Offline mode ?

Hi all,
I am designing and testing a report using an ODBC connection. The
report is short (one or two pages) but the SQL request has many tables
and takes several minutes. Being in development phase I don't need the
datas to be refreshed from SQL database every time I click on
"preview" to see the report, but this is what happens (I find no other
reason for so long response time...). So I spend a lot of time waiting
for response.
Is there a kind of "offline" mode to see layout modifications without
refreshing datas every time ?
Thanks !
Jean-MarcTry using your SQL query to export the data from the multiple tables into a
single table. For your development and testing, base your report data on the
single table.
Using Query Analyzer, do:
SELECT * INTO MyTable FROM (rest of complex query)
Now base your test report on the data in MyTable. (You can also use DTS to
create the single table, and can even export the data into a local Access
table).

ODBC security problem

Hi, I've a Access 2003 program with linked tables to a sqlexpress configured
with mixed mode security.
From clients XP no problem.
From clients 2000 MSACCESS don't get the right configuration from ODBC
source, because try to conect with Windows Authentication Mode security, but
the source is configurated with mixed mode. If I refresh the linked tables
and change the password, works fine, but when I close MSACCESS and open
again, fail.
Anybody knows where's the bug? In ODBC driver? MSACCESS?You could be hitting an MDAC bug where the authentication
mode setting is ignored and windows authentication is always
used. Refer to:
FIX: SQL Server ODBC Driver Ignores Authentication Setting
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=279526
You can use component checker to verify the version and MDAC
installation on any of the clients. You can download
component checker and MDAC versions from this site:
