This clearly represents a superb return on investment

"We have successfully upsized 5 large and complex MS Access databases to SQL using MUST. It had paid for itself in, the time it saved us, on completion of the second database. This clearly represents a superb return on investment"

Mervyn Porter, codepagesystems.com

"... I find it far more helpful and easy to use ..."

was the opinion of Mark Whitehorn when reviewing MUST in Personal Computer World (OCTOBER 2007 VOL.30 NO. 11)

"MUST is a must"

was the opinion expressed on Reg Developer June 2007

Must have tool for Migrating Access to SQL Server

Definitely worth looking at if you have a few users in your business who are closet Access developers. was Andrew Fryers comment on his technet blog

The querydef conversion rate I achieved was well over 90%.

“MUST is developed by an accomplished upsizing practitioner ; it is much more than a manufacturer’s ‘tick the box’ tool. Numerous features are available to fix the underlying issues that cause upsizing errors. Even troublesome unique indexes with multiple nulls are seamlessly converted to triggers. Every row in the database is accounted for. Changes, fixes, errors and much, much more are logged, pinpointing any residual issue. The querydef conversion rate I achieved was well over 90%. There is a solution for embedded form references and a test harness for checking the upsized results. Queries that don’t upsize because, say, they reference linked spreadsheets are clearly identified. Optionally, SQL scripts are generated making the process reproducible. Ideal for our phased deployment of read only users first, with a daily overnight data refresh from Access to SQL Server during the transition.

A great time-saver

I work for East Berkshire College, developing in-house applications. I struggled for some time trying to link an Access front-end to SQL Server - my applications always seemed to be too complex for the Microsoft upgrade tool. MUST has made upgrade so much easier, I can understand it and customize the procedure as I wish. It's a great time-saver too, and the company is so approachable and supportive.Great value for money!

MUST ticks all of the boxes for excellence!

My business is designing and building databases to meet specific client requirements and I have found MUST an invaluable tool for migrating Access data to SQL Server. Of the host of features available the few that I use regularly and that have given me enormous benefit are:

• The ability to split the data migration into several steps each of which can be managed individually
• The identification of all problems within the Access data enabling these to be fixed before proceeding further
• The scripting of the Access tables so that the performance advantage of SQL Server can be fully utilised (and to provide templates that assist my development of additional data facilities)

The whole package is then topped up with a support service that responds both rapidly and friendly to offer guidance on all individual migration needs. MUST ticks all of the boxes for excellence!
