  • 0

I have a pretty standard database sitting on SQL Server. To manage the data (instead of creating a solution using an IDE) I’ve linked to the database using MS-Access (4 users as a start. I’m testing a concept and a full solution can be developed once there’s enough data).

*MS-Access > New file > Project using exiting data…
*Specify SQL Server server
*Create forms and so forth. Data now available/editable in Access.

Considering the sql database isn’t always going to be running on my laptop, the Access file’s server reference will have to change.

How do you modify/redefine the datalink between the Access file and the SQL server? Is this possible?
