| You can link the tables in code, naming them yourself or just rename the linked tables - it doesn't actually change the table name, just the name seen by Access. Access adds that as you can have two tables in SQL Server with the same name and different owners. You can have a dbo.Customers and someuser.Customers. Access adds the owner to differentiate the objects. -Sue On Mon, 19 Dec 2005 12:47:39 -0500, Max Yaffe <myaffe@not.gamry.com> wrote: >Why does the ODBC Link Table utility prepend "dbo_" to each table I've >linked into an Access database?
