Darren,

This code works well here:

Public Sub Import()
Dim strCnn As String
    strCnn = "ODBC;DRIVER=SQL Server;" & _
             "SERVER={1};" & _
             "DATABASE={2};" & _
             "Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
    strCnn = Replace(strCnn, "{1}", "(local)") ' server
    strCnn = Replace(strCnn, "{2}", "pubs")    ' database

    DoCmd.TransferDatabase _
          acImport, _
          "ODBC", _
          strCnn, _
          acTable, _
          "authors", _
          "authors"
End Sub

Public Sub Link()
Dim strCnn As String
    strCnn = "ODBC;DRIVER=SQL Server;" & _
             "SERVER={1};" & _
             "DATABASE={2};" & _
             "Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
    strCnn = Replace(strCnn, "{1}", "(local)") ' server
    strCnn = Replace(strCnn, "{2}", "pubs")    ' database

    DoCmd.TransferDatabase _
          acLink, _
          "ODBC", _
          strCnn, _
          acTable, _
          "authors", _
          "linked_authors"
End Sub

Hope it will work for you too.

Shamil
