Hello, every one:

If I want to move tables from Access 2003 to Back-end SQL Server,
should I use Dababase splitter or upsizing wizard? or just import
tables?

Thanks for your help.

I have used the upsizing wizard with complete success.  The only
proviso is to ensure that all your tables have primary keys set (which
they likely will) before you upsize.  The application I was dealing
with was originally Access XP FE and BE and for business policy reasons
the BE had to be ported over to SQL Server.  I was pleasantly surprised
when it all went v. smoothly and has worked now for months without a
problem.  I did spend a fair bit of time, however, before the upgrade,
re-writing DAO code to SQL in order to speed-up some of the processes
(e.g changing .AddNew stuff to INSERT INTO stuff).  You can try your
application before re-writing; it should still work and you'll quickly
see if it needs 'tweaking'.

I import the tables. Then I use the database diagram facility to modify
each table, index and relationship appropriately.
I rewrite every saved query as a view, stored procedure, udf or
whatever. In some cases I may transfer SQL strings used in code in a
similar way.
Views can be indexed but they are, IMO, more limited than SELECT stored
procedures. I tend to use SELECT stored procedures to the exclusion of
views.
I do not want to pay in money and time for an SQL database and end up
with a JET/Access database living in an SQL Server.
After I have a real SQL-Database I can do whatever I want with it, and
use Access as a front-end or NOT. Lately it's been NOT.
