Just some feedback.
I proceeded this way, may be you have a brighter idea.
I stored all the query.Name and query.SQL in a Table y_Queries (QueryName(txt),QuerySQL(memo)), copied the Table into the SQL Linked BE, deleted all the queries there and restored them from y_Queries.
I had some problems with this procedure, because the query equations contain alphanumerics not allowed as text in tables. I had to substitute these characters by others before saving, and then back before restoring.
Finally, opening the restored queries one by one a got a quite a bit with errors - I still have to find out what is going on – but the rest worked fine with restored joins. Alleluia! Some of them are very slow though. I will have to go through all of them to see if I can achieve some better design.
Thanks again for your help.

Just one more feedback.
I did the upgrading over once more, however this time I didn’t delete the Access BE links before linking to the SQL Server. I kept them, so the FE was linked to the Access BE and the SQL BE at the same time. I did this because I wanted to experiment updating of an Access BE to be used in my test environment.
Then, instead of switching between BEs, what I normally do, I just swapped names. To my surprise, this worked without loosing the joins between the tables!

First I thought that deleting the tables caused the loss of the joins, but checking this out with Access BE tables, the FE does not lose the joins.
Strange thing.
