Microsoft has announced the release of SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) v5.0, a family of products to further simplify the user experience in automating the migration of Oracle, Sybase, MySQL and Microsoft Access databases to SQL server or SQL Azure. Access users will be happy to learn that SSMA now includes support for international versions of Access and SQL Server, and it also gives you the ability to upsize Access databases to SQL Server "Denali". Check out the full post on the SSMA blog, which contains links to free downloads of SSMA!
