All:
I am wondering if one can connect to more than one SQL DB. I would like to
create a front end that connects to more than one SQL Server backend.
For instance, I would like to keep the main database separate from a postal
code database. Then the postal code DB can be used for other databases and
manages separately.
Is the database file type, MDB, file the only method or can an Access
project be used, ADP? Can this be done by linking tables, preferred Access
and time constraints, or will a ADO connection need to be programmed,
preferred by .NET or VB?
If this can be completed using linked tables, please provide or point to a
step-by-step guide for linking tables without using "My Data Connectons",
thank you.
