You mean mdb, not a mdf?????
When you using the upsizing wizard, do NOT choose the option to
"Create a new Access client/server Application"
If you choose the above, you duck soup, as that will create a adp project,
and most (if not all) of your reocrdset code will break.
The option you want to choose is:
"Link SQL Server Tables to existing Application"
The above will NOT force you to use a adp project, but will allow you to
keep your application intact as "is" (ie: a regular mdb). The upsize wizard
will simply will add linked tables to your application.
There is of course a 3rd option "do nothing", and that option is quite
useful for transferring data to sql server, but no needing linked tables....
