Chester, In Access 97: If you go into design view of the table in question, then view the table properties (View menu, Properties option). The Description line in the properties box shows the connection properties of the table including the table/view you are connected to. I find it helpful to open a Zoom window on that line (Shift+F2 when it is selected). Another way is to view the system tables (Tools menu, Options option, View tab, click on System Objects). The MSysObjects table will have a Connect column with the same database connection information then the ForeignName column tells the table/view. You can only view the information in these places, you can't change the settings.

That got the query to work. I should have checked into SQL server data types. That's what happens when engineers put me outside my comfort zone. Now another question if I may. Is there a way to tell if a SQL server or Oracle link is to a table or a view? -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of James Barash Sent: Monday, September 26, 2005 9:44 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Pass Trough Query to SQL Server There is no data type DOUBLE in SQL Server. Try changing that to float.

Also found an error with a space before 05. Took out the space. Now get an error of incorrect syntax near ;. Removed the ; and get a message of incorrect syntax near DOUBLE. Persistence will prevail. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Susan Harkins Sent: Monday, September 26, 2005 9:17 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Pass Trough Query to SQL Server It's possible that you don't need the keyword COLUMN but why don't you try running the statement in Query Analyzer and see what kind of error you get -- might be a more helpful message. Just a thought. Susan H. ALTER Table dbo_Sharon_Ridge ADD COLUMN SR_CO2_Sep_ 05 DOUBLE I get the following message when I try to run the query ODBC - call failed [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'COLUMN'.
