"Overflow!" error when Upsizing from Access

Hi
I've just installed MSDE 2000 Release A on WinXP Pro. All seems okay, but when I try to upsize an Access Database, I get a message box saying "Overflow!".
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? I'm new to SQL Server
Cheers
Dan
It depends on which version of Access you are using -- see
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;q294407 for
the Access 2002 upsizing whitepaper -- there's a link to the A2000 one
if you're using that.

|||Mary,
Thanks, am downloading that now. Forgot to mention I'm using Access 2000.
One question though.. when you install, what's the default login you would use? I used the SAPWD switch to create my password, but what's the Login ID for a default instance? May seem like a silly question, but it might be what's causing my problems!
Cheers

and password with the upwiz, not integrated security (the whitepaper
should discuss this). It's a valid login that you create. FWIW,
upgrading to Access 2003 is highly recommended if you're going to keep
an Access FE to a SQLS BE. A2k was released *before* SQLS 2k, and
there have been many improvements and bug fixes since then.
