    What does it cost to get a version of SQL Server if you wanted to upgrade an Access Database? Is it still in the $1500 range? Also, is it a Database File like with Access or is it different, in other words is it one file like *.mdb?

    thanks

    There's 2 options

    1) Get the developer edition of SQL (about $50).

    This edition is a full blown SQL server with all the tools. The only constraint is the # of connections, max memory

    2) Get MSDE!!, its free.

    MSDE is almost exactly the same as SQL except that it cannot handle a lot of connections. You can develop your application with MSDE on your local computer and upload to any SQL server.
