CROSS POSTED Neophyte question ... Windows 7. Access 2010. SQL Server2008R2. In my ODBC Data Source I have set up a UserDSN and a SystemDSN, pointing to the SQL back-end I'm reporting from (copy of customer's SQL back-end, on my PC). When I send the Access 2010 front end to the customer to test, the LinkedTable Manager re-links to the SQL tables OK but the PassThroughQueries fail. I checked the PassThroughQuery Properties, and the ODBC Connect String includes "ODBC;DSN=myName; ..." etc. The PTQ is coughing at the lack of resolution of 'myName'. I checked at the customer site and they don't have any UserDSN or SystemDSN set. They are relying on a DSN file. When they use the LinkedTable manager it strips my 'DSN=' from the table re-connection ... how do I cope with the same on PassThrough Queries? Stephen Bond
