[RESOLVED] Access to SQL Server Migration
Hi guys. I used VB6 and Access 2003 for my backend. Now I want to migrate to SQL Server that will run through ODBC.
My first task is to convert my current Access dbase to SQL.

But during the upsize wizard, I am lost. Im stuck with "Select Data Source" and "DSN name"? I am very new to this. Can you give me some helpful link on how to convert Access to MySQL Server and configure the ODBC.
I tried some links but didn't help me much. And one more thing, will the queries with the previous Access be the same? I hope that the only thing I will change are the queries and the connection strings.
I have Vb6 and SQL already installed on the server. Im really confused with the setup.
Guys, please lighten me up with this. Thanks!
Re: Access to SQL Server Migration
Whenever I've had to do this I simply migrated the data from Access to SQL Server using a DTS package. I find that much easier to do.
Re: Access to SQL Server Migration
Yeah I found a link using DTS.

Is it basically the same as using the Upsizing Wizard of Access? How do I setup the ODBC? Sorry Hack this is my first time to do this. Please bear with me.
Re: Access to SQL Server Migration
You set up ODBC connections using the Data Sources application located in the Control Pannel (Administrative Tools) area.
Re: Access to SQL Server Migration
What should I do first? Setup the ODBC or Migrate my Access to SQL Server?
Im currently running DTS and it says choose a destination. What should I choose?
Microsoft OLE DB Provider? or the ODBC? :(
Re: Access to SQL Server Migration
I got it working guys. Thanks for the help.
I setup the DTS first then setup the ODBC.
