I am attempting to create a View from MS Access 2000 SR-1 to an MSDE 2000
(SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine) database . I accessed with exclusive rights
but I get the following error when trying to create a view:

"You do not have exclusive access to the database at this time. Your design
changes will not be saved."

how can I get ability to create views ?

I'd recommend not using Access as a development tool for SQL Server
objects. Use the Query Analyzer or Enterprise Manager instead. The
error message you're getting is an Access error, not a SQL Server
error.

Hi Mary:

Thanks for replying (I have your book, Developer's guide to SQL Server).

Unfortunately, I don't have the Query Analyzer or Enterprise Manager , so I
was hoping to use access as a front end.

is there any way access can be a front end to msde ?

MSDE is not a development platform, it's a deployment platform. I would
suggest that you spend the <$50 required to purchase SQL Server Developer
Edition. It contains everything you'll need to develop for the SQL Server
and MSDE platforms (really the same thing).

I'll even go out on a limb and predict that Mary will say the same thing.
:-)

Yes, you can use Access as a front end to MSDE, but you'll likely find the
tools she mentioned easier to use to create and manage your database.
