Yes, create a new query to your SQL Server. While focused on this query, go into Advanced Editor and copy the "Source=" line. Close out of Advanced Editor and click on your other query that has Access as the data source. Open up Advanced Editor and replace the Source line with the one that you copied. You may also have to do something with the navigation line, etc. but that's the basic concept.
