Default Upgrading Access 2003 with SQL Server 2005

Hi,

I am using Access 2003, and I was considering getting SQL Server 2005
instead of Jet. Are there significant problems with doing this(as in, will
tables not append or update correctly, etc.) I could not follow the
discussions on this forum about the topic so I was hoping someone could give
me the pros and cons of doing this.

Thanks so much,
Amin

Default Upgrading Access 2003 with SQL Server 2005

Searching Google for "upgrade Access database SQL Server" should get you
lots of info. It's been discussed many times.

Basically, there's no reason to upgrade an existing db unless you need some
of the additional SQL Server capabilities, for example, triggers, stored
procedures, remote access, more capable SQL processor, larger database size,
support for more than 100 users, online backup, etc.

Changing the backend database requires work and some of your existing code
or SQL will probably need modification. Why are you considering the change?
