Transform Your Microsoft Access Back-End into a Makeshift Database Server - Part 1

In this tutorial, I'll explore how to transform Microsoft Access into a makeshift database server. This can be a handy solution for small-scale applications and proof-of-concept projects. We will pass SQL statements to an Access back-end database that will process our requests and send only the data we need back to the front-end. This is much like what a real database server, such as SQL Server, does. Taylor from Shawnee, Kansas (a Platinum Member) asks: In your Cache Locally video, you showed us how to download a complete set of data from the back-end database, like all customers from Florida. However, our local workstation still has to pull all of the records from the back end. Isn't there a way to make the back-end database smarter so that it can figure out what we need and send us only that?
