Access 2003 Project Connecting to SQL 2000 & 2005 Servers

We have an Access 2003 Project that it's primary server is a SQL 2000 server. When I link a table to the 2000 server and execute the view, I get data with no problem. I link a table to the 2005 server and execute the view...once again, no problem. However, if I try to write a query to pull data from both views......times out. I have changed the timeout value to "0" and never returns the data.

So then I created a new Access 2003 Project to use the 2005 as the primary server. Once again I create a linked table and execute the view on the SQL 2000 server and it works just fine. Then create a linked table to the 2005 server and the view works just fine. However, here's the difference. When I try to create a query to pull data from both views, I get:

1. This version of Microsoft Office Access doesn’t support design changes with the version of Microsoft SQL Server your Access project is connected to. See the Microsoft Office Update Web site for the latest information and downloads. Your design changes will not be saved.

2. You have connected to a version of SQL Server later than SQL Server 2000. The version of Visual Studio or Access that you are using was released before the version of SQL Server to which you are connected. For this reason, you might encounter problems. Please check with Microsoft to see if there is a service pack that you should apply to Visual Studio or Office in order to get support for the version of SQL Server to which you are connected. You can continue but any new object types might not be enumerated, and it will not be possible to save any objects or database diagrams that you create using the Visual Database Tools.

Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm stuck and wish I could make this happen.

PS:....

The version of Access 2003 specifically is: Microsoft ? Office Access 2003 (11.6566.6568) SP2

I've even made two linked tables to the 2005 server and executed each view by themselves and it worked fine. However, if I try to create a query off of those linked tables, same errors just posted above.

I'm afraid that Access ADPs aren't going to work all that smoothly with SQL Server 2005--they are created for SQL Server 2000 and earlier. If you're creating a new app, it's recommended that you use an mdb with linked tables because it gives you more flexibility. ADPs were designed around the scenario that you would connect to *one* SQL Server database, not multiple databases. One option if you must use ADPs is to create views to access data in another database. You can then use those views in your Access FE.

about Transaction's problem

There is a table named users in my database.
It has two colume:
userName varchar(20)
age int
now I execute the follow transaction:
begin tran
insert users (userName,age) values ('mark',25)
insert users (userName,age) values ('jack',2577777777777767777)
commit tran
obviously,the second setence has an overflow error,
the question is:has the first record been inserted into the users table?
why?

Because you told it to. You need error checking (or try/catch in SQL 2005)
to prevent execution from moving from the line that generates the error to
the line that commits the transaction.

About Count(Distinct) in AS

Hi,
Could Cube or MDX in Analysis Services execute "Count(Distinct)" or
"Sum(IIF())" Syntax?
If it could be, how could I open or write Count(Distinct) or Sum(IIF())
function or syntax in Cube?
As we know, MDX could execute Sum(IIF()), and how about Count(Distinct)?
Thanks!You can add an MDX expression in the cube definition, then the results of
the expression will be available as a cube cell, without re building the
cube...THis can be done in the cube editor of AS.
