[AccessD] Linking to SQL Server table from Access - desired table does not show in list

No prob.  This assumes you're connecting to your SQL end with Windows Auth
and you have dbo permissions on the server.  Open SSMS and click
Security>Logins.  Right click your login account and select Properties.
Click User Mapping in the left hand pane, locate the DB, check it and check
db_owner on the bottom.  Click Ok.  

Now when you open your link to server and get the ODBC portion, you should
be able to see the DB and the tables therein.

HTH.

Randy,
Thanks.  Yes, you have described the environment I am in.  I am pretty new
to using this, and SQL databases, so I will need some specific help walking
through this.  I see there are permission options for the SQL Server, and
for each database.  And I believe I want to grant some kind of permission to
schema dbo (is that right?), but don’t know where I am stepping now.  Can
you give me the specific steps to add the permissions needed?

Sincerely yours,
 
Guss Ginsburg

Guss,
Are you importing/viewing the data via SSMS?  Then when you open Access and
try to link you can't see the tables to pick from?  If so, you need to add
permissions to the SQL side so that your ODBC connection will allow you to
see/select the tables.

i imported the table into SQL Server, and it shows up on my computer in the
database, but when i try to link to it, the list of tables that comes up are
only system tables, and the data i am looking for is not shown. Did i leave
out a step in the process of creating the db or importing the file?  

 

Sincerely yours,
