Question : SQL Server ODBC Link to read/write access table

Hi All I have the following code working that it is relinking my ODBC table correctly from SQL Server 2005.  The only problem is it is linking all of them READ ONLY.  I need some of the tables to be Read/Write.  How can I do this?

The ODBC table structure is
Column Name Data Type Allow Nulls
ID      int      Unchecked
[DataBase]      nvarchar(50)      Checked
UID      nvarchar(50)      Checked
PWD      nvarchar(50)      Checked
UseTrustedConnection      bit      Checked
Server      nvarchar(50)      Checked
ODBCTableName      nvarchar(90)      Checked
LocalTableName      nvarchar(90)      Checked
DSN      nvarchar(50)      Checked

Answer : SQL Server ODBC Link to read/write access table

Public Sub LinkTable(strServer As String, strDataBase As String, _

  DoCmd.TransferDatabase acLink, "ODBC Database", strConn, _
                         acTable, strODBCTableName, strLocalTableName
End Sub


Public Function DNSLessConnection(strServer As String, strDataBase As String) As String
  '"ODBC;Driver={SQL Server};Server=SQLADMIN1;Database=MYSQLDB;Trusted_Connection=Yes"
   DNSLessConnection = "ODBC;Driver={SQL Server};"
   DNSLessConnection = DNSLessConnection & "Server=" & strServer & ";"
   DNSLessConnection = DNSLessConnection & "DATABASE=" & strDataBase & ";"
   DNSLessConnection = DNSLessConnection & "Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
End Function

This causes a dialog box to come up and the user must select the index fields.  Any way to eliminate the need for the dialog box?
