Ok,

I'm fairly new to SQL so sorry if this is obvious.

I have two Databases on the same SQL server, and I want to duplicate a table from one in the other, but with two requirements.

1. Ideally I would like any changes in the data in the first to be automatically updated in the second.
2. I need to change the data type of the primary key from Bigint to Float in the process.

I tried a DTS package, which created the second table fine, the problem I have is making a dynamic link.

I have also tried a CREATE VIEW with both CAST and CONVERT in the first Db but to no avail. (This is all so I can link to an Access front end and it can't handle Bigint in the PK, I just get #Deleted in every cell.)

Any thought? It seems as though it should be easy but I can't figure it.
