Linked Table Issues

2 New Member
I have a linked table in my database.
When you open the database you are unable to add records.

soon as you re-import the table it all works fine again.

anyone know why??

It works if i jsut click "add new record" and dont enter any data, but as soon as i do i get

ODBC -- insert on a linked table "businesses " failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] SQL data type out of range (#0)

anyone have a clue as to why??

This is taking far too long!!

I don't believe the Linked table can be updated ie it can only contain data from what it is linked to.

If you put the linked table data into another table using a make-table query, you can add/update that without affecting the original source

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...

Hi all, I have encountered two problems when using linked tables; the linked table is connected to SQL server 2000. 1) How can I add the N prefix of a string constant in a query in order to search for double byte characters? I found that the search returns no result if no N prefix is added. If I use passthrough query, it works. Any suggestion if I do want an access select query instead of passthrough query in this case? 2) There...

Hi all, I've got a Front End / Back End database that was working just fine. One day i opened the FE to find that if I tried to open one of the linked tables from the database window, nothing happened (hourglass for about 2 seconds then nothing). I tried relinking the tables and got the same response. (Access even completely bombed out once with a Dr Watson failure).

I have a split front end/back end system. However I create a number of local tables to carry out certain operations. There is a tendency for the front end to bloat so I have set 'compact on close' I think that I have read in some threads (althoug I cannot find them now) that others place such tables in a local, linked database. I could do this but I am interested to know what would be the advantages. And disadvantages, if any. Any...

I have a A2K database that includes some linked tables (these links are SQL views). Sometimes there are "issues" with the SQL server and the users receive a timeout error whenever they try to access those records. The timeout error occurs after 60 seconds. Many times the user has given up and used ctrl-alt-del to end task thinking their computer has locked up. I suppose I could change the default timeout from 60 seconds down to 30...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
