Upsizing Wizard

A few days ago I installed SQL Server 2005 Express edition and successfully used the upsizing wizard to convert a MS Access database to SQL Server database. Today I found I could get VB.Studio Express. The instructions said to delete SQL Server Express and .NET before installing VB Studio because it would re-install them both. I faithfully did that but since then I have been unable to get the upsizing wizard to work again. I have uninstalled SQL Server and re-installed it but still cant get it working. From SQL Server Configuration manager I can confirm that Shared Memory and TCP/IP protocol are both enabled for both protocols for clent and protocols for SQLEXPRESS Both the SQL Server and the SQL Browser are running. And from SQL Server Surface Configuration I can confirm that OPENROWSET AND OPENDATASOURCE SUPPORT is disabled; CLR Registration is disabled; OLE AUTOMATION is enabled; and xpCommandshell is disabled.

When I run the upsizing module it goes through the motions but the report at the end says "table was skipped or export failed" for each of the tables in the database.

I have looked everywhere I can think of to try to find a solution but no one so far has been able to help.

    I have the same problem. I have been using the Upsizing Wizard for a few weeks now and it works fine. Now I have come across a database which has upsized OK before but now one of its tables will not convert ... it just says Table was skipped or export failed. I am using SQL Server 2000

    Help!

    I don't know what will work for you, but only what worked for me. I also don't know which of the following steps are crucial. I reinstalled MSDE (I'm running this standalone), accepting all the defaults. In the setup line I included securitymode=sql. When it WASN'T working, in Access when the wizard asks for a password, previously I had not given one, then when the error message let me accept 'use trusted connection' I had. Instead in the iteration that DID work I used my 'sa' account name and the system administrator password I'd created in the process of installing MSDE. I sure hope this works for you. I can relate to the hours of frustrating lack of headway!

    I'm having a problem with upsizing too. I get the error "table was skipped or export failed" no matter what .mdb file I try to upsize. I've spent two days trying to figure out why this is.
