One necessary modification is to assign a unique primary key to each table. MS Access will not be able to update a SQL table without a primary key. Other likely modifications will arise if any business process necessitates the regular addition of fields to the tables. MS Access, because it is a desktop database, makes it convenient to circumvent true relational forms and instead keep adding fields to tables for quarterly or yearly occurrences. Because table definition in SQL Server cannot be done from the MS Access front end database, professionally designed database structures should be considered.
