My company is converting from Oracle to SQL Server 2005. My front end is
Microsoft Access 2003.
In the conversion, they changed our customer and transaction numbers from
decimal fields to BigInt. When I do a make table query in Access, those
fields change to text as it is my understanding Access does not support
BigInt.
Am I correct?
Many of my applications use a combination of make table and append queries
to get the data I need (most of my stuff my run standalone with no network
connection). Linking the tables through queries, reports, etc., will not
work with inconsistent data types for key fields like customer numbers.
Am I correct that I'm going to have to use all append queries so I can keep
the fields numbers like they belong??
Thanks for your help!
