I don't see that converting to SQL Server would fix that.

But, assuming it will somehow:

Check to see if your DAO is use fast, efficient direct access DAO (which
cannot be efficiently converted) or just dao dynasets (which can be
effectively converted to SQL Server attachments). Check to see if you are
using complex Transactions (which can not be effectively converted to use
SQL Server attachment).
