Dear Folks,

I have got a database that was developed in access,with an access front end. Was later moved to SQl Server, so that more people can use it at the same time. In short the problem i am having now after moving this database to sql is that it would not allow me add values to the database using the access front end. But i am able to add values or data on the back end in sql server.
Question is what are the possible reasons why iam not able to enter data via the access front end.

Thanks in Advance,
V David.

you can work with Sql server tables in Access by using Link Table Options

Are you using the EXACT SAME user credentials in Access that you are when directly in SQL Server? Perhaps it's a permissions problem. Have these been somehow marked as Read-Only? (Don't know how you'd do that, just a guess). You might try deleting the link in Access and re-creating it to see if the problem goes away.

GENERAL-ly speaking...

Take a look at this link, near the very bottom:

If your SQL Server tables don't have primary keys, Access can't update rows, and may not be able to insert new rows either.
