Linked Table Query Returning Incorrect Results

Aug18
2010
Leave a Comment Written by admin

We had this annoying problem: a simple query in Access to a linked table (using ODBC and MS SQL server) returned incorrect results, though the same query returned correct results in MS SQL server. By incorrect I mean the field values were different, so rather than returning AZ, the query returned BZ (some other value in that field).

We thought that it was a table size issue, may be the driver could not handle huge data. However, the problem was with the “unique record identifier” while linking the table, as JM reported here. I did not have this problem any longer when I did not select any fields for the unique record identifier while linking the table.
