Question

We have an Access DB which has a set of local tables and input forms etc. in which a user maintains their data.

We also have a SQL DB with the same tables which is used to displays the data in a web search form.

What is the best way to allow the user to udate his changes to the SQL db while keeping the working copy local so he can work offline and then push the files when he is happy with new version of the data?

My first thought was add the SQL tables as linked tables I could then truncate (access does like that) or delete the content in each table and then do an insert for each table.

Can I call a SP from access on the SQL to truncate the tables as I am have problem running deletes

I really do want to get it down to the user running a macro/sql call that is repeatable etc.

Thanks for your help

You should be able to use the ADODB.Command object to execute stored procedures.

EDIT:

This example is copied from Using ADO in VB and Access

Sub ADO_COMMAND_CONNECTION_TEST() Dim cmd As New ADODB.Command Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Dim strConn As String      cmd.ActiveConnection = ' DRIVER={SQL Server};' & _       'Server=UKDUDE;DATABASE=pubs;UID=sa;PWD=;'     cmd.CommandText = 'byroyalty'     cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc     cmd.Parameters.Refresh     cmd.Parameters(1).Value = 25      Set rs = cmd.Execute  ' Recordset now has authors with 25% royalty.....  End Sub
