I am attempting to connect an Access front end to a existing SQL Server table housed in a SDE Geodatabase.  Can someone please point me to a source on how to accomplish this task?  Thank you!!!

Hi Mark,

Are you using Microsoft Access 2010?  If so, take a look at the information under 'Link to SQL Server Data' within the following link.

A few things you should consider when dealing with a SDE table/feature class.  If the data is registered as versioned, the edits will be stored in the delta (A & D) tables.  In this case, it would be best to create a versioned view and access this view to view the edits. 

Or, you can perform a compress of the geodatabase.  This will move the edits from the delta tables to the base table.
