RO tables in SQLServer from Access

Hi all
I used the import utility to move some access tables to a SQL Svr db, and
while it all seemed to go AOK, whatever I do the resultant SQL tables appear
to be read-only. There are other tables in the SQL db that will read & write
OK.
Can any one help and tell me how to make the SQL tables writable'
thanks

Does the user who operates with a table have an apropriate permissions?

updatable by database APIs. The SQL generated by the API includes the key
columns in the WHERE clause to ensure only one row is updated/deleted. This
is one reason why all tables should have a primary key.
IIRC, Access prompts you to specify the unique column(s) when a SQL Server
table is linked. This defaults to the primary key, if one exists.
Hope this helps.
