>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?

Go with SSIS. Create an extra database (staging) for now if you don't want to risk importing into your main database.
