Good day,

I would like to know if it is possible to refresh a MS Access report which was built from a table on SQL Server via ODBC automaticaly when I open it ?

The recordsource behind a report should show up-to-date data when you open it. It is never refreshed unless you close/re-open the report.

If the report is based on a temp table or a 'dummy' table which is loaded via some stored procedure, that's a different story and of course that proc. has to be rerun--but typically this would be part of the code behind your 'Open Report' button on whatever form you use.
