Hi,

It seems you still miss the fundamental point that Access is NOT a
database engine and that JET is not more, not less, underlying to Access
than MS SQL Server actually is. Access and Jet, or MS SQL Server is like
Visual Studio 7.x with classical VC++, or Managed C++. There is nothing
underlying Access "exclusively", except by misconception (or wrong selection
of terms).

Who spoke ANY thing about adp? let see... the first newsgroup in
the list of newsgroups is anything but exactly that.

And as for the triggers, your correct that they can be created for SQL
Server which is NOT Access. Access's underlining database is Jet which does
NOT support triggers. Can we please drop it now?

Yes, I saw that way after my initial post and have already acknowledged my
error and the post mentioned nothing about using Access as a front end to
SQL Server. Since Access could NOT function without Jet, I do not believe
your analogy holds weight since the same applies for SQL Server. Without
it's underlying database engine it would pretty much be useless. Try
removing Jet from your system and launching Access and tell me what
happens...

Hi,


Well, last time you used Access was probably more than six years ago,
with Access 97. Indeed, with Access 2000, you can use it without DAO and
without Jet at all, just with MSDE or any other version of MS SQL Server,
all alone, natively, no Jet. Sure, you CAN also continue to use JET too, if
this is what you want (and that seems what most people still continue to
do), but that is no more an absolute pre-requisite.
