Used to be for me also a year or three ago. This new go-round (I spent
three plus years not having to deal with MS Access) it has been anything
but smooth. The few times before it was a slam dunk.

Philippe, this is the term I was missing. 'Linked' ODBC tables. For some
reason when I created the Access portion last week there was no ODBC data
sources for linked tables ... I think. Probably had something else in
mind when I tried using this option. No there wasn't. It's working now.

Thanks to all for suggestions and a couple of clue-sticks.
