I am using MS Access 2010 and I already have sharepoint linked table created in the database.
I wanted to know how i can create indexes on this linked table. When i am going to design view of linked table and clicking on indexes cloumn getting message like this property can not be modified in linked table.
I am actually trying to run one query on top of linked table and its taking very time to return resutls when doing Analyze performance then getting message of creating indexes on few fields of linked table.
You can most certainly create and set the indexes from Access with a linked table to SharePoint.
The way you do this is bring up the linked table in table view (not design view). Then in the ribbon you click on the index button. Here is a screen shot:
You can also of course if you want bring up the table on the SharePoint site and also add the index that way.
Note that you can also use this layout mode to add new columns to the SharePoint tables from Access.
