sql server - Rows showing as #DELETED

Question

I have rows of data in a table showing as #DELETED on one computer when using Access but they are fine in both the SQL database and on other computers using Access. It seems to be only the latest 200 rows. The Access 2007 versions and ODBC MSJet drivers look to be the same & latest on each computer. One suggestion was to change any PK or FK's to int's, but they already are.

Any ideas for a fix for this?

Answer 1

This occurs when the tables primary key value, exceeds the range that MS Access supports, usually if you are using the "BigInt" type in SQL Server, if you are only looking to read the data then just create a "snap-shot" query for the table and all rows will display correctly as the "snap-shot" does not need to read all the indexes.

If you need to update the data in these rows at any time then I suggest using an ADO recordset instead.
