MS Access not seeing tables with Revoke columns

  • We have a table from which only one column has been revoked from a database role.

    Now, when we try to attach that table in MS Access (with ODBC, using a user in that role), it doesn't show up in the list.

    Anyone has an idea why?

    We will probably end up using a view (without the column) but I wanted to know if anyone has another solution.

    Thanks!

  • You are right, it does not work.

    You can create a view, preferably an Indexed View if the table is large.

    I tried to find out why Access is limited but I was unsuccessful.

    Perhaps I should have searched more but this is a mystery to me for I have been working with Access since 2.0 ( I hate to admit that).

    Please try and if you run into issues I will try to assist you.

  • Thank you for your reply. I've searched a little on the web but found nothing about that problem.

    We have decided to create a view and informed the users of the situation. It's not that big of a table (< 25k rows) and only used in reports (MS Access) but we'll keep on eye on performance just in case it needs indexing.

    Thanks again!
