sql server dts:
I am just learning about SQL Server so please excuse what may be a silly
question. I am importing the data from an Access 2000 back end database into
SQL Server 2000 using the DTS Wizard.

The SQL Server database I created through the Access Upsizing Wizard is fine
in that I can see all the tables and columns as they should be. I can load
data manually into the tables.

The Access database I want to import from has no password, or is not
associated with any special workgroup file.

When I try to import data, I am using Windows Authentication and leave the
Username and Password of the Access database blank. If I try and preview the
data, even on just one table, I get an error:

"Record(s) cannot be read; no read permission on 'Whatever the table name
happens to be I am testing at the time'.
Context: Error calling RowSet on the provider."

I tried a compact and repair on the Access database but no difference. Any

Hello NevilleT:

With Access, even though you open the file and do not supply a username and
password, if you are using the default Workgroup file, then it defaults to
"admin" as the username with a blank password. Try setting admin as the
username but leave the password blank.

Hi Todd

That was not the problem. I tried admin and blank password. I created a new
database and imported all the tables. For some reason it worked. No idea
why. Thanks for responding.
