We have a huge Access database located on a server, but now it is going very slow due to the transport of Mb file to the clients.

We could export the tables to a SQL server and attach the tables to the access clients.

So the question is, will access still treat the tables as it use to or could we expect access SQL querys to request the sql server as normal. Will access process the query on the client side?

Thanks

You can still use access as frontend to pass sql queries to sql server.

Yes i know that, the question was: would access (as a client) transfer the whole table, as it does with the original access tables, or just the selected records? I am thinking of network load.

Just selected records if tables are on sql server and you don't link them in access.
