We are running ProductCart v4.7Ms (parent paths enabled).

We want to add the QuickBooks integration, but one of the requirements is that we need to have our store on a MS SQL database and ours was originally set up with an MS Access database. Our hosting provider can run MS SQL, but I have NO idea how to switch the databases. I don't want to lose the over 2,100 product records, over 3,500 sales order/invoice records and the hundreds of customers we have in the MS Access database.

Is there a way that I can transfer data from one database to the other on my own through ProductCart and is there a detailed step-by-step instructions (know NOTHING about MS SQL!) on how to accomplish this?

-OR-

Is there a person/service company that we can hire to do the transfer for us? Any recommendations?

Mark is the expert on this subject. There is nobody other than him that I even consider when this is needed.

Definitely do not attempt this yourself as it is not something you just switch to and there is no easy way to go about it (e.g. no step by step instructions).

I have been doing Access to MSSQL Conversion/Migration for the ProductCart community for the better part of the last 8-9 years and can certainly get this taken care of for you quickly with very little downtime and 0 data loss.

I have sent you a private message with all my contact details.
