MORE INFORMATION
If your application accesses an SQL Server-based table when you are not the table owner, and then you try to use the Filter By Form functionality, Access internally generates a WHERE clause that contains the owner.table.column syntax. However, the Microsoft Office XP Client Data Manager cannot process this syntax. Therefore, you may see the error message in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section. The error message is generated when you try to apply the filter. If you try to access the table, and you are the table owner, Access uses the table.column syntax.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

 * 1) Create a new domain user in the domain where the computer that is running SQL Server is located. Grant the user who you create access to the Pubs database, and then give the user the db_datareader role.
 * 2) Start Microsoft Access.
 * 3) In the New File dialog box, click Project (Existing Data).
 * 4) In the File Name box, type the new Access project name, and then click Create.
 * 5) In the Data Link Properties dialog box, type the name of the computer that is running SQL Server, click Use a specific user name and password, and then type the user credentials that you created in step 1.
 * 6) In the Select the database on the server box, click pubs, and then click OK.
 * 7) Double-click the authors (dbo) table.
 * 8) On the Records menu, point to Filter, and then click Filter By Form.
 * 9) In the state column, type CA.
 * 10) On the Filter menu, click Apply Filter/Sort.

Notice that you receive the error message in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section.
