    Hi,

    The first thing you need to decide is: in-place or side-by-side upgrade you wish to do. I did both of them dozens of times and I can tell you that both have pros and cons. Next step is to use the upgrade advisor and check if there is any work before you go with the upgrade.

    I'd recommend to read the BOL related sections about the upgrade as well as tehse urls:

    I hope it helps.

    Recent upgrade of my sql 2000 server to 2005 brought serious problem whilst my access linked table database consist of several forms and sub forms which has completely gone mad now. When i try to connect to sql database using my ODBC connection it gives out error "ODBC connection error" when  i check connecting and test using DSN connection it connects successfully I also tried to connect using "sql server native connection" for sql 2005 server and its same my form brings out mad results. I am totally confused what to do next???? Do i need to do fresh sql server 2000 and restore my database to get result as before or is there any way I can connect to sql server 2005 using ODBC connection??? or can i use any other connection other than ODBC

    Bis,

    This is a new problem you are experiencing, it's not related to the upgrade (which has been already answered anyway!)

    When you use ODBC connection, try to use the SQL Server OleDB driver or SQL Native Client. Also make sure that remote connection is enabled. According to your MS Access application, it is worth to post your question to the MS Access forum, you may likely get much better answer at there as it is a SQL Server forum.

    Thanks,

    Janos
