Hi,
I have a Access database that I want to upload onto a server running SQL.
Does anyone know an easy way to do this?

I just want to get the database tables accross, Im not worried about any quirys, forms and so on.

I have been using this with good results. And the first 30 runs are free, before you have to register. :)

Bill,

you can convert Access dbs to MySQL db in some ways:
1. Use DBTools from http://dbtools.vila.bol.com.br
It supposedly allows for easy management of MySQL database, as well as
export from MS Access to MySQL.

2. You can try using MySQL Front, available at http://www.anse.de/mysqlfront/ , which makes it easier to work with MySQL.

3. You can also use Export to ODBC datasource feature in MS Access ,
this way you can export Access tables to db represented by a given
datasource.

I ended up using Accessdump.
I tried the DMsofttech software but for some reason could not get it to connect to the MySQL server I was using.

AccessDump was easy to use but I did have to edit a couple of lines in the dumpfile. AccessDump likes to drop then recreate the database. Both servers I have access to dont allow that. I just deleted the line with drop in it at the top.
All worked fine after that.
Thanks to all who replyed.

MyAccess is an Add-In for Microsoft Access that allows the user to manage MySQL Databases from inside MS-Access.
Version 1.5 can be used with Access2000 and AccessXP
If you’re using Access97 you have to use MyAccess Version 1.4 which is available for both Access97 and Access2000/XP
Main Features of MyAccess 1.5 are:
· Create/Modify/Open Tables
· Create/Modify/Open Queries (queries are stored locally on your PC)
· Import/Export Tables from Access to MySQL
· Synchronize tables between Access and MySQL
· Log changes made using MyAccess

So from Access you click Tools : Addins then MyAccess and you open a mySQL database, check the access tables you want copied into mySQL and click ok, your done (unless someone forgot to add a premary key to a table).

Between myAdmin and MyAcess moving information between the Access and my SQL is a snap.
