There's stuff you can do with tables and queries which would probably cause
a problem.
You can forget compact and repair operations.
Table search is potentially a problem as you'll minimum have to switch to
(SQL) attached tables.
Hopefully the code and data is already split between two databases?
If you just use a bunch of selects and inserts then they're quite possibly
going to be relatively painless to convert.
If you have to do it anyhow.
I would suggest create corresponding sql tables manually.
Perhaps start off using DTS to load em in and see what you get.
Attach these to a copy of your code database.
Give it a twirl and see what happens.
