I have SQL Server running on a network and ACCESS db looks at it for the data. I have a computer in a remote office and I want to update my ACCESS db to look at that remote server. What do I need for it?

Connect Access DB to SQL Server using File, Get External Data option in Access.

I must not be explaining myself well enough....

I want to link to table sources that are stored in SQL. To connect to the SQL table I need the ODBC setup. I cannot connect to the SQL Server via ODBC when I am not on the LAN.

How do I connect via ODBC to my SQL Server when I am in a remote office?

You'll have to set up an odbc connection to your SQL server and use it for Access.
