    Does an Access query negate the benefits of utilizing SQL

    I don't like writing SQL in Access, SQL-Server (Management Studio) is much more comfortable. The "inteelligence" is on the server with us. And we usually fill the fields in access with vba, not link to actual tables.

    Most secure way of connecting to SQL Server.

    Windows authentication seems the way to go, at least for me. But we don't allow users to access SQL-Server, only groups. And for the groups we define specific roles.

    Hello from Switzerland

    Hi Richard Your "job" sounds very intriguing and exciting. Music therapy is very complex and depends on the field you are working in. You could be working with people whose communication skills have been diminished (or not developed very much yet), as for instance with newly Borns, people in...

    Hello from Switzerland

    Hi My name is Chris(toph) and I restarted working with Access in Mai because I found a job as a controller and that is what I am supposed to do. I started programming in the 90s on apple macs with Think Pascal. I love music and I graduated as a music therapist in 2016, but could only find a job...
