time since
i am not using Existing Database, so i select Create new
Database

button,




















since
i am converting to SQL Server, if you do this, you must enter your
current SQL
Server name, since i am using Developer Edition
of SQL Server
, the server name
is only my computer name,

2005 Dev. Edition and

MS Access
