Connection String? With Access Database
I was just trying my project on the school netwrok running win 98 and the below isnt open so my program is usless is their any other connection string, I have seen some around. I THINK.

Trying to connect to Access Database

ConnectString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data " & _

Access Database Connection String
OK, since I have always used SQL Server for multi tiered projects I have never run into this problem before...
I have an application which is 3 tiers...

Client.EXE <--> BusinessObjects.DLL <--> DataObjects.DLL <--> Access.MDB

Since all my projects were in the same directory I very stupidly had the location of the database, in the DataObjects tier, as App.Path & "" & "MyDatabase.mdb"

When packaged I failed to realise that te data tier DLL was placed in System32...D'oh! And the database was placed in the Client.EXE directory...Bad Woka *SLAP*

Anyways, so I have to change my code in the Data Tier DLL so that it looks in the EXE directory for the database...but how do I find that out since the DLL has no idea which directory the user installed the application into

I am assuming the way to do it would to be query the registry and find the applications path? Since this is a slow process, relative to other VB functions, I would want to cache this...I am also assuming that if I change my Data Tier to an ActiveX EXE, then once I have the directory I can cache it in a global varible in a common module of the Data Tier so ALL threads of the ActiveX EXE can see the global vaible...?

Anyone?

Why can't the school buy SQL Server!!! Much simpler...

Pivot Cache Connection String In Current Access Database
I created a WORKING Access database which created workbooks with multiple worksheets and pivot tables using ANOTHER Access database as the datasource. The working code is commented out below. As I said, it worked fine with that code I wanted it all to be in one db. Then I moved everything into the current database and tried to change the connection string accordingly. At this point I received this error:

"ODBC Microsoft Access Driver Login Failed"
"The database has been placed in a state by user 'Admin' on machine 'xxxxx' that prevents it from being opened ore locked."

I am not surprised by this. I probably have the connection string overly complicated, but don't know how to word it now so that it will work with the current DB. My offending code is below. The commented out stuff is what used to work fine. The new is where I attempted to make it right, but it bombs out with the above error on the last statement highlighted in red. I have tried many variations, but it shouldn't be nearly as difficult to use one of the database tables as a dat source then some external one. I have looked everywhere for how to connect to my own database or even if I have to.

Code:

Network Database Connection
In the client machine(Windows 98), I used ADODC to connect to a SQL Server 2000 database which is located at the server(Windows 2000 Advanced Server). I used the 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server' and in the connection tab, I typed in the server name and uses Windows NT Integrated security. When I try to select a database from the server, the list is EMPTY!!! An error message appeared

"[DBNMPNTW]ConnectionOpen(CreateFile())."

There is no problem accessing the database using ADODC while developing a VB app in the server machine.

Both the client and server is on the same workgroup network. I am new to LAN. Maybe there is some OS or SQL Server settings which I left out. Please Help.

Database Connection On A Network
Hello,

I need a bit of help with connecting to an Access database on a small network from my VB program.
The code below is what i used to connect and disconnect to the database when it was on C drive of a stand alone computer, now the database is on a server (running Server 2000) on a network, i think the server is called drive F so is it just a case of replacing the C: in the connection string with F:
Any help would be appreciated.

Visual Basic Access Network Connection?
Hey people

I wasnt sure which to post this in, the database development or the Visual Basic 6 forum because it covers both grounds, if any admin decide its best in the database development one then please move it.

My application dictates that I will be accessing an Access database (2000) over a network. The database will be updated via my application, and other users on the network will be able to read / search from it. At present i am using the following connection method


VB Code:
Dim adoRecordset As New ADODB.Recordset adoRecordset .Open "[Data]", strConnectionString, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly adoRecordset .CloseSet adoRecordset  = nothing

The strConnectionString contains the provider, and location etc for the database. Whilst this method works fine i was wondering about the benefits of actually using an ADO connection object, and then setting this to the Connection object of the recordset, rather than passing it the connection string directly?

Furthermore, does anybody have any tips for concurrency / updating an Access database over a network.

Thanks

How To Check Network Connection Or Access To Other Server??
Hi,

I have a problem when trying to determine if some remote networkdirectories are available.
It's a file transporting system that moves files from one serverdir to another when they're available.

I check for files using the Dir command, i.e. if dir("\appl1filesdown*.*).
If the dir is empty there is no problem, however if the connection is temporary lost, I get a file/path error in the dir statement.
I'd like to give a message stating 'connection not available', but I can't capture the error so that I know what the problem is.

Anyone know how to check if '\appl1' is available?
I can't use drivemapping unfortunately.

Thanx,

Braniac.

Shared Access To An Access 2000 Database In A Network Directory
Hi!

My application (a VB executable) uses a Microsoft Access database to store various information entered by the user. The application and the database are located on the network so many users can access it simultaneously. Just recently, I implemented persistent connections so the database connection remains open for the entire life of the application (which speeds things up considerably compared to connecting every time something needs to be done). Since then, only one user seems to be able to connect at any single time. As far as I know, Access allows about 20-30 simultaneous user connections without a problem (and can do much more), so why does it lock the database exclusively? The application is loaded into the memory of every user's computer, so each user should use only their own connection object.

Here's the code I use to connect:

==================

Set m_DbConnection = New ADODB.Connection
With m_DbConnection
sDSN = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"
sDSN = sDSN & "Data Source=" & sDb & ";"
sDSN = sDSN & "Persist Security Info=True"

.ConnectionString = sDSN
.CommandTimeout = 8 'wait 8 secs before exiting commands
.ConnectionTimeout = 15
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.IsolationLevel = 4096
.Mode = adModeShareDenyNone Or adModeReadWrite
.Open
End With

PROC_Exit:
Exit Function
PROC_Error:
If Err.Number = -2147467259 Then 'Cannot open database (either doesn't exist or locked)
Dim vErr As ADODB.Error
If Not (m_DbConnection Is Nothing) Then
If m_DbConnection.Errors.Count > 0 Then
For Each vErr In m_DbConnection.Errors
HandleError ERR_LOG_DETAIL_LONG Or ERR_TARGET_LOG, vErr.Number, vErr.Description & " (native error: " & vErr.NativeError & ")", vErr.Source, "basDb::PrepareConnection"
Next vErr
Else
HandleError ERR_LOG_DETAIL_LONG Or ERR_TARGET_LOG, Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source, "basDb::PrepareConnection"
End If
Else
HandleError ERR_LOG_DETAIL_LONG Or ERR_TARGET_LOG, Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source, "basDb::PrepareConnection"
End If
Else
DisplayDetailedError Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source, "basDb::PrepareConnection"
End If
Resume PROC_Exit

==============

If another user already connected to the db, I get this error:

Error #-2147467259: Unable to use ''; file is already in use. (native error: -67044352, minor error code: -1024, major error code: -1024, Jet IDA Number (DAO Error): 3045) [source Microsoft JET Database Engine, procedure basDb::PrepareConnection]

(the first error is an ADO error, the native error is what the data provider returns, and other things are just what I got after doing a few searches on MSDN).

I first thought that the problem is about the Mode property setting of the connection object, but MSDN describes adModeShareDenyNone constant as the less restrictive, full database sharing mode, and combining it with adModeReadWrite seems the most logical solution to allow others to read/write data. I even tried to remove it (leaving only adModeReadWrite), but the same thing took place.

I tried to change the CursorLocation property to adUseServer, but it had no effect.

I tried updating the version of MDAC to 2.6, but to no avail.

Have any of you had the same problem or knows the solution? I will appreciate any help I can get!

Thanks a lot in advance!

Access DB Connection String (ASP)
I'm having problems connecting to a database on our providers web server. Here is the connection string i'm using:

Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=email_order.mdb"

What's happening is it is defaulting to the server's C:. Anyone know how I can establish a connection using the URL of the database? For example, Data Source=http://www.website.com/shopping/email_order.mdb.

I've tried something similar btw, and it gave me a filename error. Any Suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.

Will this work? Or do I have to change the mappath differently.

Connection String For Access W/password
I'm trying to figure out how to connect to a pword protected access database thru vb6 using ado.
I did some searching and tried some of the examples in http://www.carlprothman.net/Default....orMicrosoftJet, but I'm still having problems.

The example from that page that applies is: oConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=c:somepathmydb.mdb;" & _
"Jet OLEDB:Database Password=MyDbPassword", _
"myUsername", "myPassword"

But my db doesn't have a username.
I've only given it a password to keep prying eyes from opening it directly.

The connectionstring I use to open it without a password is:AdoSettings.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & App.Path & "Eva.mdb;Persist Security Info=False"

Can someone tell me how to modify the above connection string to include a password?

'strCon = "Provider=MSDASQL.1;Persist Security Info=False;Data Source=MobSalesDB;UID=;PWD=Password"

The database does not use user accounts and just has a database password. Does anybody see what I'm doing wrong with the connection string?

[SOLVED] Access Connection String
Hey guys,
Im doing a small project using VB6 and MS Access DB.
The project will be installed on 2 pcs connected via a workgroup (DB will reside on 1 pc).
Then all ill do is give them an EXE each, both pointing to the DB on the "network".

Are the following Global Const and Connection Sub correct for this scenario?

Code:Global Const cnStrACC = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=myDatabase.mdb;Persist Security Info=False"

Code:Function OpenDatabase()
Dim cnStr As String

    cnStr = cnStrACC

    DBError = 0
    Set dbs = New ADODB.Connection

    dbs.Provider = "MSDataShape"

    dbs.ConnectionString = cnStr
dbs.Mode = adModeShareDenyNone
    dbs.CursorLocation = adUseServer
    dbs.Open
End Function

The 2 lines in BOLD above are the ones i'm most confused about (are they ok?)

Thanks

HI im working on a program in visual basic that requires a client to connect to a server that contains a MS Access d/b over a LAN network (to a remote server). the client needs to display all the fields within the ms access d/b, that the server has. the client also needs to be able to write and read to the database, and also continually update itself.
the server needs to allow for many connections, also allowing to see whos online, and offline. the client should also be abe to view the data of the other clients even if their offline.

this is what i have so far, but i am stuck with this error message:

Run-time error '-2147217904 (80040e10)':
No value given for one or more of the parameters.

this error comes up in the the server project under recordset module:

Quote:Public Sub SendJobs(Completed As Boolean, sck As Winsock)

Dim Rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim SQL, strRecords As String
Dim i As Integer

Set Rs = New ADODB.Recordset

SQL = "Select * from Joblist where CompletedJobs = " & Completed 'Querys the Database for Completed and UnCompleted jobs

Rs.Open SQL, cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockReadOnly


    For i = 1 To Rs.RecordCount

        strRecords = "~!" & Rs!JobID & "~~" & Rs!Date & "~~" & Rs!Name & "~~" & Rs!Phone & _
        "~~" & Rs!JobDescription & "~~" & Rs!Technician & "~~" & Rs!pority & "~~"

        Rs.MoveNext
           
            FrmServer.sckServer(sck.Index).SendData strRecords
    Next i


Rs.Close
Set Rs = Nothing
FrmServer.Label7.Caption = Err.Description

End Sub

ADO Connection To Access Database
I am trying to programmatically add a new field to an existing Access 2000 database using an ADO 2.7 connection. I am able to make a successful connection to the database and to open the recordset to manipulate any of the existing data, but I am having trouble finding the syntax to add a new field to the existing database.

My recordset is static (therefore I am using adOpenStatic cursor type on the record) and I am using an adLockOptimistic lock type on the recordset.

If needed I can attach the code and the database (if it helps).
