Can't update/append thru Access

  • Hello all,

    Ugh. Soooo frustrating.

    I have an Access front end connected to a local SQL backend. In EM, I can create a new table and add records with no problem.

    But in Access, I can see the table only; I can't add any new records. This has got to be a permission problem, right?

    Any insights would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • Well, ya learn something new every day.

    I hammered away at this and realized:

    If I created a primary key in the table, then Access allowed me to add records. Without the primary key, Access showed the grayed-out icon for adding records.

    I'm not sure why it behaves this way, but I'm glad I found the answer :^)

    And I hope this helps someone else who may have gotten stuck on this.

    Also, this is the first time that I have responded to my own post.....heh heh heh....life as a SQL newbie.
