I am maintaining a pretty large Access 2003 project with a MDB data file

  • 0

I am maintaining a pretty large Access 2003 project with a MDB data file on the server and linked tables. The plan is to upgrade to Access 2007 (or even 2010) and SQL Server as the data storage.

As this is a two-step plan, which of these steps is best done first? Does it make a difference if I first upgrade to 2007, or should I link to SQL first?

    It doesn’t matter.
    I would go to access 2007, let the 2007 do the migration, check everything, and then go for the sql server.
    But – nothing will happen if you take the other way.
    I think it will be easier to disconnect the mdb and connect to SQL in Access 2007, Rather than in 2003.
