I have a question of the connection between SQL Server and MS Access.
I have a project, which is using SQL Server as backend, we use MS Access forms as the frontend.
Firstly, I created the datbase (db1) in the SQL Server, and create a few tables in db1. And then, I create a few forms in the MS Access, I used ODBC connection to link tables from SQL Server to MS Access, it is working fine. Those forms can access the linked tables.
After it is done, I put the MS Access database in the sharing drive, many people can share the files in this sharing drive.
When I go to my associate's computer, and then open the MS Access database in the sharing drive. The forms is working, but, it cannot access to linked tables from SQL Server.
I go back my computer again and then open the MS Access database, it is working fine.
What's the problem with it? Does anybody need to install SQL Server software and also have db1 database in SQL Server and the path?
I want any user can access the linked tables from SQL Server, but I do NOT want any user can open the SQL Server and open the tables directly. I just want the users can access the linked tables through MS Access Forms only. Because I will make security in the MS Access. So, I don't let the users modify/open the tables in the MS Access, the users must access the tables via the forms only.
In the code below I want to wait for ten seconds if there is connection to the server, if not to exit the sub with message "No connection to server". How to check it
Dim req As New XMLHTTP60 Dim resp As New DOMDocument60 Dim xmlNodeList As IXMLDOMNodeList Dim myNode As IXMLDOMNode Dim xmlNode As IXMLDOMNode Dim presription As IXMLDOMNode
I have a MS Access project that uses a SQL Server connection to retrieve data. It is set up to authenticate the user every time the database is used, which is what I want it to to.
The problem is the timing of the dialog. In 'design mode', Access tries to show the Database window as soon as the file is loaded, realizes that it has to fetch data from the SQL connection, and prompts the user for the password - this is fine. However, the 'release version' has a different setup. Automatic showing of the database window is disabled, and the user controls the app via a customized menu instead. The result is that Access only prompts the user for his SQL Server credentials when a form is opened - this isn't OK. I would like Access to always ask for a SQL logon when the file is opened, even in 'release' mode.
I'm kinda new to using Access and SQL Server together, but I suppose there is some way of programatically invoking the dialog via a macro, right ? If so, what function should I use, and how do I make a macro that is run immediately after opening the file ?
It would also be nice if there was some way of detecting a successful logon, so that it can reinvoke the dialog indefinitely if logon fails.
HiI currently have an Access Database in a BE/FE, server/client LAN architecture at a single office location. My client would like to allow one user to 'add new records' to the database on the weekends (i.e. after hours), without needing to come into the office.From my research, it seems I can setup Remote Desktop to connect from the client's home PC directly to the server PC, across the internet, using Windows XP Professional on both computers. Is it that simple, or should I be considering other things?
How I can check if connection to SQL server is established with VBA before the SQL is executed. btw I use VPN connection to connect to sql server, and some times VPN connection is going down in middle of work and it is quite unconvinced.
Right Ok i hope i can get some help cause im absolutely stumped.. i cant get my login page to work since moving it from my PWS(iis on xp) DSN connection to a 24/7 server on the net with DSNless connection here is the code for the include file "conntopwd.asp" http://www.pritchardwebdesign.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/conntopwd.txt the username and path has been changed slightly for security purposes, and the code for the login page which attempts to access the database is here http://www.pritchardwebdesign.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/login.txt the connection has been tested by one of the tech support guys at brinkster and he told me it was ok, the problem was the way that the data is called from the data base is wrong .. The tech support guy said that it was this line that was causing the problem.. MM_rsUser.ActiveConnection = MM_conntopwd_STRING Any help would be much appreciated as im stuck for now..
I have a data base that I use ADO primarly to connect to the backend access database. Each time I query a table I create a new connection and then kill the connection after I'm done with it. Should I be creating a global connection and leave open the entire time the program is open, or should I be killing the connection each time?
I simply want to create a connection to an Access db, and run an execute an SQL statement. I have only used RecordSets in the past, so this ADO.NET is completely new to me.
Can someone give me a sample code to execute an SQL statement, and take the result and assign it to a string variable?
I can bind my results to a DataGrid, but if I need it in a string, what good does that do me???
Also, I am only familiar with VB, but if someone has to post it in C#, I'm sure I can figure it out! I appreciate any help.
hi everyone; I'm trying to make an ADO connection to my local database named "dbTest.mdb". Here is the code I'm writing in my editor:
Code: <body> <% Set CN =server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") CN.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:InetpubwwwrootNew FolderdatadbTest.mdb;Persist Security Info=False" Set RS =server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") Set RS.ActiveConnection = CN RS.Source = "select * from tblTest" RS.CursorLocation = adUseServer RS.CursorType = adOpenKeyset RS.LockType = adLockOptimistic RS.Open response.Write(RS.fields(0)) RS.close Set RS=Nothing %> </body>
and this error comes up in my browser:
Code: Error Type: ADODB.Recordset (0x800A0BB9) Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another. whats the problem with my code???!!
Rookie Alert ! I am trying to incorporate simple Access database to web page. In page one, I use Database Results Wizard to display records in database. I pass parameter (last name) via hyperlink to second web page to view complete record. I always get no records found. When I asked tech support, they sent me this:
We do not have registered DSN's on the host server. You will need to use a DSN-less connection string using an absolute path to the file. The path to your account is c:accountsusername and from there you would add the path to the db within your home directory, I.E. -
I have seen other references to this and I have tried what they said with no luck. Where in the page code would I put this? I am using Frontpage 2003. Any suggestions would be helpful or a working example would be nice.
I will create an Access application as a Front end application. The matter is that the users will need to update some data from Internet where there is a MySql server. I thought in creating a local DSN to connect to that MySql server. Is it right ? I already created it but... I dont know the code to connect it from Access. Could you please help me with the code to write in Access ? Im a new with it. sorry. Or you can send me an example of it in an Access database to: osvaldo@ord.com.ar
I am creating an Access database that will be used by multiple users. This database will be on the network and will be the front end of an oracle database connected to it via ODBC. Do I have to set up the ODBC to oracle only on the machine that hold the database on the network or do I have to set up an ODBC on each user's machine?
i'm create a aplication in ms access 2000 developer edition. this app comunicate with sql 2000.
we have problem with slow connection provided by access. in headquater wher people use access app it working quickly. sql 2000 is localted at headquarter too. but if i run app in warehouse it working very slowly.
VPN connection doesn't slow. but access can't use all vpn connection capacity but only 1/5 from this capacity?
how can i do something that acces can use all capacity that i have?
example: link is 512 kbps but access use only 100kbps and work very slowly.
I have a small access database that my users keep open all day long. Access 2000.
I have one primary version of the DB on the network. No one uses it. I have another file on the network that has linked tables to the primary db. I copy a version of this DB to each workstation.
So each user has a full blown DB on their desktop with linked tables back to the main DB. Is this a good set up or are there any issues doing this? What is the best set up for multiple users across the network? Thanks.
one another database have started showing a new error "the database has been placed in state by user 'Admin' on machine 'XXXXXX' that prevents it from being opened."
I read some of the articles on google and find out tht database splitting is solution for this. Now my question is if after splitting i keep the front end and back end at the same location does it gonna effct some how? i mean even after spliting if users use the same copy of database as fromt end. Does it make some sense.
Hi i would like to make a question about ODBC i have created an access database that connects via ODBC to an SQL server database, with the help of someone else i have created this code that works well for the link of 1 table that i choose to link the problem is that i want to link all tables from database and not doing it 1 by 1.
Is there a way to link all tables from database ???
The code i'm using is :
Dim strConnect As String Dim strDatabase As String Dim strTableName As String
'Checks to see if table exists. If it does, delete it. If TableExists(strTableName) Then DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, strTableName
'And then use the trusty old TransferDatabase method to re-link the table declared in strTableName from the SQL Server DoCmd.TransferDatabase acLink, "ODBC Database", strConnect, acTable, strTableName, "dbo_Tbl_A_Yles"
I want a linked table in my current database. The server where the other access database is already has a ODBC connection created. How to I create a linked table to that other Database through the odbc? I know this is very unspecific, but I do not know what to do on either end. Thanks
I am working on an MS Access database that will connect to an MS SQL db back-end through ADO code only (no constant connection), so I am using connection strings when it is needed to pull back data, other wise it is not connect to the back-end database.
I am trying to get the code correct, and I believe I am close but missing one piece. Here is an example of what I have so far:
-------------------------------------------------------- Dim cat As New ADODB.Connection Dim cmd As ADODB.Command Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
I want the cmd to use the connection string. But all the help I find is just the code "CurrentProject.Connection" which only connects me to the MS Access database itself.
Does anyone know what I need to place here so that the cmd is using the correct connection string to the SQL back-end?
Hi im new to asp, i am using dreamweaver, asp and ms access. I have connected my database(Wortons_Notification_db) using ODBC now ihave set up a server behaviour for a user to login...... all was going well as dreamweaver enters the code in for you but the login is not taking place because of this line MM_rsUser.ActiveConnection = MM_Wortons_Notification_db_STRING........ Here is the rest of the code between the Head tags. Any help to why my browser does not like this line would be much appreciated. regards.

My webhosting company lives on clusters - thus, the C: path does not exist. They have the string in the type: \iis621domains bnaglobal.com.
In the code of my eCommerce config.asp file, I tried 'connString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\iis621domains bnaglobal.comuser\_xxy yzzARZTU8934.mdb;" and I am getting: Error!
'C:domains bnaglobal.comuser\_xxyyzzARZTU893 4.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
How can I fix this connString so my DB can work.
Here are the various options: ' Database Connection String. ' ' EXAMPLE : DSN-less connection for SQL Server ' connString="driver={SQL Server};server=SERVER_NAME;uid=USER_ID;pwd=PASSWOR D;database=DB_NAME" ' connString="provider=sqloledb;Data Source=SERVER_NAME;User Id=USER_ID;Password=PASSWORD;Initial Catalog=DB_NAME" ' ' EXAMPLE : DSN-less connection for MS Access ' connString="driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=C:inetpubwwwrootstore.mdb;" ' connString="provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:inetpubwwwrootstore.mdb;" ' ' EXAMPLE : DSN connection (all databases) ' connString="dsn=NAME_OF_YOUR_DSN" '--------------------------------------------------------------------- 'connString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:inetpubwwwrootstore.mdb;" 'connString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\iis621domains bnaglobal.comuser\_xxy yzzARZTU8934.mdb;" connString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:domains bnaglobal.comuser\_xxyyzzAR ZTU8934.mdb;"
