Hi all as you can probably tell I'm new to VP ASP and SQL Server, I've used MySql before but MS version first flight here.

I would like to use access 2003 to add products to my catalog then update to SQL server using access export feature to my webhost. Is there anything special I need to know? I have used import/export limited in the past but want to be very careful to not effect the SQL database tables I've created in SQL already.

Here are my thoughts on this. Connect to SQL server via Access, let it download the entire catalog from the server that has been installed so far and save as a mdb. Copy as a back up and save. Then add new products to db products in proper catagories, save and upload.

I do not plan on using it for images or extended descriptions, those I will add later through admin. I have many products to add that will be moved from excel spreadsheets to access then up to sql this way...

Does this sound correct in the description above? Honestly I'm just nervous of killing/corrupting my SQL database and starting over again...better safe than sorry I guess.

vpasp has an import tool, so you could export your access file to a csv file, and then import it straight to your vpasp (sqlserver) database through the vpasp admin import option.

That's for on-going maintenance. If you're after a general one-off conversion of a vpasp access database to sqlserver, then vpasp have a tool available for that too which'll copy all your access data to sqlserver, which I think is free and available on-request.
