I have a SQL server database which needs to be linked to MS Access forms.
I have a table with one column as both Identity and is a also a primary key and is big int
But after linking the table , if i open the design window of table in MS access , it is converted as text .
Why it is converting the Identity column to Text while linking.

Bigint is not a datatype supported by access. If you wanted the value to stay as a numeric value in access you would have to change the source column in the SQL server table to numeric(19,0).
