQL Server in even the smaller businesses, and from what I hear of Access 9 SQL is in there too, so the move in that direction is inevitable. Coupled with the free Upsizing tool they are making it as attractive as possible. My guess is to clear the way to bypass Jet. ( but this would leave VB and Access where ?) As you say the push to COM is on. - Hopefully I'll find out the whole story on the 21st. Well, onwards and (Upwards ?).
