Hierarchial View of One-to-Many Related Linked Tables
I am having a problem with relationships on tables that are linked to SQL
Server via ODBC. My tables are linked and can be viewed and modified in datasheet view just fine. I can edit the relationships on the database to include these tables. The problem is when I go into datasheet view for my master table, the [+] icon to view the related data is not available. This works fine for non-linked tables. I know that the behavior is still supported because I have been using hierarchical-dataset view of linked tables for years, and one is working in this exact same database file. I am just unable to get it to work for NEW relationships since I upgraded of Access 2007. -- Joel D Kraft Case Western Reserve University |

Hi Joel,
Sorry for delaying this response for a long time since we are discussing this issue internally. Based on our tests, we did not find that the feature you described exists in Access 2003. Our tests used Orders and Order_Details table in Northwind database. Here are our results: Linked tables with relationship defined: Access 2003: Subdatasheet not present Access 2007: Subdatasheet not present Local tables with relationship defined: Access 2003: Subdatasheet present Access 2007: Subdatasheet present I am trying to confirm this with our product team, however I have not got their response now. I noticed that you said you had been using hierarchical-dataset view of linked tables for years. Could you please let us know how you did that? Look forward to your response. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Hi Charles,
You may be right that it is also not in 2003. I have been using and upgrading this particular access database for a long time. It may have originally set up this relationship in 2000 or XP!! Well now I'm doing a new project where I need this same functionality. Even though I may have created these particular relationships LONG ago, they continue to work just great in 2003 and 2007, which seems to imply to me that the functionality is still are supported in the product. (And I cannot even fathom why they would be any different than any other relationship.) Thanks!

Hi Joel,
Thank you for your response. Unfortunately Office XP and its earlier products are not supported now. Is it possible for you to implement the same feature on SQL Server 2000 Northwind database? After that, you can send me (changliw_at_microsoft_dot_com) a test copy of your database so that I can get a clear view of the function and perform further research. If it is hard for you to implement the same feature on Northwind database, could you please send me some screenshots regarding the linked table and the subset tabe when you open the linked table? Look forward to your response. Best regards, Charles Wang Microsoft Online Community Support ================================================== ======= Delighting our customers is our #1 priority.

Hi Charles, I'm not sure I can send you anything useful. My problem is that I am not able to get these linked-table relationships to work in dataset view in the recent versions of Office, but existing relationships that were upgraded from previous versions of Office before 2003 are working fine. You indicate that you were able to reproduce this behavior... You apparently already have an example that doesn't work, per your previous message. I am unable to create a new one that DOES work... so what is left? Joel |

Hi Joel,
Thank you for your response. I am sorry if I brought you any confusions. I did not want to get a not working one, but would like to get a working one from your side. I wanted to say that my tests at my side indicated that this feature was not supported in Access 2003 and 2007, however you said that this feature worked for a long time in the old version Access. That is why I wanted to get a copy of your old version Access file based on SQL Server 2000 Northwind database or some screenshot so that I can compare closely with the existing Access 2003/2007 files to see what the differences are here. Then I could further communicate with our senior support team that is closely supported by our product team. Hope this clear your confusions. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know. It is my pleasure to be of assistance.
