Importing a MSACCESS2007 table into SQL2008 "Unrecognized database format.."

You might want to install the Access components on the SQL server so it can access they Access DB.

It might also be helpful to validate that you can setup an odbc when done.

Still get the same message.  I installed and ran the noted download on the server.
-still get the same message.
fyi : back in August I somehow did import all my ACCESS tables to the noted SQL server, and users are now using the ACCESS DB, via all the tables linked to the SQL database.
Now, I found it necessary to redesign one of the tables w/ a table driven pick list, and created the new picklist table.  Now, I am trying to import them back into my SQL DB, and i seem to have forgotten what i did before to avoid the message:  "Unrecognized database format..."

I used the site recommended:  "MS office 12 access databae engine OLE DB..."which is what i believe I successfully did before.  However, now I get the following message when neither I nor anyone else is using the DB:


"TITLE: SQL Server Import and Export Wizard

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

This sounds as if the db file is in use somewhere either as a link or something else.

I would probably just as a test make a copy of the db and try importing that to ensure it is indeed a file access issue.

Knowing I was using ACCESS 2007 and trying to import to SQL2008 with MS ACCESS,
an "Expert" should have simply told me using "MS ACCESS" does not work.
Required to be used is:  "Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider".
(as you more indirectly adivised me by supplying the last url). Thank you.
Furthermore, to get rid of the erooneous msg that someond was using the system:  the path must not just include where the document is, but also actually name the .aadb file.
All is now well.
Thank you.

I erroneously usually assume there is a basic understanding of what's being done unless explicitly called out. I apologize if I get you there more slowly than expected.

Apology accepted.
