Default Connecting tables from a different database to an application - 03-09-2007 , 01:31 PM






I have an application using an Access 2003 project connecting through ADO
which must refer to a table in a SQLServer 2000 database other than the main
database. When I connect, I get the data but the recordset is not updatable.

I can create a view in the main SQLServer database that makes the connection
and can be updated, but when I open that view in Access, it's still not
updatable.

Is there some simple way to update the data?

The problem turned out to be that the "uneditiable" fields were char rather
than varchar. When the user put a cursor into the field, he wasn't able to
insert letters. Changing the configuration of the underlying table has
resolved the problem.

Thanks for your help.
