    I have noticed diagrams showing Microsoft SQL Server accepting SQL statements sent by “SQL Requesters” over connections. I would like to know if Microsoft Access can be used in that fashion? Put another way, can Access be configured to accept an SQL statement that another program (e.g. a VBA...
