Ms access

Basically I am a Oracle guy. Now I am developping some form in SQL server. I wana use SQL DB as back end and access as front end. I wanna all the tables in SQL server not as the Access DB. Is it possible.
I do not have knowledge of VB or VB script
What should I do? Please helpIn Access, select File, New, from the menu and choose to create a Project with either a new or existing database. A wizard will guide you through establishing a connetion with your SQL database, and you can even perform some administrative functions from Access ala Enterprise Manager. This means you will need to be carefull that you don't unintentionally alter your SQL database, and that you will need to lock down your final Access file so that users don't mess with your database.
The Access file will have a .adp extenstion (Access Data Project).|||[thanks mate it works|||No worries. G'day!

Moving Table to another SQL server using Linked Server

Hi,

I can't seem to find any information on how exactly to do this. Basically I want to move a particular table on my DB to a remote SQL server, and have write operations (destined for that table) to be written directly to the table on the remote server.

How is this done?

Thanks in advance.

If you have set up one server as a linked server, you should be able to set up one of your tables just as a view, so that operations that happen to it actually happen on the underlying one (on the remote server).

That's the theory at least, and it ought to work, but you should be wary of network latency and things like that. You may find it just doesn't perform well enough, and that you need some sort of a process which polls the table on your database for changes that need to be written back. But then the tables won't be perfectly in sync (for obvious reasons).
