If the Access system is using linked tables then you can place update triggers on the tables you want to watch. The triggers can cause something to happen ....... for example, we have an email process that watches a table for emails to be sent - if a job drops something into the correct table the job takes it and emails it out. You &nbsp;could do something like that. <br />
<br />
So far as macros are concerned, that would be more difficult - you'd need to build something into the macro code ...

The 'trigger' feature in Access 2010 accdb files referred to by DepKing is called 'Data Macros' . &nbsp;This is new in A2010 - there is a tutorial here:<br />

As DepKing says you have to make changes to the Access database to achieve either/both of your aims.

Invoke a sql job when MS Access table is updated

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.
