Access and SQL Server Database Developer

Question

This may be a silly question, but I want to make sure I'm correct. I have a query I created in SQL Server Express 2008 R2 which created a file with the sql extension.
I'm using Access 2010 and I want to link the this sql file with the extension of sql in Access.  I can link to tables and views from SQL Server and able to view it in Access, but I can't open the sql file from Access.  I'm thinking I can only
view tables and views in SQL Server from Access?
If that's the case can someone explain what I doing wrong when I try to care a view with a filter and sort:
This is the error message is get:
Msg 1033, Level 15, State 1, Procedure VideosListFilter, Line 7
The ORDER BY clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived tables, subqueries, and common table expressions, unless TOP or FOR XML is also specified.
use Videos;
go
create view Inventory.VideosListFilter
as
select Type, VideoName
from Inventory.Videos
where Type <> 'xxxx'
and Type <> 'DVD'
order by Type desc , VideoName asc
Hope someone can help?

The ORDER BY clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived tables, subqueries, and common table expressions, unless TOP or FOR XML is also specified.
Hello Xavier,
in MS Access you can use an ORDER BY clause in a view without any restriction; but not in SQL Server, here we have several restriction; even because an ORDER BY in a view don't make sense! You have to use a
TOP clause like:
create view Inventory.VideosListFilter
as
select TOP 100 PERCENT Type, VideoName
from Inventory.Videos
where Type <> 'xxxx'
and Type <> 'DVD'
order by Type desc , VideoName asc
