    Posted: 22 October 2008 at 1:49pm
What are the recommended steps to migrate an Access install (9.53) to SQL Server. I have been using it for several years so I want to (hopefully) make the data migration smooth and easy.
 
I haven't had any issues with the Access version but our company is moving all our data off Access and to SQL Server 2005.

The best way is to use the upsize wizard in Access to create a new SQL Server database on the SQL Server.

You will need a trusted connection to the database server to do this so it needs to be running on the same PC or Intranet domain.

If you don't have this you can always install SQL Server Express on your own PC, upsize the database and then make a backup in SQL Server to move to your web hosts servers.

So I don't need to install a new version of WWF 9.53? I thought there was a separate version for SQL Server.

Before you do anything its always great practice to backup your existing access database first before trying anything Thumbs Up

Then you could try and follow these instructions I found and migrate to SQL that way - or better still ask your company to take care of the migration

I have it working and the data is in the database but when I open my forum there are no forums or posts! I don't get any errors.
 
Using SQL 2005. Any ideas why my forums and posts are not showing up?

It won't recognize my password. I checked and the data is there in the SQL table.

It sounds like you have not upsized your database correctly or that you have run a setup file on the database after the upsize.

Go back to your original Access database and try doing the upsize again.

Have done quite a few upsizes of Web Wiz Forums Access databasse to SQL Server for people when they move across to our hosting service. Most of the time it goes fairly smoothly, but have been known to have a few difficuylt ones that have taken up to 6 hours to sucessfulty upsize them.
