Correct, MS Access can do ODBC to Db2 and create a linked table. The linked table gives a live representation of the Db2 table.
In SQL Server, the "#" is OK if you enclose the column name in square brackets (e.g. [CUSTOMER#]). I can't say about MS Access.

Subject: RE: MS Access Database
I think it is possible. I have an access program that uses idata. You define the data field in the access database as a "linked odbc" table. At least that's how I did it and it works. I can get you more information if you need it... Define the table(s) as Linked odbc...I hope this makes sense. I was only linking my customer master. I did end up redefining my customer master because if I recall, I couldn't have any fields in it with # signs or something like that. Stupid and weird...but I made it a linked odbc table
