Hello,

I have a SQL Server database that was created by importing an MS Access
database.
In one of my SQL tables I have added several fields, and have populated some
of these fields with data.
Is there any way to create a DTS package, or do a straight import, where I
pull all records from the original table in Access, but without losing the
data in the new fields in SQL?
Basically I want to rewrite all my SQL data, but retain the new values...
For ex. if I have a record with ID 1000 in both database tables, but in my
SQL I have an extra field, with data...can I import all records from Access,
but for record with ID 1000, retain my new data?

Thanks in advance!
Amber

Yes, In Access, create a Linked Table (Go File, Get External Data, Link
Tables, and create a linked table that points to the SQL Server Table...
Then in Access, create an Update Query, that updates the Linked Table values
for the columns that are in Access which is based on a join between the
Access table and the SQL Table, on whatever the PK is on both sides..
