I succesfully imported MS Access into SQL server database. But when the tables are created, the contrainsts are not imported porperly. I am not able to see any primary key contrainsts in SQL server.

It would appear that those using MS SQL Server Management Studio Express will not have the “Tasks / Import Data…” option. I suspect that this is only available in the full version.

The explanation is great, but I am somewhat new to this and need some help. My application is written entirely in Access 2007, with code and database included. Each user has an executable on their PC that connects to this service. I’m looking to spend the money and get a SQL database server, leaving the application in Access and connecting on the backend to SQL. But I have no clue how. You help me please?. Thank you very much

I too need to migrate several tables from Access 2003 to SQL Server 2005. I can easily import the tables into the SQL Server, but I can’t find where to update the connection string.
(Several tables have to stay in Access, so I can’t just run the upsizing wizard).
TIA
