Really do not want to get into sql server management...and instead used the replication service of AccessTables.com It isn't a fit for every application but it saved the day for my requirement. Just fyi to anyone in the same boat....</p> So what you went thru is more than I wanted to do.

I have some 100 queries that I work with and even if I optimise(don't really know how to) you say that some of the queries can no longer be optimised.

The problem is that, if you use Access functions or some Access-only construct in your queries, Access will have to pull all the data from the tables to perform the joins and special treatment.
Before, it would have known how to optimise for efficiency but once the tables have moved away, it can’t optimise some of the queries any longer.

I’ve added some links on upsizing.
