Note:

In MS Access, you can link to a table even if you do not set the scope level accordingly. This will result in tables not displaying accurate information until the scope level is set to a correct level. To set the scope_level in Access you need to create an Update Query. The following is an example of an Update Query in Access that will set the scope_level for all projects to 7 (SCOPE_LEVEL_ALL):

Note: When linking to any of the spread tables (see SpreadTables&Fields.htm) in MS Access, you will be prompted to ensure data integrity by choosing fields that uniquely identify each record. For each of the spread tables you will select the first four fields. For example, when linking to the spread table TASKRSRC_SPREADS you will need to select the fields: taskrsrc_id, spread_type, start_date and normal format to allow MS Access to uniquely identify each record in the table.
