Access DB Upgrade

Hi

I have an existing Access DB that consists of tables, forms, queries and
reports. I need to get it online and into SQL server, what is the quickest
and best way to do this? Is there a magical export procedure to turn the
forms into webpages with the data driving it and also export the reports and
queries? or do i need to upsize the data and build the forms and reports by
again online?

Thanks for your help

Ha, you're joking , right?

You'll be able to extract out your Tables and Queries at best.

You'd be best off to zap your forms and reports.

Welcome to the hard lesson on non layered/tiered development, and what
happens when you need a different presentation layer, and different backend
database.
Here is a decent example to get you started down the correct path:

PS
I think when Access 2000 was released, there was some kind of web interface
tools. I don't know, its been way too long, and it was a deficient method
to have a web enabled application.

I have a user who currently has Access 97 installed on her PC. She has purchased a new PC and would like to have Access installed on it. She would like to upgrade her current Access to Access 2003. When installing the Access 2003 upgrade on the new PC, do I have to install Access 97 first, then run the Access 2003 upgrade CD? And if so, do I need any unlocking or any type of codes during the Access 97 installation? Or can I just run...

Hi We need some advice: We are thinking of upgrading our Access database from Access 2000 to Access 2004. How stable is MS Office 2003? (particularly Access 2003). We are just a small company and this is a big decision for us(!) It's not just the money it's committing to an new version of Access!

We are running an Access 2000 MDB with a SQL 7 back end. Our network guy is upgrading to Windows Server 2003 and wants to upgrade Office and SQL Server at the same time. We're moving to SQL Server 2005, and, since he already has licenses for Office Pro 2002, he wants to upgrade to that. I've been saying that we need to upgrade to Access 2003, not 2002, even if Office is kept at 2002. We are also looking to do a fair amount of...

We've fooled around with Access a bit, but only using the single-user store-bought version. It seems to be a good database - versatile and infinitely programmable - and can apparently be used as a front end to SQL server if we ever needed to go that route. But - is there a client/server version of Access ? Looking on the CDW site there is a bewildering variety of packages and licences and such, but we can't figure out just which do...

I do programming in Access 2000 and 2003. I don't have a copy of 2003 myself, though. I have read about the adp software that comes with Access 2003, that converts an application to an access front end with a SQL server backend. It sounds like a good way for me to begin to learn about SQL server. I have thought about just shelling out the bucks for a copy of Access 2003, but the adp software is really the only reason.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
