Question : Linked table question

Hello,

I'd like to create an Access application which links to tables in our remote SQL server.

Is there a way to link to such tables without being able to update the SQL server tables? I just want to have read access to the remote server.

Thanks,

Steve

Answer : Linked table question

You can use Linked Tables, and you can do what you want using several different methods.

The simplest is to set the properties of your Forms to disallow Additions, Edits and Deletions, in effect creating readonly forms.

Another method is to ONLY use Views to process your data (on the server) and set the permissions of those Views. You can then link the Views, which would behave just like a table.

Or you can set permissions on the table for the login to your SQL Server (or better yet, add all your users to a new Group on the server, and set permissions on that Group).
