When I connect Access 2007 to SQL Server (whether by ADO recordset or by linked table) I no longer get check box lists (of available filter values) in the datasheet column filters.
Is this feature available only with MDB/ACCDB and/or DAO?

I think the check box in datasheet view of native Access tables is governed by the “Display Control” property in the table design. I don’t recall what’s available when the table is in SQL Server. If you provide a form in “datasheet view”, you should be able to bind a check box control to the SQL Server column.
Edit: I think I misunderstood your question yesterday. If you click the Office Button, select Current Database, then put a check in the “ODBC fields” box under “Filter lookup options” … does that do what you want?
