We recently upgraded a number of databases from MS Access 2000 to SQL Server 2000. I need to make it so that users can display the data from the SQL Server so I created some link tables in Access for them to view the data without using SQL Server Enterprise Manager. This works fine in tables with only a few thousand rows of data. However some of the tables have 100K+ rows of data, and these are not displaying the data. When someone tries to view the data in one of these tables all they see is #Deleted in every column. Is it possible to link to tables in SQL Server with large numbers of rows and view this info in Access?

I guess access (being a file database) is not capable of handling, an enterprise system

Why not use query analyzer ???

Do all of your tables in your SQL Server database have primary keys?

We have around 100K rows linked to Access 97 from SQL Server with no problem. Have you looked at the timeout settings on the options | advanced tab in Access. We have had to tweak some of the options in there in the past.
