I am upgrading my backend from SQL 2000 to SQL 2008 with MSAccess 2003 as
frontend. So far testing has not identified any MS Access issues with the
conversion. Is anyone aware of any specific issues with MS Access? Things I
should look at or test?

Thanks,
Sam

It's difficult to say without knowing more about your Access
application, but here's a couple of good resources for you to check
out:
