Siggy,
It should work fine, as long as you use SQL92 syntax (or SQL89, depending on
the ODBC driver).
The only problem comes when you use SQL syntax that Access accepts that is
not really valid in the SQL specification. I believe 'limit' is one
example, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. I'm also not
sure about 'top'.
I believe you have OpenLink's drivers installed? I'll open up access to an
SQLServer database for you tomorrow if you want to test the relevant queries
yourself.
Let me know.
Best regards,
Andrew
