SQL Server 2000, Win 2000 Access 97
I have an Access FrontEnd and BackEnd
The backend tables have been imported (Data Transformation Services) into ab SQL Server Database.
Much of the data was not of the type required - e.g. nVarChar needed to be VarChar
These transformations were carried out using SQL EnterpriseManager > DesignTable
The Access Front End worked Fine.
PROBLEM
For security reasons one tables, Companies, was dropped.
Now after re-importing the table (Data Transformation Services)
and running a script (SQL Query Analyser)
[ example line of script > ALTER TABLE dbo.Companies Alter Column CompanyName VarChar(50) ]
This reports success.
The datatypes are now reported to be as required (SQL EnterpriseManager > Design Table)
Inspecting the data in the ACCESS 97 front end is fine
BUT - attempts to update the data give an ERROR
The import of the error is that the ACCESS front end is trying to update a text field BUT the server is still telling the access Front end that the datatype is nVarChar [NOT VarChar - as currently reported by SQL Enterprise Manager]
NOTE - the Access Front End first deletes ALL the tableDefs then recreates them with an ODBC connection to the Server
All the other tables (apart from Companies) are still updateable as they were before.

Do you have a last Service Pack installed on the SQL Server?
Looks strange. I just did some testing and it works just fine
Try to create a table first and then run DTS to update the table.
