Answer 1

Copying 15,000 from Access to Sql daily even a row at a time should not be a significant problem in terms of performance, etc.

However, you could connect to the Jet provider from inside SQL server and then treat the Access data just like any other ODBC linked server from inside SQL server.

Just in case you see references to an ACE driver -- The Ace driver replaces the Jet Driver in newer version of Access.

Personally, I would still use a client based app to simply load the 15K records and not connect sql server to Jet. If I needed more performance, maybe, but not for 15K records daily.
