Referencing a SQL table when using an XML import in Access

    I am importing an XML file into an access db. The table I want the file appended to is a linked SQL table. Each time I try to do this, I get import errors, saying it would create duplicate records. I have tried using a blank SQL table and still get this error.

     

    Here is the code I am using, and it works fine if I want to append to a local table in access. Is there some way I should reference the SQL table??

    Sub ImportXMLFile()

    Dim objBudInfo As AdditionalData

    Set objBudInfo = Application.CreateAdditionalData

    Application.ImportXML "L:\AFH\ISI\ITSollutions\Prog_Devl\Annbud\Design\Test.xml", acAppendData

    End Sub

    This is just an idea, because I don't know anything about what you are doing.  But if I were trying to get an XML file into SQL Server, I think I would have Access run a DTS package (if that is possible) rather than trying to have Access copy the data to a linked SQL table.  Please remember, this is just an idea because I have just shared as much as I know.  Sorry I can't really help.

    You have verified that the xml document is going to create a distinct value in the primary key.
