If not, select SQL Native Client from the Destination drop down. Since you right-clicked on the database you wanted to import the data into, it should already be picked in the list. Go ahead and click Next to choose the destination. Note that the database cannot be in Access 2007 or higher format ( ACCDB) as SQL Server does not recognize it! So if you have a 2007 to 2016 Access database, first convert it to the 2002-2003 Database format ( MDB) by going to File – Save As. Next to File name, click on Browse and navigate to the Access database you want to import and click Open. On the Choose a Data Source dialog box, select Microsoft Access (Microsoft Jet Database Engine) from the drop down box. Now we need to right-click on the Test database we just created and choose Tasks and then Import Data. If you’re creating a new database, go ahead and give it a name and configure the settings if you want to change them from the defaults. Just right-click on your current database instead of creating a new one. If you already have a database and you simply want to import a couple of tables from Access, then just skip this and go to the Import Data step below. Under Databases, right-click and choose New Database. Open SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the database server you want to import your Access database into. Once you have SQL Server installed properly, you can continue with the steps below to import the Access database into a new database in SQL Server.
