SYMPTOMS
When you use the Microsoft Access Upsizing Tools Upsizing Wizard to
transfer tables from Microsoft Access version 2.0 to Microsoft SQL
Server, certain extended ASCII characters in table or field names are not
transferred as underscore characters as they should be. When the Upsizing
Wizard creates items such as triggers, rules, and defaults for these tables
or fields, however, it refers to the underscore character that should have
been used, instead of to the extended character. For example, if you have a
table with a counter field named
the INSERT trigger will reference the field as
even though the field will still be named:
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, replace the extended characters in table or
field names with an underscore character in Microsoft Access before you
transfer the tables to Microsoft SQL Server. Characters with a value
greater than 128 can exhibit this problem.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Access
Upsizing Tools version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
