I'm trying to import a series of Access 2010 tables to Sql Server 2008 R2. The Access import drivers are for *.mdb (which if I recall was the file extension for Access when I was a kid, and don't recognize the .accdb file extention). Similarly, the Excel driver is for Excel 2003. Isn't there a driver and method to import directly to SQL 2008 from Access 2010?
SQL is installed on my server, but Access is not installed on the server. When I copy the file onto the server and try and open it directly into SQL, I get a 'no editor installed' error.
I can't get the 'upsize' wizard to work becuase it won't open the connection to SQL, even though I enter the userid and password of the SQL DB owner. I get the following error:
=====================================================
Connection failed:
=============================================================
I have to say I'm stumped. The rest of the Office 2010 suite works really well together - perhaps I'm missing something very simple?
Thanks!
I guess I could export my tables as Excel 2003 and then import them using Integration Services, or install SQL Express on my laptop and 'upsize' to that instance, but
SQL State: ‘0100’
