I have a website which runs off a Access database which I am currently
converting to sql server database. I would like to still use my access
front end for reporting and queries..
I created an odbc connection on my computer to the remote sql server
and created a link in access to my sql server tables. All my report and
Queries run fine I just have one problem it keeps on prompting me for
ther password of the remote sqlserver database. I check the odbc
connection and I see the password is not saved in there even though I
put it in. Is there a way I can have the password saved. I do not want
keep on having to enter the password.
Hi All, I have recently migrated from Access to SQL Server. I have come across a strange problem. I have got a table in my database whihc is not linked to any other table, but does include data and is used from time to time for reports. It is more used as a sort of lookup table. Now I had the frontend in Access and I have retained it. So I connect all the SQL Server tables via ODBC to Access. The problem with this table is for some reason it wont allow to add new records on Access side. You can just view the contents, but cannot add anything to it e.g a new record, etc. I tried giving explicit permissions of Select, Insert, update, etc. but still no result. There are other look up tables as well, that have the same problem. Can anybody tell me why this is so and is there any way to fix it?
I am creating a Access frontend to some SQL Server Tables. One of these tables has an int type field and several money type fields. I am trying to populate the table based on text boxes on an Access form. Because of other reasons instead of just using the SQL table as the record source of the form I am using "INSERT INTO" statements to update the data.
Here is my problem if I leave the textfields that are supposed to populate the int and money fields blank I get an syntax error message on the INSERT statement. If I populate the textfields with a 0 the INSERT works fine.
The int field and money fields are defined to accept nulls so why is the blank textfield generating an error message instead of inserting a null into the table?
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, 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.
I have a sql server 2005 db. Is there anyway I can link access to be used as a frontend by my client for viewing the data? is this possible through linked table manager?
we are having performance problems with a pure MS Access database across a WAN. As a test we want to setup a MSSQL server , move the data to the server and run the MS Access clients through a ODBC interface. The application uses much SQL methods to get the data ( docmd.runsql commands ). Only a few native queries are used.
Will this help the performance ? If not , what do i need to do to get a better performance ? It is a lot of work to build a new application so if it is possible whith the existing code it would be very nice .
I 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
Hi,Simple question: A customer has an application using Access 2000frontend and SQL Server 2000 backend. Data connection is over ODBC.There are almost 250 concurrent users and is growing. Have theysqueezed everything out of Access? Should the move to a VB.Net frontendtaken place ages ago?CheersMike
Hello. I have an Access 97 frontend and a SQL 7 backend. When I try to open up the linked SQL tables in the frontend I recieve the error " This recordset is not updatable" from Access. I have the permissions in SQL set at this point to public having all permissions but it still does not change my problem. Does anyone know the answer?
My company is currently using access to manage equipment in 4-5 different locations. I want to move this to a sql database and have a front-end to do the same thing access is doing now.
Should I use access as a front-end or should I develop a custom front end using vb?
Just a fyi 5-7 tables 7-9 queries 10 or so reports and the front end is currently a switchboard that links to many other forms.
I have a ms acssess db acting as a frontend to a Sql Server 2005 db. I have need to have the db setup as a standalone to distribute with the application for times when the 2005 server is unreachable. I have a created CE db that replicates the 2005 version.
What I want to do now is put the CE db on the desktop with the MS access frontend. Based on a user's preferences the connection would direct to the CE version.
The CE engine is loaded on the desktop, I have modified the ADODb connection string to point to the CE db. When I run it I get an error that says: "The provider can't be found. It may not be properly installed."
Here's the connection string:cnxn: ConnectionString = "Provider=microsoft.sqlserver.mobile.oledb.3.1;Data Source=spcd.sdf;User ID=;Password=;"
Am I trying to do something that just isn't going to happen?
Ok, 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????
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!
We are not a very advanced group of access users and are trying to split our database for a research study...here is our question:

- When I disable "allow remote connections to this server" from server properties>connection page, I can still remotely connect to the server from SSMS...so what is the impact of enable/disabling it?
- what is the impact of changing the remote query timeout (on the same page) from default value?
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.
I'm using SQL Server to store session state. The Sql Server is on the local network but not on the web server. I use impersonation and use account credentials for the ASPNET worker process:
I've checked and given the user i'm impersonating the ability to do everything. I've granted access on all necessary files, added them to the DB and made the user a db_owner of the ASPState table. I can log in to a machine as the user, then access sql server using the windows authentication. I granted 'act as part of the operating system', 'access this computer from a network', 'log on as a service', 'log on as a batch job' on both the remote computer hosting sql server and the web server.
The strange thing is i installed the asp session state tables on my development machine, using the same configuration file to run everything, and was able to add an object to session state without any problem. But when i specify the remote server, i'm denied.
i use that to connect to the remote SQL server, which has status of port 1433 at "Stealth"... do i need to open the port complete, if yes how i do that ?
I want to access the other server from my Enterprise Manager by using <server_name>.<db_name>.<tab_name>.<procedure>/table_name.
Pls. let me know the steps I have to take I have added two remote logins in both the server. I also gave trusted right by using sp_remoteoption procedure and still I get the message 'the object <server_name> not accessible>
Please reply at the earliest, as I am right noe accessing the other servers data by bcp-out and bcpin into this server.............
I am trying to access SQL server remotely (over the internet). I would like to use query analyser as my front end tool. Can anyone point out the procedure to do the same. I have the IP address and the host string.
My ISP provide MS SQL Server. I can create my database name, dbusername and dbpassword through control panel and then I can access the database in ASP using this connection string "Provider=SQLOLEDB;UID=dbusername; PWD=dbpasword".
Before, I could also use my enterprise manager to create a new sql server registration using my web url, dbusername and dbpassword. But now it seems that my ISP blocks the port or something and ask me do everything through the control panel.
Does anyone have some idea to connect to a remote server thorough enterprise manager based on the infromation I have?
Does anyone know of a good place to find instructions on how to set up remote access to my SQL Server. I have been unsuccessful finding anything on this topic.
I'm writing a piece of software that is designed to access data from SQL server. The office's server has SQL server version 7 installed. The software works perfectly when running on a computer on the network in the office. I however am trying to work out how to use use the software from my home computer and connect to the SQL server database remotely. I've never done this before and I'm finding it hard to find the right information.
Firstly, is it easy to do this? What do I need to do with the server in the office to allow this to work? Do I need any extra hardware/software? How will my software connect to SQL server? Is it as simple as changing the connection string to something like the server's ip address and sql server name?
I'm writing the software in Visual Studio 2005 professional and programming in VB.
I am trying to read the databases attached to the Sql Server 2005.... my code works fine for Sql Server 2000 but when i try it with Sql Server 2005 it gives me error that "Under Current Settings SQL Server 2005 does not allow remote connections".
Can anybody tell me where to change these settings... i tried my best to find it but :(....
If possible to connect our remote server from my end ?.what r the possiblities is there.tell me some ideas,i already tried it to register our remote server database thru ODBC but it not connected properly but i ve tried in our intranet/network it's working fine.
I was just trying out Microsoft SQL Server 2000. I created a sample application which reads in 2 values from a textbox and writes it into a databse. This application works fine on my computer and the values are written to the database (In the connection string, I give my IP address as the datasource so that anyone on the internet can hit this database). However, when I copy this application to another computer and try to run it, it gives me an error "SQL Server does not exist or access is denied." I know this is a minor problem with some setting, but I haven't been able to find the solution on the internet. Can someone whose worked with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 please help me out.
i need to upload time tracker in a static ip which doesnt have sql server, after the installation there in static ip, i receive the following error while trying to access
Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Remote Server 2005
if i can somehow load/copy a sql directory with mdf etc on pcs shipped to our customers with our app, but sql isnt installed/running on the shipped pc, can our customers' sql instances running on their existing machines "see/use" our shipped database, assuming the hard drive on the shipped pc can be made to look like a mapped/remote drive? We wonder about 2000 and 2005.
In order to fix a web application bug the developer told me to to edit a stored procedure on my hosted SQL 2005 server. The hosting company's support say I should be able to do this using SQL Server Management Studio Express. I installed SSMSE, but it seems to want to only want to connect to a local server. Can I use this utility for remote DB management, or is there something else I need instead?
