We're just getting into SQL. Took two 1-week courses on it 2 years age, so I'm a bit rusty. I have a Microsoft Access database that I have upsized to a .adp file and linked to the tables on the sql server. Now, all of my queries are gone. I have to create views now, right? How do I create a view that asks the user to enter some data. Example, I want a prompt to come up and ask the user to enter the street name they want to search the database for.

Creating a view that asks the user to enter data

With SQL Server you should have gotten Books OnLine (Start>Programs>Microsoft SQL Server> Books OnLine). Refer to Create Procedure.
Basically the syntax is:
CREATE PROCEDURE myprocedurename
@myvariable VARCHAR(30)
AS
SELECT columnname1, columnname2
FROM mytable
WHERE columnname2 = @myvariable
The @myvariable is a variable (or parameter) that allows user input.
This procedure would be run as:
EXEC myprocedurename 'input'
input would be replaced with whatever the user was to input for the search.
