Can I create pass-through queries in an Access frontend
.mdb - then NOT give my users permissions to view the underlying tables in
SQL Server. Our goal is to allow paramertized queries with limited output,
but not allow any SQL Server users to link to the huge SQL Server tables via
ODBC.

OR - Are "user-defined functions" the same as Views - so we could link to
those from an .mdb instead of to whole table views.

We do need to pass in paramters. AND - the Access .mdb cannot be converted
to a project.

Thanks for any help and your experiences.
