Problem Using Access 2000 As A Front-end To SQL Server 2000 Tables
I've created a small company database where the tables reside in a SQLServer database. I'm using Access 2000 forms for a front end.I've got a System DSN set-up to SQL Server and am using links withinAccess 2000 to get to the SQL Server tables.My forms worked fine until I made a few minor changes to the databaseschema on SQL Server (e.g. added a foreign key, or added a column).After that, all the links break - I click on a table link and get anerror msg like "invalid object name."Deleting the links after a schema change and re-adding the links seemedto fix the problem. The forms I'd already created seemed to work fineafter re-creating the links.But then I got more advanced with my forms. I have it set up so thatfor certain entry fields, the combobox gets populated with values froma table (the description appears in the drop-down and the correspondingprimary key value gets populated in the table). I created a number offorms using this technique, entered data, and everything worked fine.Made a small schema change and it broke everything -- not the actualtable links, but the functionality for the drop-downs. My values nolonger appeared, and this was true for forms that accessed tables whoseschemas did not change.This is driving me nuts. Is there any way to keep my forms frombreaking each time I make a small schema change?Thanks.- Dana

SQL 2000 Linking Tables To Access
Hi, I need to link an Access 97 database to sql server 2000. I can't use Enterprise Manager so I have created a simple asp.net page using sp_addlinkedserver and sp_addlinkedsrvlogin. The mdb file is on a network share, then I have permissions problems: here is a sample sp_addlinkedserver 'test', 'Access 97', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', '\SVKNFS080Pshareaccess97db1.mdb', 'efco' sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'test', false, 'sa', 'Admin', NULL I have no problems executing these stored procedures (the linked server is added in sysservers table), but when I try to query the access database SELECT * FROM test...profile I get this error Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server][OLE/DB provider returned message: The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\SVKNFS080Pshareaccess97dboutlet.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.] The mdb file is not locked, I think is a permission's problem. Can anyone help me ? Thanks in advance

MS Access 2000 Link SQL 2K Tables
Anyone has any idea why I havethis problem? I have a SQL 2K database on a named instance with tables populated with data and they have no relations between them. I have a MS Access 2000 database. I have a system ODBC connection on the client computer to the SQL 2K using trusted connection. I linked the tables into MS Access 2000 to SQL 2K and I can read the data without any problem. When I try to update the data on the table, I get the message : The recordset is not updatable. I am the DBO. So I am supposed to have all rights. All the select, update, insert and DRI rights are enabled. I tried it with another user and it does not work either. Anyone has an idea? Thanks

Access 2000 Linking SQL Server Tables
Hello all, We have an Access front end to our SQL Server and we just upgraded to Office 2000. As we converted our Access frontend we did a relink of the linked tables using the Linked Table Manager and all of our linked tables are read-only now!!! When we delete the readonly tables and link them up again individually, they work just fine. But, anytime we relink with the Linked Table Manager they become readonly. Does anyone know or are aware of this phenomenon? And what do I do to correct this time consuming problem? Thanks for all the help Kevin Kraus

Linked Server From Sql 7 To Ms Access 2000 ... Some Tables Not Available - Solved
Hi,I have a linked server in sql 7 that connects to a ms access 2000database. It has been working for a while, however lately, after weimported a large amount of new data, the database fails to query acertain (large number of records) table.I can query and get responses for every other table except the largesttable.select top 5 * from linkeddatabase...tableI get this error message.[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionCheckForData(CheckforData()).[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]General network error.Check your network documentation.Connection BrokenI called a collegue and he suggested removing the primary key index(which was multi field), creating an autonumber field and making it theprimary key, and then building a unique index on the two fields thatwere formerly the primary key to insure the data stayed unique.This index restructing fixed the problem.(Thanks Joe!)Justin

IDENTITY Column In SQL 2000 And Linked Tables In MS Access
Please help We have an application written in MS Access. The tables are linked to a SQL 2000 database. The problem is that sometimes insert a new record in a table freezes and times out after a while without anything has happened. When installing the application the *mdb file is copied over to the C drive and an ODBC connection is written to the registry. The application is used by many in the company. We have problems on tables defined with IDENTITY columns. Can this be our problem and how can we solve it? Regards Anna-Lena

MS Access Linked Tables To SQL Server 2000 Slow On Vista
I am using two almost idential laptops, one with XP and one with Vista, the only differences is that the XP laptop has 1G of RAM and running Office XP and the Vista has 2G RAM and is running Office 2007. I have a MS Access database that has linked tables to a SQL Server 2000 database. The performance of the Access database on Vista is 5-10 times slower on the Vista machine. Just flipping through records or opening forms can take 5 - 15 seconds on the Vista machine while the XP machine takes 1 sec or less. What gives? I looked at the CPU performance and the network performance while the Access database was busy flipping through records, the network traffic was < 2% and the CPU would spike to 40% on one of the CPUs (dual core) but would remain under 5% most of the time. I also previously had Office XP installed on the Vista machine and it had the same performance issue so bought and install Office 2007 on the Vista machine and it did not solve the problem. It seems that Vista is doing something that is slowing down Access with linked tables. Is this a issue between Vista and using an ODBC connection to SQL Server? Thanks in advance for any help on this

Why Would Tables Pulled In From ODBC In Access Be Different Than Tables In SQL 2005 Tables?
I'm new to my company, although not new to SQL 2005 and I found something interesting. I don't have an ERD yet, and so I was asking a co-worker what table some data was in, they told me a table that is NOT in SQL Server 2005's list of tables, views or synonyms. I thought that was strange, and so I searched over and over again and still I couldn't find it. Then I did a select statement the table that Access thinks exists and SQL Server does not show and to my shock, the select statement pulled in data! So how did this happen? How can I find the object in SSMS folder listing of tables/views or whatever and what am I overlooking? Thanks, Keith

Access 2007 Linked Tables (vs Access 2003)
We migrated a MS Access 2003 mdb into MS Access 2007. The mdb has linked tables to SQL Server via a DSN and utilizes a mdw file. In 2003, the username/password is "passed" to SQL Server, so the UID/PWD that is used for opening the mdb, is used in SQL Server. Opening the same file in 2007 using the same mdw, gives a secondary login on SQL Server. Is there a way to have MS Access 2007 pass the UID/PWD to SQL Server on linked tables, the same way that 2003 does? Thanks!

Access Front End And SQL Server 2000 Record Level Access Control
Hello,We are using Access ADP as a front end, SQL Server 2000 as a back end.We have a customer contact database. We would like to limit certainusers to only receive certain records based on Windows NT groupmembership.For example, Eastern Sales Group can see clients located in theirregion, but they cannot see clients located in the Northern Region.Is there an elegant way to do this? Below a two solutions which havebeen proposed, but none seem to fit. Access is required as a Front Endfor its ease of use.*********** 1 ***********Add an additional attribute (bit mask value) to tblCustomers, andquery appropriately based on the user's group membership.Problem:Access allows users direct access to the underlying table.*********** 2 ***********Create a separe table for each group (effectively splittingtblCustomers into smaller, separate tables based on group access).Then, apply SQL Server security on the objects to enforce the businessrules.Problem:Does this break Normal Form??? I've never seen a solution like this.I've googled and found similar questions, but not a good solution.Any suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks,JeffJeffrey Waltonnoloader.at.yahoo.com

Upgrading Access 2003 To Access Project And SQL 2000 Backend.
Hi, I am upgrading an Access 2003 database to an Access Project with a SQL 2000 backend. I am trying to develope a type of framework to communicate with the backend. I have read some about linked tables, pass through queries ect. My initial instinct would be to use sprocs and ADO from VBA modules like a .NET application. My database has reports, forms that update and insert data, and forms the call data proccessing procedures. Is ADO from VBA modules calling sprocs the best method to manipulate my data. The DB could have up to a million or 2 records in my biggest table, their are only two end users. Any suggestions or links or books would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Connecting To SQL 2000 From Access 2003 Data Access Project
I have an Access project that is under Terminal Services (TS) on a Windows 2003 server. When I create a project I can setup a connection and see the SQL table in the 'Tables' tab in Access. I can use Design mode to view the table setup but when I try to view the data in the table I get an error saying 'Data Provider could not be initialized'. SQL server is on Windows server 2000. When I access data using a connection in VB everthing is fine, no error. I have 5 TS servers and managed to get the situation resolved on one of them about a year ago but cannot recall what was done. I seem to remember that it was something like changing one of the DLLs to a slightly older version. Does anyone know the answer to this one?

ADO Connect - Access Project
Hi, I'm using Access project as FE and SQL Server as BE. Connection from FE to SQL server is via NT login authentication and in my codes, I simply used "currentproject.baseconnectionstring" as my ADO connection string to connect to the server. This worked fine until I realised that I might want to use SQL logins instead of NT logins to access the sql db. But with this, baseconnectionstring will not work (it will not provide the password required). To solve this, just have to make sure the user 'save the password' while logging in. But this is unsafe. If I am not asking for too much, is there any other ways to establish a valid connection with SQL (via ADO) which having the user to save the password while logging into the Access Project file during launch? Any advise would be grateful.. Cyherus

Prevent MS Access To Connect
Hello I'm facing a dilemma. I have quite a lot of users who need read access to data for analysis purposes. By granting them read access you also give them the option to connect to the database using MS Access which puts locks on the data. First I thought of generating stored procedures for all tables within a database those users need to query but when users execute a stored procedure with the name of the table, they get a resultset of all the data. They cannot filter the data by for example using select top 100* from usp_table where name like '%worf%' I'm sure I'm not the only one here but I don't see any alternative then grant them those rights. Thanks! Best Regards, Worf

Do I Need ADO 2.8 To Connect To SQL Server 2005 From Access?
We have just upgraded to SQL Server 2005 from 2000. We have an MS Access application that connects and links tables from the new SQL Server database. Users are getting errors when creating records for the first time on the subscriber databases. We have reseeded the primary keys on all the tables to no avail. The only thing we can think of that may be a problem is the version of ADO that we're using as a reference in the MS Access application. We have a reference to ADO 2.5 and don't know whether we should be using 2.8. Any suggestions? Thank you.

How To Connect To A SQL Database From Access 2002
Currently i have a SQL database on our server and an adp file that allows the end user to open the database to play with the data. On the client side the user navigates to the adp file from above and opens it which allows them to do their work. I need the same database but for another department, so i copied the SQL and adp file to another folder and renamed it. I then open the adp file from the new folder created using Access 2002 on Win XP Pro SP2, click File navigate to connection and refresh the data source and server name but i cant see the new database i copied over. I then stop/start the Sql server but same issue. I now think i might need an ODBC connection but when going into ODBC the other database has no connection setup in there therefore i guess i dont need to for the new database. I type the name of the new database in connection (Access 2002) and comes back with an error (Cant find it) Any idea about this one? all im trying to do is have the same database with a different name and allowing clients to connect to it? Thanks

The (ghost) table is automatic gettingfocus, (like a dialog box), and I can't do anything.I can close the (ghost) table using ALT-F4 combination, but it is veryannoying me.I've tried to uninstall both the MS-SQL Server 2000 and MS-Access 2000, I'vealso tried to compact and repair the database without luck.If I connect to MS-SQL Server 7 on another computer, (same database),everything is fine.My OS is Windows XP Home edition; the MS-SQL Server 7 is running on Windows98.Does anyone here have had the same experiences?TIAJřrn

Reconnecting Access 2000 Front End To New Instance Of SQLServer 2000
I recently had to reinstall a new instance of SQLServer 2000, but was unable to use the previous server name. As a result, my Access2000 front end is not happy with it's linked tables. I can't seem to find anyplace within Access to universally change the address of the SQLServer used as the back-end for all linked tables. When I do try to access the linked tables through Access, I get an error, and the option to change the server location. When I try to type-in the new SQLServer location, there is an attempt to reconnect to SQLServer, but a whole lot of errors are generated, and none of the data is transferred into the Access table. I really don't want to have to re-do my Access front end, so it seems it would be easiest to somehow reinstall SQLServer to have the same server location it used to. Is there a good way to completely erase all traces of SQLServer so that I can have better luck reinstalling it to the same location it used to be in? Just using the uninstall program from SQLServer doesn't seem to be cutting it. Thanks!

Access 2000 Frontend MS SQL 2000 Backend - Locking Problems
We are using an Access 2000 project to view our SQL Tables and using Access 2000 Runtime to Access the forms in the project. We have written in a locking system in VB and removed the video controls to prevent users from accessing the same records. But of course now we need to make the video controls available. This has now thrown up the problem of multiple users accessing the same records. We have tried to write code to lock records when then video controls are used but this is not working as well as we hoped. Can anyone please suggest any way of setting up locking on SQL using triggers from the Access frontend? or any other types of locking systems that could be written in the Access front end.

How Do I Connect To Tables Within Another Database Via View Designer/gui
I'm using the gui to create a view which requires my connecting to another database on the same server. I've tried to create synonyms; however, I can not access them (they do not display) on the synonym tab when I try to add them to the view. I'm a novice so any suggestions to get me on my way is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Steve

DTS Connect To Access 97 Secure Database Trouble...
Ok, I need to give some details. I have a secure Access Database using WorkGroup Security logon. It is an Access 97 database (yes I know it is "old"). I tried to create a DTS package in SQL Server 2000 to connect to it, but I am getting the same error that I got before I "joined" the workgroup when attempting to access the DB. So I changed the Service logon identites to mimic <me> as the logon, and still I can't get it to connect. The user name and password I put in the connection are correct. It seems like nothing is working and I am all out of ideas. Does anyone have any recommendations? Has anyone done anything like this successfully? PS: I can manually logon to the database, and extract the data 1 table at a time, but I don't want to export 40 tables each time I have to load this data. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Frank

Using A Windows Application To Connect To An Online Access DB.
Hi all, I'm working on a project where I have to create a password protected form for teachers to submit reports about students. Originally I was going to use asp.net to create the form, but unfortunately the server I'm working with will not be granted asp functionality in the allotted timeframe. To solve this issue I have another idea. So I will ask a few questions to help with research before I begin coding. Is it possible to create a windows application that can connect to an access database hosted online? The windows app will need to be be able to update, insert, and select information from the database. There is only going to be about 30-40 people using this windows application once or twice a week. Thus I envision taking a password protected access database and dropping it onto a server. The windows application will have the online location of the database embeded into the code. (connection string) From there on out coding for the windows application should be the exact same as if the database was hosted locally on the computer, correct? Also, 1. What is a good way to check and make sure the computer is connected to the internet before my application tries to access the database? 2. Are there any drastic security issues with this process that I should think about. The database will only be password proected, and the windows application will take a username/password from the user and check it against a table before they are able to submit info to the database. I just need to be pointed in the right direction for this project. Thanks.

There are considerable changes to the Database design and data types. Any help and suggestions wud be really helpful. Also, any article links wud be great. Thanks

Generic Help On A Few Issues (Access 2000, MSDE 2000)
Hi, my first post :) I've been reading this forum for a little while now, there's some excellent information within. I have a few issues that possibly someone, if they're willing, could give me a few pointers on. Firstly, I moved a backup of a database (that is located on a server running SQL Server 2000, I was not able to just simply copy the .mbf file to my workstation since its in use, and I cannot detatch it (its the backend db for the entire accounting system)) to my workstation, and I attemped to restore this DB using osql and MSDEManager2000, so I can develope a solution that connects to accounting data on my workstation. This is the error I recieve in osql: 1> RESTORE DATABASE master FROM DISK ='C:filesdataCDTData_db_200404130100.BAK' 2> go Msg 3108, Level 16, State 1, Server CODERBLUELINK, Line 1 RESTORE DATABASE must be used in single user mode when trying to restore the master database. Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Server CODERBLUELINK, Line 1 RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. I tried to research on how I could either restart MSDE in Single User mode or login to MSDE (in osql) in single user mode (if possible), but no luck. The other problem I'm having is: I created a new database in MSDEManager2000, then connected to it successfully in Access as an access project, and attempted to create a table, but the table creation window disappears immediately. The other operations work ok, such a create a view, form, etc. When I try to start a new Access Project w/ new database, and connect to MSDE to create the DB, I get an overflow. strange. Anyhow, thanks a lot, I'll continue researching to find solutions, but no luck as of now at all. (and not sure where to continue to search) Update: (5mins later) My download of SQL Server Books Online has completed, and I have installed it. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE GOLD MINE OF INFORMATION! First search query, I was able to find the command line parameters for starting sqlserver in single user! I am about to try this moment. If someone could please post a solution/information about my other issue I would greatly appreciate that. :) Update 2.0: "The backup of the system database on device C:filesdataWFIData_db_200404130100.BAK cannot be restored because it was created by a different version of the server (134217922) than this server (134218262)." damn.

Problem Importing From Access 2000 To SqlServer 2000
When I try to make a connection to an Access .mdb I get the following error: "Unable to open application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user" Yet, I am able to open the file through Access and have necessary permissions and I know no one else has it opened. The mdb is password protected and I have provided the correct login information in the DTS connection.

Access 2000 On Windows 2000 Can't Interact With SQL Server 7.0
We have a SQL Server 7.0 system in NT 4.0 environment. We upgraded our users to Access 2000 and started to work with this. Now we installed a new server which is Windows 2000 based and the domain is different from the SQL servers domain. We then installed Access 2000 on Windows 2000 to use with terminal server. But I noticed that there was a problem with the program. I then looked at the program which was written on Access 2000 and saw that the tables and views can't be seen. The program runs but I can't see the views and tables. Another thing is access disconects from SQL Server when I want to see the tables. So what can be the problem. In one part there is an Access 2000 on Windows 2000 server. On the other part SQL Server 7.0 on Windows NT 4.0. And Access can't see the tables in SQL server.
