View 4 Replies View RelatedSecurity For MS Access Frontend && SQL Server Backend?
Jan 23, 2004Hi, this is my first post (hopefully of many) on this board. Just wanted to say a quick hello before I dive into my question. :)
As the title suggested, I have to develop a MS Access form app (yes, it has to be Access - I know it sucks) that will post and query data to and from a remote SQL Server db. While I have no problem linking the two through the default ODBC drivers, my question is security. Some (actually most all) of the data being passed back and forth is sensative information, and I would like to know the best way to keep it safe.
If anybody has any suggestions, instructions, or can redirect me to a good FAQ site on the subject, I would be most appreciative. I have already done a search on these forums for an answer, but have sadly come up short.
Thanks to all in advance!

View 4 Replies View RelatedLinking To A SQl 7 Backend Using Access 97
Mar 22, 2001I created a SQl Server 7 database and used an Access 97 frontend on the same computer. The Access frontend uses linked tables to reach the SQl server. The security setup I have is based on the NT Domain Accounts and whatever group
I have them in (example: Mr. D is in Marketing therefore he is in a NT Domain
Group called "SQL_MARKETING"...the SQL Server recognizes that everyone in this
group has access to whatever role I have designated for it in the database").
I can access the linked tables fine on my computer at my desk or at the server. Another person with the exact same administration rights as me can
get to the server through the network neigborhood or by mapping..and they
can access the Access frontend with no problem from their computer. But
when they try to open a linked table they recieve an error message that
the ODBC connection has failed. We are all running Access 97 service pack
2 and another person and me have the exact same administration..but only
I am able to access the Access linked SQL tables but not him.I tried deleting
the ODBC system dsn on the server and the linked tables and then re-adding them and the ODBC link but to no avail. Does anyone know why this would
be occuring? Thank You in advance.

Dec 2, 2006I have a database with a sql backend and an access frontend. I put it in a folder on the network for users to access. First, they were getting errors like not being able to access the database if someone else had it open and not being able to perform certain functionality. It was suggested that i put a mde on each of the users pc. i gave them all access to their own front ends on the folder because they use different pcs. this solved the problem. however, i need a way to perform updates without manually creating mdes for every user. i used to work for a co that there was one mde was put into a folder on the network with a config file. The users access the database through CITRIX. Whenever they accessed the shortcut on the server, it created the users their own front end. Whenever we need to provide updates, we simply made a new mde from the mdb and whenever the user accessed the database again, they would have the latest mde and it would created an update frontend for the user. Does anyone know of such an utility or know what I am referring too? I encounted several suggestions like a batch file; but they refer to putting the file and the mde on each users pc. This is not how i'm set up. Thanks

Access Front-end/ SQL Backend -- Where Is All The Work Done?
Apr 18, 2001If I'm using an Access front-end, and the data is on SQL Server being accesses via a linked table, and I create a query in Access, Where is all the work done?
I know access has the option of using a pass-through method, but if I do not use it, is Access processing the query locally? I plan on migrating several tables to SQL because the sizes are getting to large for Access and want to know if their will be a performance increase with out re-writing the queries in Access.
Thanks in advance,

SQL Backend Access Adp Frontend - Stupid QUERY!!!!
Sep 26, 2005Ok, little frustrated hence the excessive exclamation points.
I'm designing a database in access to use a sql backend. Table structures are setup and am creating a view to join multiple tables together for data entry purposes. Tables are joined properly but when I add more than one join, ie adding more than two tables, I can't add records!?!
I checked the joins, it's not the table, since if I add one table its ok, remove table, add another table and that works, but when I add both tables together, it prevents me from adding records!
And another thing, when I have just two tables joined together and add a record, it comes up with this save changes, drop changes or cancel thingie!!! WTF!!!?
Is there something simple i'm missing or is it my table structure????
Thanks in advance!

View 4 Replies View RelatedAccess Database Splitting: FrontEnd/BackEnd
Jan 7, 2008Hi,
We are new Access users and trying to take our database live...here are some of the problems we're facing.
When we split our Access database into a Backend and Frontends, a couple of strange things happened in the Frontend:
1.) When we run our queries, multiple copies of the same record are displayed (this is wrong).
2.) When we look at those queries in design view, the field names are preceded by Expr1, Expr2, Expr3, etc.
We have a large number of queries. How can we fix this problem?
Also, if anyone knows any websites or resources that can help us understand what things like Expr1 mean (a reference) that would be helpful too!
Thank You!!!

Front/backend Access Application-----conversion To MSSQL--advice
Dec 16, 2005I have an application that uses Acces as a backend and VBA as front end. Application is secured and is supplied on a CD with setup.exe.
Can I use VB 2005 and MS SQL to achieve the same?
Would I be able to package my application with all the neccessery files (assuming that client does not have any e.g. SQL server) so that multiple front ends can access data from common source?
Would I be able to secure such an application using only VS 2005?
What would I need to quickly learn how to achieve the above ( any books you can suggest maybe)?
Connection Problem From Access Front End Application To SQL Desktop Engine Backend
Jul 23, 2005Hi there,I sincerely hope that someone out there can help. I have twoinstances of the SQL 2000 Desktop Engine running. One is on my localmachine for development and the other is on another machine on ournetwork which is the production environment. I have built an Access2003 front end application which connects to this database. Thisworks fine locally, as you would expect. I successfully installed thedatabase on the production machine and am able to connect to it viaAccess 2003 (using the Data Link Properties window) and from thirdparty database manager software (similar to Enterprise Manager). I amnot able to to connect to the database via my application.I am using the "sa" account with a strong password. This is myconnection string:strConnection = "Provider=sqloledb;DataSource=server02;UserId=sa;Password=strong;Initial Catalog=Test"The error I'm getting is:"Connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is eitherclosed or invalid in this context."The connection string is the only thing that changes in my code when Iswitch from my local to my production database. Is there some reasonthat I can't use the "sa" account in this fashion that I'm not awareof? I'd rather not use integrated security for simplicity's sake asthis is a small, internal application. Also, I would have thoughtthat if that was the issue, I couldn't use "sa" at all, even locally.I'm going to post to the Access group as well but thought someone heremight have some advice to offer as well.Thanks,Barb

Aug 20, 2007We 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedGenerate Ad Hoc Report In Backend
May 30, 2007Hi,
Currently I am developing a project which requires to generate time-consuming reports in ad-hoc real time basis. The mechanism is
(1) User submits report request with required parameters
(2) The request will be processed one by one (I guess a queue is required to monitor the number of requests and the status of each request)
(3) Reporting service will get the report request and generate report in real time.
(4) Once report is generated, send the report to user
So, is there any idea on how to handle this type of mechanism in reporting services? Any tool in MS reporting services that can help?
Thanks in advanced.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFront-end Input Error Checking Or Backend...?
Feb 3, 2005This maybe belongs in the Data-Access Forum, but I'm not sure.
Is it generally a better idea to enforce things like unique constraints in the Database or the Webform? Say for example I want to make sure no duplicate Social Security Numbers are entered. Is it better to have an "If Exists" clause in my query, with a function to deal with it in the application or is it better to just fire the data to SQL Server and let the unique constraint on the dbase column deal with it? I then still have to have some code in my application to deal with the potential exisatance of that number, so is it a case of tomatoe, tomahtoe? If I understand things correctly, SQL server will return an error code if the piece of data does exist, and I will be able to parse the error code and display a message to the user.
Are there performance/coding issues involved? Best practices?

View 3 Replies View RelatedImplementation Of A Backend/frontend Architecture Using SYNONYMS
Mar 28, 2008Hi!
I am evaluating an architecture for one of our project... a SQL database containing the data (backend) and a second database containing the development code (frontend) linked to the backend with synonyms.
It enables to upgrade the code without touching the data. Or to change the backend / use a different set of data at will.
Everything was going fine, the behavior was expected to be EXACTLY the same with synonyms as with real tables. But I came accross a problem:
Let's say we have a synonym (frontend) dbo.TABLE1 that points to a table (backend) with a IDENTITY column.
I have a sp (frontend) with the following code:
INSERT INTO dbo.TABLE1...
SELECT @SCOPE_IDENTITY = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
Well in that case, @SCOPE_IDENTITY is NULL!
Anyone has ever faced that problem? Should I use another function to return the last ID inserted? Or is it the backend/frontend architecture that is completely flawed? I also heard there's a way, by creating the tables and the code on different filegroups, to restore only the tables or the code...
Thanks for your input!
