linked table from SQL - can not be updated

10 New Member
I have a linked table from SQL server and created a local copy. user may edit the values in the local table and when it is finalize, sql will be updated. i created an update query that will do the work but there's an error. it seems that the linked table is not updateable. is it because of sql permissions on the table? if so...is there a work around using MS Access?

in sql, the table can be updated. it is only when i linked it to access that i cant update the table.

thanks!

If this turns out to be a SQL Server permission issue then you will need to speak to your SQL Server administrator. This is a specialist issue that is not straightforward and depends on many option settings and how your particular server has been configured.
You could try in the SQL forum but don't expect anything from anyone unless you put in a lot more relevant information.
I still think your local SQL Server administrator is the most appropriate place to look.

Just updated my Access 97 db front end to Access 2003. When I open my linked table manager, it's empty and I have several linked sql tables and access tables located elsewhere on the network. I've updated several of these db front ends and the linked table manager has always been populated... This last one isn;t. Any thoughts??

Hi all, I'm wondering if there's a way to remove the password Access (2003) has stored for an ODBC linked table without quitting and reopening the application. I have a set of linked tables which I update with a user's password on login using tdf.Connect, thereby keeping them from having to use the linked table manager or see the ODBC connection dialog. When a user logs out, I set the connect string back to a generic connect string...

Is there a way in VBA to check if a linked table in the database has been updated? Example: I have a table "LedgerTemp" which is a direct link to a text file on the LAN "Ledger.txt" This text file is periodically updated (overwritten) through out the day and night by some mainframe jobs. Right now I just manually run a macro that just basically appends data from the linked "LedgerTemp" table to a local table "Ledger"

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
