Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant v7.7 for Access now includes 32bit version!

I agree it really has dumbfounded me as well... the only thing I could conclude is that the SSMA team are not MS Access Developers.

Thanks for the heads up, Juan, and good news!

 

Bringing back 32-bit support for the SQL Server Migration Assistant will be definitely make it more practical to use in many cases.

 

Doesn't it seem strange that SSMA ended up 64-bit only in the first place, considering how often 32-bit version of Microsoft Office is installed (as is even recommended, for maximum add-in compatibility)?

Any idea of what that was the case?

Great news everyone! Via Klaus Oberdalhoff today I learned that version 7.7 now includes TWO versions to download, the 64 bit and 32 bit!

 

This is a major improvement, before it only included the 64 bit version, requiring additional steps to migrate your Access 32bit database to Azure or a SQL Server.
