    Ms access linked sql server table update problem

    Hi All,
    1. Created table in SQL Server 2K with Primary key as int Identity
    2. Link to table in MS Access 2K with child table
    3. Using form in MSAccess to update the both master and child linked table

    I want SQL server to automatically update the int identity column as it
    would normally. i.e. no need to enter a value even though it is a NOT
    NULL field. SQL Server recognises this , allows the row details to be
    entered without the int identity and creates it when moving to the next
    blank row (in Enterprise Manager) or allows an Insert in Query Analyser
    without the int column used (in fact it demands that the int column is
    not in the Insert)

    How do I update the row in Access, as it returns an error message
    saying that the int column cannot be null. The properties cannot be
    changed as it is a linked table. I would appreciate help from those
    that KNOW the answer as I have tried all the silly ideas such as trying
    to set the int identity to NULL in SQL Server (which is not allowed of
    course but it was a long shot!)

    You've managed to put me off from even looking at your question.
    Good luck.
