Linked sql view changing datatype

I have an A2k mdb that uses a linked SQL 2k view. In SQL Server, the
underlying table uses datatype 'nvarchar'. When I try to view the data in
Access (SQL server works fine for the view), I get:

ODBC--call failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast
specification (#0)

If I use design view to look at the linked view, I see that the 'nvarchar'
columns are now 'number'. I have deleted and re-linked the tables in
question and still get the error. There is alpha-numeric text in these
fields and am having a difficult time understanding the problem, let alone
using the table.
Thanks,

Eric J Owens

I previously posted re. this, but thought I'd try again with a summary of facts. I have an Access 2000 MDB with a SQL Server 7 back end. There is a view that is linked to the database via ODBC and has been in place for several years without any performance problems. Recently I added a couple of fields to the output of the view, and it became very slow when scrolling. When just opened in the database window, the linked view takes about...

I have an Access 2000 MDB file with a SQL 7 back end. I have a main table with 50,000 records; and I have a selections table with 50,000 records for each machine that uses the database (about 25-50). This allows each user to have their own set of selections. The selections table has three fields: ID (int), Sel (bit), MachName (varchar). ID and MachName comprise the primary key. I have a view that combines the main table and the entries...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
