I have SQL 2000 Server. I would like to setup the application by using that instead. I see the blank Access database (before setup). It looks almost like I just need to create tables within a database and create tables exactly like in the access file with same columns and datatypes.
Just change the connection string in config.asp and run setup.asp - it will create the tables for you. If you have to move any data there's a good tutorial floating around here somewhere.
