[AccessD] Access 97 Migration to SQL

Liz, 
 
My email was a little confusing.  The naming problems are with fields in the table.  The table names are fine.  I appreciate the effort.
 
Thanks,
Jeremy

Make a BE with the ODBC links to the SQL tables.

Link the existing FE to the BE, renaming the links to whatever table
names the FE is expecting.

It's a double link, so the longest possible way around, but it should
make all the pieces work together.

Good luck!

Liz

Subject: [AccessD] Access 97 Migration to SQL

I am migrating an Access 97 backend to a SQL server database. The
previous Access table design included spaces in the field names. I can
view the table in a pass through query, but can't view it with an ODBC
link. If I change the fields names from spaces to underscores, the ODBC
link can view the SQL tables. Has anybody experienced the following
problem? Do you know where I can find some white papers on this issue?

Upgrading the Access version is not an option. A quick turn around is
required, so I've been asked to find a solution other than changing from
spaces to underscores if possible. Ideas? 

Thanks,
Jeremy
