>>Hi,
>>
>>I have a .mdb file (I guess this is an Access database) that someone sent me. I don't know the version of this Access database. I need to import it into my SQL Server 2005. I found an article on the web describing SSIS as a way to import the database. My primary concern is not to break anything in my SQL Server 2005. Is this (SSIS) method a safe and efficient method of importing Access into SQL Server? Or would you recommend another approach?

Thank you.
