[thelist] SQL server MS DB cannot form relationships help?

[Ken Moore]

Hi all,

I think that Ken Schaefer is correct that "Access is out of the picture at 
this stage".

I have used done almost everything with MS Access that can be done. If I 
were doing this, I simply move the data and then re-construct the 
relationships. Why? MS SQL has got many extras that Access does not 
involving data types, triggers, stored procedures, constraints, automated 
functions, etc.

Trying to know which ones translate to Access and exactly how they will work 
is a toss of the dice. This is especially true because some of the 
inconsistencies are data dependent.

The quickest way to learn is to get two or three really good books. If you 
have time and money for a tutor, that works even better. While application 
development is easy, much of the database design is less than intuitive in 
Access.
