Hi,
I want to upsize a db from Access to SQL Server.
I have a version of Access 2000 that has not got the Upsizing Wizard add-in loaded, and can't find the install disc. Does anyone know if it is downloadable, and if so, from where?
Thanks
I have inherited some 4 SQL servers running 6.5 and 7.0
Some of the servers have MS Access Installed and some
have an "upsizing to SQL Server" wizard under the MS
Access TOOLS/Add-Ins/.
Some do not. I need to locate where this utility comes
from. I think it must come from the 6.5 or 7.0 SQL Server
Install CD.
Does anyone know for sure?
Thanks,

Hello guys,
I am not sure if this is appropriate forum to ask but I have the folowing problem:
My client has MS Access database with about 116 tables in it. They need to transfer all tables to MS SQL server and keep application in working mode :) so far so good. I decided to use MS Access Upsizing wizard to do the job and this is the reason I am writing now... when the wizards proceeds (I am moving to SQL 2005) about 50/116 tables it just stops without warning or error in report... The only error I got is that some tables has no unique index and they cannot be updattable.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thank you in advance
I am using the Upsizing Wizard to create a copy of an Access database as a SQL Server database. The original .mdb is 14 mb. The resulting MSSQL database is 72 MB. Why the huge increase in size?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHere is an extract from the Acc2Sql2.doc >>
By default, the Upsizing Wizard
transfers all indexes as nonclustered indexes. You can modify the Upsizing
Wizard to transfer the primary key index to a clustered index. To make this
change, start Microsoft Access and open the upsizing wizard library database.
For Microsoft Access 95, the filename is Wzcs.mda. For Microsoft Access 97, the
filename is Wzcs97.mda. When the database is open, click the Modules tab and open the
UT_ModUserConstants module. Search down to the UT_CLUSTERED constant. Change
the default value from False to True.
<<< end quote
Question: I am using ACCESS 2002 upsize wizard, I searched my computer for *.mda and could not find any wzcs*.mda. How do I set it so that it creates clustered-index instead of non-clustered-index?
Hi
I have an Access 2000 Database which I am upsizing to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The Database has 29 tables and 60 stored queries. Each time I upsize to SQL Server the tables come in fine but non of the queries are imported.
All of the queries are very simple Select, Insert, Update and Delete Queries with nothing special in them.
I have tried using the upsizing wizard in Access 2003 and also the SQL Server 2005 Migration Assistant for Access.
Is there anything special I need to do in the migration assistant to ensure that the queries are imported as well.
Cheers

I need to upload a very large access database to sql
2005. Do I break this down by tables, queries or what? Will
it take a long time. I believe that database is 3488,888 kb in
size. Thank youDee
A few days ago I installed SQL Server 2005 Express edition and successfully used the upsizing wizard to convert a MS Access database to SQL Server database. Today I found I could get VB.Studio Express. The instructions said to delete SQL Server Express and .NET before installing VB Studio because it would re-install them both. I faithfully did that but since then I have been unable to get the upsizing wizard to work again. I have uninstalled SQL Server and re-installed it but still cant get it working. From SQL Server Configuration manager I can confirm that Shared Memory and TCP/IP protocol are both enabled for both protocols for clent and protocols for SQLEXPRESS Both the SQL Server and the SQL Browser are running. And from SQL Server Surface Configuration I can confirm that OPENROWSET AND OPENDATASOURCE SUPPORT is disabled; CLR Registration is disabled; OLE AUTOMATION is enabled; and xpCommandshell is disabled.
When I run the upsizing module it goes through the motions but the report at the end says "table was skipped or export failed" for each of the tables in the database.
I have looked everywhere I can think of to try to find a solution but no one so far has been able to help.
I am in the process of porting all of my Access 2003 databases to SQL Server. I started with my smallest database, which has only two tables. I have run the wizard five times, with different settings, but every time it only imports the table structure without the data.
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here? Also, I have created several databases which I can't use, named InstructorsSQL, InstructorsSQL1, InstructorsSQL2, etc. I deleted the database files, but the names are apparently still in the system, since SQL Server won't allow me to use the same name again. How can I get rid of these old names.
Thanks,
Mike
This is my first post ever so forgive me if this is too basic a question.
I have an Access 2000 database that I'm trying to make into a SQL 2005 Express database. Both databases are on the same machine (I've given up with the networking of this) and, after straightening out several problems I've ran into one I can't seem to fix.
Using the Upsizing Wizard in Access 2000 I try to connect to SQL 2005 Express but I keep getting this error: http://www.paulmauer.com/SQL%20connection%20error.doc
SInce both programs are on the same machine I don't understand what is happening. Any help would be appreciated.

I have four complex Access 97 Databases which I need to upsize to SQLServer 7. The first thing I did was convert them to Access2000 because I was told that the upsizing wizard wal great. When I ran the wizard the report said that the queries couldn't be upsized because they had criteria which referred to a textbox on a form and that SQLServer couldn't handle this. When I remove the criteria, the queries seem to upsize very nicely. Dows anyone have a way to get the criteria information from the form to the query without having to do a major rewrite of database?
View 2 Replies View RelatedUnfortunately I have not the faintest idea where to begin!
I have an existing project relying on an Access database
and using ASP to run queries etc.which has a requirement
to be upsized to run on SQL server.
This leads me to a couple of questions,
1)Do I have to rewrite the database / asp completely for
use with SQL?
2)Can I simply upsize the Access database to SQL and continue to
run my existing asp?
I feel completely out of my depth here and help or pointers as to
where to start would be much appreciated!
I'm quite new to MS SQL and I don't really have a clue in what I am doing. I set up an evaluation of SQL 2005 to help me create a DB locally for testing an development.
I would continue to use Access, but the db is quite large and has 18 tables with lots of relationships. It also has anywhere from 20 to 50 concurrent users at one time, so therfore I am getting a lot of "Too Many Client Tasks" errors.
I tried using the Upsizing Wizard from access, but everytime I try to create a new DB in SQL, I get an error saying "Overflow". Thats it, no more, no less. If it said more I could possibly troubleshoot, but I have no idea what this means. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Does someone know where I can go to get help? I'm lost, so any help will be much appreciated.
Hi,
We have a document tracking application at my company which is extremely slow to load up and causes delays when staff log into their machines. This is because its launched from the login script. The application has an Access DB as the backend and is getting quite full which is why I think the performance is so poor.
My question is, can I upsize the DB to SQL server and link the tables into Access to improve performance?
I wasn't sure if this would make that much of a difference.
Thanks in advanced!
I keep getting the warning I don't have administrative privilege but I'm the only user on the computer and have verified in vb that I am the administrator.
Can somebody help?

Hi There,
We need to upsize serveral MS Access DB's to SQL Server. Herefor we use the standard upsize wizard from MS.
However, this tool does not convert all query's and functions.
Expample.
An standard query with an inner join will nog be upsized because access uses an different SQL statement order.
Does anybody knows a good tool with wich we can easier upsize the DB's

Hi,
I just built a site and found out that the hosting company does not support MS Access, but does support MS SQL ODBC.
I have never used MS SQL, nor know how it works.
I
followed the directions to upside my MS ACCESS DB to MS SQL DB and I am
waiting on a login and password from the hosting company.
Do I have to have MS SQL software on my computer for it work?
Do I need to keep my computer online in order for my site pages to connection with the MS SQL DB?
I just don't get how it works.
I am very new at this and I am trying to understand the fundamentals of how it all works.
All help is appreciated.
Hello,
I have sucessfully installed SQL Express, configured it for remote acess, created a working ODBC connection and can link tables from Access to SqlExpress. I am now trying to upsize an access database to SqlExpress. When I click "Use existing database" I get an Overflow error, no explanation is the wizard expecting like named tables with elements?
Any help appreciated.

I am upsizing an Access 2003 database to SQL 2005 (SP2)
I frequently use the criteria forms![formname].[fieldname] in Access queries to open reports or forms in Access but cannot find an SQL equivalent. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
Many thanks in advance

We are moving from Access 2003 to a hosted SQL Server (2005). In the process of uploading the data, we overloaded the log files, to the point we can't do anything additional. Questions:
1) is there a way to turn off the log file when uploading the info? and then turn it back on once all data is in place?
2) is there a way to delete the existing log file? From my research, it looks like command for Vers 7 was "BACKUP LOG <dbname> WITH NO_LOG". But I can't find reference to this in the on-line books.
Can someone bail us out?
Thanks

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am upsizing a number of Access 2003 databases to SQL Server 2005 with Access Project front ends. Access Tables all upsize OK, some Queries upsize to SQL Views, some to SQL Functions and some get skipped completely. I have fixed up data type issues with Yes/No and Date/Time fields.
I would like all my Access Queries to be SQL Views. Some queries may have calculated fields and I suspect this is one of the issues. The only log in the report states 'Query "QueryName" failed to upsize'. Where should I start looking.
Any ideas on this please.
Thanks,

Is there a way to upsize tables from access to sql server if the tables are already linked in Access from other locations?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow do you free up locks when there are not enough locks available to perform a large write of records to a table from Access97.
I have tried using the Access97 Upsizing wizard, appending data from Access97 to the SQL Server, and Importing from the SQL Server end.
Approx. number of records is 1 million.
Error code is 1204, "SQL Server has run out of LOCKS".
But when we increase the number of locks, we get another error message which says this is using up too much memory.
Please help with this error.

Hello,
I have a question about an error I am getting when upsizing my Access Database back end to SQL Server 7.0. My server has the following configuration:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Service Pack 3
SQL Server 7.0, Service Pack 4, OLAP Services Service Pack 3
Microsoft Office 2000, Service Pack 2
When I attempt to upsize my database, the first four tables are upsized successfully, but the fifth table has the following error in a window that pops up called "Errors from Server":
SQL that Caused Error(s):
UT_CopyData
Error(s):
Server Error 0: Timeout Expired
The table that is having the error is very large, with 240,972 records. I have tried to perform the upsizing after cutting the size of the table down to only 20,000 records, and the error does not occur.
I would like to know if there is a timeout parameter in SQL Server 7.0 that I can configure that would keep this timeout error from occuring while upsizing my database with the full table of 240,972 records. I have already tried setting "remote login timeout" = 0 and "resource timeout" = 100000, but neither of these has helped. Thank you very much for any advice you can provide me!
Take care!

I've created a number of very large databases in Ms Access that I would like to upsize to SQL Server Express. I changed the default data directory location to point to a separate drive with over 400GB of free space on my home pc. However, everytime I try to upsize or link databases using the MS Access Upsizing Wizard the data is saved in the Data directory on my current hard drive and is not saved in the default location I specified. If I create a new database in SQL Express it is saved to the new location. Any ideas on how to force upsizing or uplinked data to go to the new default data location?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to upsize an Access DB to Sql Server. The upsizing wizard runs fine when I try it locally to Sql Server Express 2005.
When I try to upload it to our remote server, I keep getting a bunch of errors
"Server Error 15135: Object is invalid. Extended properties are not permitted
on 'dbo.<table>.<field>', or the object does not exist."
I googled the error but all I could find was a change in coding to correct it. Since this is a Microsoft Wizard, I can't change any coding.
Any ideas on what is causing it, how to correct it?

Hello,
I have an Access 2003 application that uses a query to supply sorted data to a combobox on a form. This bit works fine.
I've upsized to SSE and have now got a few learning opportunities! Can anybody suggest how I can get the same functionality in the upsized/SSE version? Do I need a stored procedure or a view (or something else) to deliver sorted data? As you can tell, what I know about SQL Server wouldn't cover a postage stamp! Any recommendations for good books on the subject?
TIA for any help.

Hi Folks,
I have an access 2007 data base for document control and it saves the received documents in a table in a attachment field type, I tried to upsize it to SQL Server 2005 but after upsizing realized that this field type is not supported by 2005 so I downloaded the SQL Express 2008 and installed it as it has this enhancement but Access 2007 doesn’t recognize the server for upsizing.
I appreciate you help
