access forms for SQL database
- Thread starter john74
- Start date
Yes, quite easily.
1) Setup an ODBC connection to you SQL Database. Be sure to configure your client connection with TCP/IP - it will usually default to NetBIOS. There are a few threads here that detail the steps - otherwise let me know.
2) In Access - select File, Get External Data, Link Tables,
then select Files of Data Type = ODBC databases() and your SQL database name will appear here - Select the proper Database (configured in 1- above) and OK - there are your SSQL Tables.
Takes a little practice - but it works great,
