Converting Access Application to SQL Server
I'm using the SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access to move an Access database to SQL Server. Many of the queries failed to migrate. Here is an example of one:
How do I fix such a query and manually migrate it? I can easily turn that into a stored procedure, but how does Access then know to use the stored procedure?
Apologies if I seem a bit dumb, this project kinda got thrown at me and I'm a SQL Server guy, not an Access guy.

UPDATE ttbl_Equian_Clients, qryEquian SET qryEquian.Parent = IIf([AccountName]="Equian",[ClientName],[AccountName]), qryEquian.[Employer/Insured] = [ClientName], qryEquian.payor = IIf([AccountName]="Equian",[ClientName],[AccountName]), qryEquian.[claim admin] = IIf([AccountName]="Equian",[ClientName],[AccountName])
WHERE (((ttbl_Equian_Clients.[Client ID])=Left([CLAIM NUMBER],4) Or (ttbl_Equian_Clients.[Client ID])=Left([CLAIM NUMBER],5)));
