I have a strange something happening and I don't know why From my client workstation, when I connect to (try to link tables to) PSServer (SQL Server) I can pretty much only see a small set of views. I discovered that in order for my new views to be seen I had to set a DISCO user and a public Role for my new views, at which point I could see them from my workstation. When I try the same thing from the server that holds all of the Access database files, I can not see those same set of views but I can see a single tab which says tables, and it looks like I am only seeing tables in that tab. Once I link the view from my workstation I can see the view's contents from my workstation. When I move back to the server I cannot see the view, I get an error that the view is not a valid object or some such. I have to fix up the connect string and then it works just fine. Good:ODBC;Description=PS;DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=PSSERVER;APP=Microsoft® Access;WSID=DISABILITYINS43;DATABASE=Millennium;Trusted_Connection=Yes Bad:ODBC;Description=PS Server;DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=PSSERVER;APP=Microsoft® Access;WSID=DISABILITYINS89;Trusted_Connection=Yes I just replace the connect string I labeled Bad with the one I labeled good and (from the server) I can see the view data. And finally, if all that ain't strange enough, I can see the data from my workstation AND DiscoSvr with the original connect string. -- John W. Colby www.ColbyConsulting.com
