  I get prompted for a User ID & Password when I select an Access Table for import.

  I can open the Access Database and I don't specify or know of a password for that matter.

  When I attempt append the Data from within the Access Database and as soon as I enable VBA it's starts to compact but it just hangs.

  So either way I running into a roadblock.:sick:

  Any ideas?

  Is this a single shot migration ?

  Did you have a look at the SSMA for access (freeware by MS )?

  ( SQLServer Migration assistant for access )

  Johan,

  I was able to create a new Access Database, import the Access Table and append the Data into SQL Server.

  Thanks.

  Johan,

  It appears that I have a lot of Access Databases to import into SQL Server, Years for it.:w00t:

  I will probably need to automate a complicate process that occurs at Month & Year End.

  The summary results will be in an Excel Workbook Format.

  Thanks again.
