问题
I've updated the code with the suggestion given below, which I've tested and works great, for quick reference for future users.
I'm using the below code to create linked tables without having to set up a DSN for each user, how can I specify a primary key as you would be asked if connecting manually:
Dim sConnect As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef
Set db = CurrentDb
Set tdf = db.CreateTableDef
tdf.Name = "dbo_vwFeedback" ' - -- --- This is the Label that you see in Access...
tdf.Connect = "ODBC;DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=server01\serverinstance;DATABASE=db_name;Trusted_Connection=Yes"
tdf.SourceTableName = "vwFeedback" ' - -- --- This is the actual name in SQL Server, minus the owner.
db.TableDefs.Append tdf
CurrentDb.Execute "CREATE UNIQUE INDEX PK_dbo_vwFeedback_PrimaryKey ON dbo_vwFeedback (DataSetID, FeedbackRef) WITH PRIMARY"
NOTE: The above is for a SQL Server VIEW, it is identical for a SQL Server TABLE, but you do not need the CurrentDB.Execute
line (if your primary key is correctly set up on the Server).
The code is in the place of linking a table and specifying a primary key manually.
If you do not specifying the creation of an index for SQL Server VIEWs manually or with the above method, you will only get a READ ONLY view and you may experience erroneous data returned, see comments below for examples.

After linking the table with the code from your question, you need to do this:
CurrentDb.Execute "CREATE UNIQUE INDEX SomeIndex ON SomeTable (PrimaryKeyColumn) WITH PRIMARY"
See VBA Code to Add Linked Table with Primary Key for a complete example.
Note that you do not need to do this if you link a table - Access will detect the primary key automatically (as Remou made clear in his comment below).
But when you link a SQL Server view in Access, it is very important to specify a proper primary key for the view in Access.
If you specify the wrong key (= you select columns that don't identify a unique record) or no key at all, Access will link the view as read-only table (as you already noticed).
Plus, it will screw up the displayed rows - see Why does linked view give different results from MS Access vs SQL Manager? for more explanation.
