Linking Tables From SQL Server withou the Owner Name in Front of It

Asked by ccorrente in Microsoft Access Database

Tags: sql, owner, access, server, table

Hello,

When I link tables from SQL Server into Access, I notice that it appends the owner name to the front of the table.  For example, if I have a table defined in SQL server called "User", when I link that table into access, the linked table name is "dbo_User".  However, we recently converted from an Access backend to a SQL Server backend, and all of my VB code and forms refer to the tables witout the "dbo_" in front of it.  I can simply change the name of the linked table, but I have over 50 tables and I don't want to have to do this each time I refresh my linked tables.  Is there anyway to link the tables into Access without having the owner name appended to the front of the table?  I noticed that if I do it via the upsizing wizard, the owner name does NOT get appended to the front of the table name.  But how do I stop it from getting appended if I am just using File->Get External Data->Link tables?
