The next picture shows the stored procedure ByCity on the SQL Express server.
By using Access projects you are leveraging a great back end database with an extremely user friendly front end. Access Project, which was not supported in Access 2003, is now supported except for special features like attachments, multi-valued fields etc.
Creating a project is not very obvious (a function which should have been user friendly). Also the rationale for saving the stored procedure as a query is also not clear. Furthermore when the parameterized query was run with a default value for the "City," the columns displayed appeared to be duplicated. A modify button or control would have been very useful to modify the stored procedure. However a beta version of Access 2007 was used in this tutorial and perhaps the final version may have some of these problems modified.
