[AccessD] RE: A2k2 / SQL Server dropped indexes

Morning all

 

We've had a problem in the past here with linking tables into an Access .mdb
from a SQL Server database - when the tables are linked, Access decides on
its own primary key and creates an index.  So far, so good, but then
seemingly at random Access is dropping the index which results in the table
becoming read-only.  The problem can be fixed manually, but there's no
pattern to the behaviour.

 

I cured this before using a bit of ADOX to drop and relink the tables (an
extra button, but in this case the user was pretty Access-conversant), but
now in a separate .mdb looking at a different SQL backend, it's happening
again - to a mission-critical application.

 

Anyone any clues?  I've Googled from top to bottom for this one, and not a
sausage to be found.

 

Many TIA as always

Tom
