I copyed the code from Student store to Juicebar, and still have the problem...

Any ideas?

Apogee Database - How To View The Database Structure, Tables, Fields?
I have to work with an Apogee database but I cant seem to figure out how to view the database structure, tables or fields. I'm looking for a tool or a way that will allow me to view the structure to see which fields I can pull data from.

I'd like to connect to it with VB6 or VB.Net but I cant seem to find out how to connect to it exactly.

 I believe that the Apogee database is a product of Binary Research Incorporated. Ive searched google for information regarding the Apogee database but I think its so old that there isnt any.

Thanks for any information.

* Combo Box - Nothing Is Read From Database - Connection To Database Incorrect ?*
I'm having a problem with reading data froma database to fill a combo box - nothing shows at all - and i'm unsure of what might be the problem.
Hopefully someone could check out my following code and see what needs to be done...also, i have a feeling that my connection to my MS Access database is incorrect and thus might be why i having so many difficulties...

rs.MoveNext
Loop

'Close connection and the recordset

Error: Unregconize Database Format After Convert Database
previously i design my database using Data Manager. after that i wish to set password to the database using Access 2000, but the 'Set Database Password' is disabled. So i convert the database to current database, then i can set the password.

BUT, i come back to my program, all Data Control cannot be refresh. an error says "Unregconize database format....". After sometime of exploring, i change the Connect property from Access to Access 2000, now it can run properly.

BUT, after i compile the program, make a setup package, and reinstall to other PCs, some PC can work but some PC give Error 3170 - Could not find installable ISAM.

anyone can advise?

how can i remain the Data Control's Connect property to Access, so that other PCs can work properly? is it i must convert the database using Access below 2000?

please advise. thank you.

VB6 Or VBA - Copy Table Contents From One Database To Identical Database
Ladies and gentlemen,
first I want to wish each and every one of you a wonderful and prosperous new year.

This is not really a problem. I am looking for an efficient and quick way to copy table content from one database to identical tables in another identical database.

I have two Access databases: "PTSPROD" which is production database and "PTSTEST" which is a test database both databases have 10 identical tables each.

Objective: I need to erase the contents of 5 of the tables in "PTSTEST" then copy contents of 5 similar tables from "PTSPROD" into "PTSTEST".

I could mannually delete the table contents, then copy and paste, but that will be crude.

Question: How can I programatically accomplish this task faster?

Thanks.

Transferring VB Project From Access Database To SQL Server Database
Hello,

I have been working on a project at my employer to bring a current program that is run by a third-party company, in-house so that we can run it ourselves instead of paying out monthly fees to the third-party company.

The basics of the program are fairly simple. However, after getting the code about 90-95% done, I am realizing that my Access database will quickly become too small to use. I know we have SQL Server on at least one of our servers, and am thinking about trying to use that instead of Access.

My question is, how hard would it be to transfer my project to a SQL Server database instead of an Access database? I am using ADO to connect to my Access database right now. Would I have to make any adjustments to my VB code? I realize some of the SQL in the code will need to be adjusted, but what about my cn. and rs. lines of code (connections and recordsets)?

Shame on me for not realizing Access's size limitations before now. Any information that anyone can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Reading ADSI Database With VB && Store In SQL SERVER Database
This is first time I m looking for help in any VB forum I hope I can get some useful hint or help regarding my current problem. Let me describe in brief what we want:

We have one vb application which uses the MS-SQL Server Database. We want some changes in the login screen as per our new requirement.

What we want
1)We want to add one form which will show one button called ‘Update Users’ on clicking the button application will read the current users from the ADSI and store/update in the SQL-DATABASE(User Name and password in the existing table in our database).

2) When we will start the application system checks for the current windows user name and password if same user name and password exist in the MS-SQL Server database then there is no need to show login page but if the user name or password not in the database then prompt for the Login Screen

Please help me to find out how to read the ADSI Database using the VB Application email (bestloveh@yahoo.com)

Thanks

Select And Insert From Shared Database Into The Local Database.
Hei hei Kiran;
felt happy for your intrest.
Ya, I will explain a bit more about my problem.
Now I have a MS Access 2002 Database which is working perfectly in one system.
Now I have splitted this database with the 'Database splitter' tools menu.I put the backend in a shared folder and front end in every client system and it is working perfectly, without doing any changes.
But as the databse is in the shared folder and the user will have access to this folder only when he has net connection but most of the time they have to work offline.
The user must have access to change only one set of data at a time.
So I have to copy only that set of data from the database in the shared folder to the tables which are in the frontend MDB file.
I think as I don't need to copy all tables, I have to create empty tables which I need to copy and fill the required data into them with VBA code.
for this I need to kow how to connect to the databse in the shared folder and insert into the local database.(of course I have to use the style of connection to connect to the local database as well.)
Is it comprehensible to you , if not i am sorry , please ask where did u not understand.
Any way Thanks a lot for your intrest .

Kiran Karnati.

How To Import MySql-database Table To Access-database
I'm building a client-database in .NET for my work and I'll have the program copying rows of data from the online MySQL-database to a local offline Access-database.

How To Locate Database In CrystalReport If Database Location Is Changed !

ReportingTool : CrystalReport Designer 9

       I am developing a application in VB 6 with MsAccess as the BackEnd, Now i am having the database and project everything the machines desktop where i develop, After i completed the project if have to put the databse in the Server and create the package and have it in a CD to install in the client machine, at that time how i will change the CrystalReport Designers database path, now while developing in my PC, what i did is, i created the connection through OLEDB and through the CrystalDesigner --> DatabaseExpert i choosed the path of the Database which is in the Desktop in the same directory where the Project is, now after i complete the full project when i place the database in to the server, how the report will be connected to that database in the Serever instead of the connection made in the Desktop. So what i have to do before creating a package.

Before Creating the package i have to place database to the server and change the path or is there anyother way. But after placing the database in the Server if i am going to change the path means then i am loosing all the fields which i placed in the report before, then i need to design the whole report again by placing the fields again. Kindly anyone let me know how to rectify this.

Transfer Database Method - Transfering A Whole Database
Hi there, I am fairly new to using VB with access so this may seem a simple thing but im not quite sure what to do.

I am trying to produce a form which will import a complete database, now I thought the best way would be to open a dialog box where the user can search the computer for the database that they wish to import and then to use this path to transfer the database over.

I have come across and looked at the transferDatabase method and getting it to import tables i.e.


Code:
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "Microsoft Access", _
"C:DBSNWSales.mdb", acTable, "NW Sales for April", _
"Corporate Sales for April"
(or at least something to that effect )
As I would not know the exact number of tables or even in somecases their names is there anyway for me to import every table without explicitly specifying what the table names are i.e. just simply import the whole database not just a table at a time.

Cheers for your time and help

Moving Info From Field From Database To Database
I have 2 database for storing different information. In my 1st database "CustInfo" I will store the information of the customer in a table call "Infomation". In my 2nd database "data", it stores the customer's transaction under a field "trans" in a table call "transaction". Can I link the info together, which means that whenever the "trans" goes to the "data" database, it also directly goes into "trans" field (new field created) in "Information"? I need to sort them by "indexno" (which both of the database also have). I hope I have not confuse you...

We also employ cookies to maintain the client user to signin and do these operations. But we need a local java tool to update the local and online database. Is it possible with java or else VB.

Database Needs To Be Repaired Or Isn't A Database File ERROR

Get The Path Of An Access Database From The Database Object?
If I use the following code to open a database in a code module:
Code:Function ConnectMDB(dbPath As String, dbName As String, objTmpDB As Database) As Boolean
    On Error Resume Next
    Set objTmpDB = OpenDatabase(dbPath & dbName, _
        Connect:="Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _
        "Uid=Admin;Pwd=;")
    If Err.Number = 0 Then
        ConnectMDB = True
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0
End Function


And call it using:
Code: If ConnectMDB(dbPath, dbName, dbKB) = False Then

Can I later get the system path of the database file from the object "dbKB"? Reason: I use the dbKB object thruought my userform which is loaded much later, but I need to know the path of the database without creating an additional userform property.

Database Problem For Database Guru`s
Hi Guys,

I would appreciate it very much if someone could help me with the following:

I have created a database application by making use of an Ms Access database format (not ODBC). The application consist of the following:

fMain (Main form)
fTest (Second form)
Database: Database name = UserInfo.mdb
TableName: PersInfo

The table has the following fields: Name, Surname, Gender, Test_Result, Time_of_test, Date_of_test

I have created the first form by making use of the VB Data Form Wizard. Thus, the first page has the following components:

-datPrimaryRS
-picButtons [ New, Add & Proceed buttons]
-three edit boxes were the following must be entered: Name, Surname, Gender


The first form asks the user his personal information like, Name, Surname etc. The user enter his details at the first form (and do not update the database yet) and click on a proceed button to go to the second form. At the second form the user complete a test. After the test is completed, he clicks on a button, btnCompute. The result of the the test are displayed by making use of a label, lblResult.

Now here is were I need help: When the user clicked on the compute button, the results that are displayed by the lblResult (label), must also be written to the database. The database must then be updated so that the final data in the database should look like this:

Name: James
Surname: Bond
Gender: Male
Test Result: 78%

NOTE: As you noticed, the data of the first form (fMain) are part of the data (test result) of the second form (fTest). I need some help on how to do this.

The second problem that I am having is the following:

As part of data in my database, I want to write the system time & date at the moment the update button is clicked. (If possible the system date must also be written to the database) – all together with the details of the user that he have entered at the first form. For example:

Name: James
Surname: Bond
Gender: male
Test Result: 78%
Time test was completed: 09:15
Date: 06/08/2002


I am not really sure how to implement this – would appreciate some ideas…

JUST TO PROOF TO YOU GUYS THAT I HAVE ACCTUALLY TRIED, HERE IS MY CODE – BUT I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT:

Sub btnCompute_Click

Dim CurrDateTime as Date
Dim NewRec as ADODB.RecordSet

CurrDateTime = Now()
TestRes = <compute test results>
Set NewRec = New ADODB.RecordSet
With NewRec
.ActiveConnection = frmMain.fADO_Connect
.AddNew
.Fields("Name") = frmMain.txtFirstName.Text
.Fields("SurName") = frmMain.txtSurName.Text
<populate the rest of the fields>
.Fields("Results") = lblResult.Caption
.Fields("TimeOfTest") = CurrDateTime
.Update
End With
Set NewRec = Nothing

End Sub

Thanks guys

How To Convert Old Database To New System With New Database?
Hi, all.
I need your opinions for my project that converting dos-based old system to new system.
I got new project for one factory.
They have DOS based application using VisionPoint and SBT with FoxPro 2.5 database.
When I checked the database files... bunch of .DBF, .CDX, .FPT, .FKY..... files..
I think they used software tool package to develop the application without considering database schema design..
I also couldn't find database file containing whole tables .. I found only table file..
I never used the VisionPoint and SBT as well as FoxPro.
I tried to import the database from SQL server.. but, SQL server ask DSN fileformat. (What is DSN file?)
It didn't work..
I want to use Access and Visual basic for this project. (later on I may move to Sql server, but not now)
I don't know how to convert the old system's database to Access...
I don't know which .DBF table are right tables containing the actual business data or which tables are system house keeping tables..

Please give me any comment if you have any idea for this, if you have done this kind of project, or if you ever converted old system to new system..
If I get exact answer for this situation, it's best.. ( i don't think..i can..)
THis is first time for me to convert old system to new system... (I've done only new systems)
Please provide any idea for this ..

Thank you...

How To Copy A Table In One Database Into Another Database?
Hi all,

I'm trying to insert the contents (column and its data) of table 'Temp3' (just contains one column called 'HLSCODE') in the FAP.mdb to a table 'Temp4' in the HLS.mdb. The table 'Temp4' doesn't exist it is to be created with the SQL code I'm using which is below (I'm using Access 2000) :

SELECT * INTO
C:Program FilesHLSwinHLS.mdb.[Temp4]
FROM C:Program FilesHLSwinFAP.mdb.[Temp3]

When I run this code I get the following RTE '3067' :
"query input must contain at least one table or query"

What am I doing wrong? How do I create 'Temp4' in HLS.mdb with the contents of 'Temp3' from FAP.mdb??

Thanks in advance??

Database Gurus: What Kind Of Database Is Right For...
I am developing a 3-tier database application for a library (perhaps a small, mobile library) which is to store info about the literature contained within.

This is the biggest project I have attempted so far, and I have a few questions.

1) Can a 3-tier DB app run on a standalone PC (or is a 2-tier better)

2) What kind of database is best for such a project (I reckon about 20,000 books will be stored in the DB under fields like Author, Publisher, Category etc...)

I will be able to create DB types included in the VB Data Manager Add-in, so things like Microsoft MDB files, Paradox DB's, DBase etc...
The application should preferably be able to run on a small network (with a server) too, but thats not essential.

What do you Database gods think?

Thanks.

How Do I Copy A Database Object To Another Database?
Greetings everyone,

I have two Microsoft Access databases A.mdb and B.mdb.
(currently using Access 2003)
I would like to programmatically, using Visual Basic, copy
a database object from database A.mdb to database B.mdb.

I'm using the term Database Object to define a:
Table, Query, Form, Report, or Module.

Database A.mdb is behind a firewall on a local area
network and connected to the internet using DSL.


(example url)
Database B.mdb is located at service provider
http://somedomain/databasefiles/A.mdb


Is there a way to do this?
If so what would be the code to perform that action?

Please consider that my goal is to mimic this functionality:

If both databases resided on the same machine and I
had both open to where I could see both Database
Windows open and I dragged a report object from database
A.mdb’s Database Window into database B.mdb’s Database
Window a plus sign would appear indicating that I was about
to copy that Report Object. As soon as I release the mouse
button the object would be copied to the other database.

That’s exactly what I am trying to do programmatically.

I originally tried using the DoCmd.Transferdatabase method, a command that I have used before with great success with copying objects but unfortunately it does not allow for the database name to have http:// at least from what I can been told.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In Vb Making A Database, Getting Info Out Of Database Ect..
hi, this is my first day working on visual basic. I have many years expreance in HTML, and very little in php.

This is my first day using visual basic but have about 6 hours in. I havnt found any tutorials, or information that can help me make this program yet. So where should i start, because i think i have a lot of work to do. And do you think i could make this in about a month?

SQL Database To Update Access Database
Hi

I have to create a VB project that goes to a remote SQL server and passes any updates to a mailing list into an Access database on a local machine. Im not sure how to do this. I worked on creating a dataadapter, but Im not sure how to pass this over so it can be inserted into the Access database. Also should I use OLE DB for the connection of both? And if I create an exe file would the computer that uses the application have to have the .NET framework installed?
The 2 databases are set up differently so I would have to get only certain fields from the SQL database and I would have to limit the information to only include data where the an update has occured (using a date stamp field).
Any ideas on the best way to do this? Thanks for any advice.

VB6 && Fox Pro Database - How To See Database Structure And Connect W/VB6
I have what seems to me like a big problem.
I have a CD with a Visual Fox Pro Database on it with a one form interface that comes with it that seems to be written in visual fox pro.
I need to create a one form interface to the Fox Pro Database to search it using VB6.

I dont know what the database structure is exactly though.
I can open tables in Visual Fox Pro and see what they contain but not sure of the relationships.
There are multiple files listed at the bottom of this post.

I was wondering if there was a way to connect to this type of database in VB6 and also what that code might look like/an example.
Also is there a way to see what relationships the database has in it; or is that designated by the program itself at design time/in the programs code.

Also what would an interface like this cost to have built. (in case I cant do it myself)
I have an ftp site with the CD copied to it if you need to look at the structure itself or the contents of the database.

Thanks for any help or code that you can provide

Distributed Database Or Standalone Database
i am into a Multiuser software with sql server and Visual Basic, the software will have to be run at different locations. we have a wireless network (WAN). Tell me ideas to design and implement the SQL Server database, such that the distance is not a factor and the data is upto date. Even the connectivity should not be a problem ie., even if the connectivity between servers are down the remote location software should be up and running.
