Access Truncating Linked ODBC field names
Hello, I've created a link to an ODBC table in Access 2007. The table (or view) has some field names that are too long, and Access has truncated those names when creating the link. As a result, I cannot include those truncated fields in a access query. I've tried overwriting the field name to the complete version, but access does not recognize it. Is there a work around for this issue? I've been told that the group that maintains the table will not consider changing those field names. Thank you!

I expect you could use the longer names in pass-through queries. These would not be updateable but might provide increased performance. -- Duane Hookom Microsoft Access MVP "pa1971" wrote: > Hello, I've created a link to an ODBC table in Access 2007.

Sometimes, Access asks the ODBC driver (which is supposed to ask the target DBMS) how long its identifiers (catalog, table, and field names) can be -- and the driver, or even the DBMS, gives the wrong answer. This can happen if your ODBC driver isn't version-matched to the target DBMS server, among other causes. You didn't say what your target DBMS is, but my employer, OpenLink Software, makes 'several drivers' (http://tinyurl.com/yd4mvvg) you can try free for 2 weeks. Hope that helps!
