I'm currently using Access 2010.
I want to try something different database but not sure where to look.
I want a db manager that requires very little coding. Something that utilizes wizards.
I don't want anything very expensive. Able to import access data
My access database consist of a backend for the data a front end for the objects.
Thanks,
James
Try sql server express.
I believe I tried that before but I had problems getting my Access data to the SQL.
I could be mistaken but can I simply import the Access tables into sql server express??
James
Also, which sql express should I download.. just the core?
Can download sql express 2012 from MS, should be able to import data from Access.
Sorry about the delay.
Does sql express have the UI tools to create forms??
James
It doesn't but you can still use Access as frontend.
There is a free management studio for SQLExpress

Using Acces is what I'm trying to avoid. It has issues they were aware of 2 years ago that haven't been fixed yet and I'm tryting to mfind something else.
Access is not the only option, you can build frontend with whatever you like as long as able to talk to backend db.
