Link SQL-Server tables to MS Access file

Question

In my SQL Server database I need to mantain the tables linked and in sync with the tables of an MS Access .mdb file.

Lets say I update something or add something in the MS Access database via my own application.

I want those changes reflected in the SQL Server database.

I need a way to push the updates to the SQL Server database, or a way to update the SQL Server database with the new data when I connecto to it.

Trying to be clear: source must be the .mdb file database and destination must be the SQL server database. I need to keep them in sync.

Both databases have the same tables.

I have read a lot of posts, even this one: From SQL Server how do I read from an MS Access database to UPDATE data in one or more table columns? that seems to be the solution, but I can figure out the steps.

The official tool for this is:

SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access (AccessToSQL)

It has a migration feature that, when run, will replicate (adjust) the table schema in the database in SQL Server to match that of the Access database.
