That's right, you can't create an index on a linked table or view using design view.
You can however create the indexes in SQL Server Management Studio - and then you will see in design view of the table or view in Access.

The SGL Server view has two indexes on one of the underlying tables. When I link to the table through access it of course allows for only one index. If I open the table in design view it, add an index and close the table access responds "Microsoft Office Access can't save property changes for linked tables".

You can make indexes on a SQL Server view provided that the view meets some conditions (among others the view must be made with schemabinding and no outer joins are allowed).
The first index created must always be a unique clustered index. Then you can build additional non clustered indexes on the view.
You say you are able to create one index your view. Then your view seems to meet the conditions, and I don't understand why you shouldn't be able to create additional indexes.
What error do you get? From where do you try to create this index (a query in SQL Server Management Studio, an Access query, a procedure in an Access module)?

Is it possible to create two separate indexes to a SQL server view. One is no problem but two has me stumped. Thanks.
