Sql – Using Access 2003 ADP/Project files to access SQL Server 2005 database

adpms-accesssqlsql serversql-server-2005

We use Access Project files to connect with SQL Server.

Our SQL Server 2000 has been upgraded to SQL Server 2005 and now my project files are reporting an incompatibility and the error "This recordset is not updatable" when trying to modify data.

So:

1) Will upgrading to Access 2007 and then creating project files solve this problem?

2) If upgrading to the latest version of Access is not an option, is there a plugin or Microsoft converter I can download to allow Access 2003 to open SQL Server 2005 databases?

Thanks.
