Question : SQL in Access

I have an Access DB from a client.  I set up an ODBC data source and am executing SQL queries using ADO via Javascript in an HTML page.  This is all set up on a single PC.

The client has provided SQL queries, but manay of them do not work due to apparent SQL syntax differences between Access 2003 /  JET engine and SQL Server.  Specifically I have found compatability issues with:

TOP (10) PERCENT
CASE...WHEN
and parentheses requirements around JOIN statements...

Is there any way to update / upgrade the database engine so that the SQL statements that work with SQL Server will work unmodified?  I doubt it, but thought I would ask.....

Answer : SQL in Access

i could be wrong but prob not. knowing when to use double and single quotes is had -prob going to be your biggest problem- along with parentheses.
