Answer 1

You cannot create a view in MS Access 2007, it is not supported. However, you can create a query to return the data that you need.

See MSDN for Create View Statement.

The Microsoft Access database engine does not support the use of CREATE VIEW, or any of the DDL statements, with non-Microsoft Access database engine databases.

But creating a SELECT query is the same as a View in that you can retrieve data and use it by other queries.

For example, if you create a query called GetQuery1 which performs the following:

SELECT *
FROM table1

If you want to use this like a view, you can call this directly from another query:

SELECT *
FROM GetQuery1
