Question : Table Connected via ODBC not showing newly added fields

Using Access 2007 I connect to my SQL Server tables via ODBC.  When I add new fields to my table in SQL Server, Access does not show the new fields.  I tried compact and repair, but that didn't work.  I finally got the missing fields to show up after relinking the table, but that's a very manual process.  Shouldn't these fields automatically show up or is this a known bug with Access?  How can I fix this issue?

Thank you,

Troy

Answer : Table Connected via ODBC not showing newly added fields

As SB9 suggested, delete and refresh links when the database opens, or have a button to allow refresh on demand. There's various examples on EE and elsewhere if you google 'access refresh linked tables'

I have this in several databases i've developed to switch between DEV and PROD versions. I can't post the code right now, but can do later today if you're still stuck. The top 3 results when I googled the above search string were all viable VBA for doing the job.
