Migrating from Access to SQL server

We have some data and a large number of queries in an Access database.
Can we migrate the queries over to SQL aong with the data? The data
should be easy, but rebuilding these queries would be a pain.
Lorenzo,
The Access query upsizing is handled variously - they are created on SQl
Server as either views, stored procedures, or user-defined function, though
a few (like DISTINCTROW queries) aren't upsizeable. The wizard saves a
comprehensive snap shot report (.snp) to your My Documents directory of
everything it was and wasn't able to accomplish.
HTH,

Thanks, I'll have to look at that again. I found some documentation on
MS's website. It sounded like SQL would not bring the queries in
directly, but the docs are rather ambiguous.
