Convert an Access database to SQL

I've seen software that claims it can convert an Access database into SQL one. Does anyone know how this works? Does Microsoft have a solution for this
I've only used Access databases and need to develop one with more power. For developing all I need is the developers edition right? My hosting server does have SQL
Thanks for helping a SQL newbi
JoyceAccess has an Upsizing Wizard to migrate an Access database
to SQL Server - you can find information on this in the
Access help files. You can also use DTS (Data Transformation
Services) in SQL Server to migrate your Access data to SQL
Server.
For the situation you describe and just using SQL Server for
development, the developers edition would be fine.

Something to note just in case...Upsizing will only transfer your data
to SQL Server. You'll essentially have a front-end/back-end where you
use Access' Forms and Reports using SQL Server tables, stored
procedures and views.
