Hi,
I am helping port an application to SQL Server and the DBA wants to use
application roles. The application runs fine without access roles, but when
we turn them on a number of strange failures occur.
After doing some research I am starting to wonder how practical it is to use
Application roles in Access applications that have linked tables used by
local querydefs, reports, passthrough queries, etc. I can see it work for
straight ADO calls to the database, but not in these scenarios. Also, since
Access sometimes makes multiple hidden connections to a database how do you
handle these with Application Roles? Can anyone provide me some advice?
