Hi,
We had to migrate from MS Access 2003 to SQL Server 2005 due to some project requirements.
We had used Forms, earlier, to enter data to the Access database.
I understand SS2005 doesnt support forms.
Can you suggest any other way of creating an equivalent entity as that of forms, so as to enable users to enter data to the SS 2005 DB easily.
Thanks in Advance for your help,
Regards,
Sundar
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a replacement for Access Forms once I move the tables etc to SQL 2005?
Does SQL 2005 have any form building functionality like Access?
I have a small client installable web application which used to work great on 32 bit machines. Well now clients are starting to use x64 Windows 2003 servers and things have begun to unravel. W2K3 x64 does not have any of the JET database drivers needed to communicate to the Access databases and it doesn't look like they're coming anytime soon.
Is SQL Server Express the new replacement for Access databases on x64 machines. Does Microsoft intend on moving some of the JET drivers over from 32 bit servers. I know that you can run IIS in 32 bit mode and everything is fine, but I can't ask everyone to do that.
Is SQL Server Express something that I can expect people to have installed, it sure doesn't sounds like it. After reading some posts, it sounds like it's a bit of a hastle to install.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hello all, here is my question,
I have an Access 97 database linked to a SQL Server 7 db. All primary keys/relationships/ec have been created in the SQl database and I can update forms fine from the table view. When I try to use the Access forms to update data, I cannot update anything. I believe that a possibility for this may be that the Autonumbering feature of the primary key is held in SQL where before it was held in Access so the form cannot update without a number already apparent to the form but I am probably way off. I tried creating a whole new form completely based on the linked tables instead of using the old Access forms but I recieved the same results. Anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?
Thank you in advance.
regular access db - usually use sub-forms or tabs - this time I want seperate forms - have linked fields - but can't final code line in "open form" button command. Any suggestions welcome. Denny :(
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
passing variables (values) from a form (MS Access Project) to a stored procedures in order to select records shouldn't be all that difficult. However after searching for hours and hours in various forums and discussions i'm still nowhere. I really hope someone can give me the missing hint.
OK All I whant to do is select data from the sql server via an access interface. the value entered into the access form by the user (for example the client name) should then be transferred to the stored procedure which will then return all the records of the chosen client.
The simple task of transferring this form value to the stored procedure is driving me crazy. Does anyone have an idea.
Thanx in advance

I try to add data to SQL via Access Forms. When I add a data and open tables in Access which are connected to SQL, I can see my new datas. But if I open tables in SQL Server Management Studio I can not see any of those new datas. What should I do to solve this problem. I will be very happy if you can help me about this matter.
Thanks in advance...

Hello,I would like to know if it is possible to create a form in Access2000,which would function like a calendar for 8 operating rooms inhospital, showing which hours are those closed for a specific date.For this intersection I would like to be appeared the name of thedoctor, the name of the patient and the kind of operation.Furthemore I would like this intersection to be marked in the calendarwith a colour, showing that this room is closed for that time.The data for this form are going to be extracted from a table storedin SQL Server 2000.Generally the whole application is stored in SQL Server( storedprocedures, tables, diagrams etc.)1)How this can be done? Is this going to be through VB or not? Can Imake a template in Excel spreadsheet put it in a formand apply code on it?I would like also to make forms(in Access) for user-entry data thatwill use stored procedures of SQL Server with pushing the OK button.The stored procedures would take as arguments the user-entry data fromtheforms.I thought to make a pass-through query which would use a VB functionand would take as arguments the user's valuesand after would pass these values in the stored procedures.2)Can this be done through the pass-through query, that is SqlServer "understands" VB or better Access pass-through query processthe VB commands before be connected with the Sql Server?What do you think of this as an idea?My problem is that I really don't know how to combine VB code withTransact Sql code.Can you give an example or any ideas where I can find the relativeinformation?Thanks you in advance.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI upsized an Access 2003 database to SQL Server Express Edition 2005, and have converted all tables, queries, reports and macros successfully so far. The snag I'm running into involves using macros embedded in buttons on certain forms using Access as the frontend.
With these forms, the idea is to navigate to a certain record, and hit a button to bring up a print preview view of a report. Based on the record you're looking at in the form, it should check against the data in the table to which it refers, and pull up a single record in the report.
In access as a standalone, using the OpenReport command, the code was as follows:
[MRB Report Data]![MRB Report Number]=[Forms]![MRB Data Input]![MRB Report Number]
MRB Report Data is the table containing data, and MRB Report Number is the primary key (autonumber). MRB Data Input is the form in question, and the second MRB Report Number is the control field that references back to the MRB Data Input table.
When I try to run this using Access as a frontend, an error occurs at the first '!' - is there a different syntax I need to specify to reference a form in this case?
Thanx in advance.

I'm getting the below error message:
Autogrow of file 'FORMS' in database 'FORMS' cancelled or timed out after 30547 ms. Use ALTER DATABASE to set a smaller FILEGROWTH or to set a new size.
FORMS.LDF file is 7613952 KBand the growth is 512MB .
By how much should I set the filegrowth? The users are complaining that the application is freezing on them.
This is sqlserver 2000.
I am converting an Access 2003 database into SQL 2005 Express for purposes of evaluating the SQL server environment as a future home for my data. One of the motivating factors in the conversion is the integration of LINQ with VB 2008.
Assuming that there was no conversion tool to migrate Access forms for use with SQL and VB 2008, I converted the Access data table and used the VB 2008 form designer to databind textbox controls to fields in the converted SQL database. Here are some basic questions:
The conversion from Access to SQL apparently did not include the default numeric formatting (currency, percentage, etc.) which was part of the Access data table. Is there a place in the SQL server environment to supply a default data format so that forms and reports referencing the field do not need to be manually formatted for each reference?
After converting the data table and spending 2 hours designing the dataform for the 80+ fields, I inadvertantly changed the table structure and found that the dataform was not happy (oops). I corrected the databindings manually for the few errant field references, but wonder if there is some wizard to do this automatically?
Is there a way to print out the dataform itself? I used the following code snippet in my Access form code-behind and I wonder if there is an equivalent VB 2008 function:
Code Snippet
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection
Finally, Access can instantly change from dataform to datasheet presentation screens. Can this be done in VB 2008 with two views simultaneously presenting the same SQL data?
Please excuse my naivete, but in contrast to Access 2003 where program functionality is encapsulated into readily apparent controls, menus, and dialogs, the SQL server environment seems foreign, spartan, and all the words are different. Thanks, -BGood

I try to do an ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 programming in my VB 2005 Express to get @percentage printed out in the VB Form1. I read some articles in the websites and MSDN about this task and I am very confused about "How to Work with Output Parameters & Report their Values in VB Forms": (1) Do I need the Form.vb [Design] and specify its properties of the object and classes I want to printout? (2) After the SqlConnectionString and the connection.Open(), how can I bring the value of @percentage to the Form.vb? (3) The following is my imcomplete, crude draft code:
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Data.SqlTypes
Public Class Form1
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=pubs;Integrated Security=SSPI;"
Dim connection As SqlConnection = New
SqlConnection(connectionString)
Try
connection.Open()
Dim command As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("byroyalty", connection)
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
...................................................................
..................................................................
etc.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
From the above-mentioned (1), (2) and (3), you can see how much I am lost/confused in attempting to do this task. Please help and give me some guidances and good key instructions for getting the output parameter printed out in the FORM.vb in my VB 2005 Express project.

I've got a SQL Server hardware Replacement to do. This server has a merge replication setup on it which was setup by a contractor.
Do i have to do the configurations manually when moving the replication bits across two servers or is there a different process involved ? I am just not sure how to approach this.
Hello all,
I get some dates entered manually in french format in a varchar(255) field and want to convert that field in datetime. Since, Enterprise manager is warning me about a risk to loose information, I'm thinking about a way to update the french text in the corresponding english text before doing the conversion.
Example:
25-fév-08 (varchar(255)) has to become 25-feb-08 (datetime)
Could anybody help me, please?
Hello All!
I have a job that we wrote in SQL 2000 that loops through and finds all the orders pending verification and distributes them via emal to 100+ sales people every night. Each email is sent to the individual sales rep. I did this using sp_makewebtask and attaching the html file to an email and using a WHILE statement to loop thorugh all pending entries in sql.
I recently learned that sp_makewebtask is not going to be around for the next release and that I should use RSS for all future development.
Question: How can I achieve the same result outlined above using RS? How can I dynamically create and distribute HTML files?
I know that RS is xml based, but some pointer on how/where to start would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks....
I wish to replace column2 'ABC' value become blank.

select replace(replace(B.[column 2],A.[column 1],''),'ABC','')
from TABLE A,TABLE B
where A.id = B.id
After executed
column2
-------
123, Alt. 456, Alt. 789
But not expected result, because i jz wan ABC become blank not Alt. ABC.
So what should i modify with my logic and script?
Dear all,I need some help from all my Transact SQL Guru friends out there..Here is the scenario in its most simplified form.. ..I have two tables.. A(Lookup table) and B(Transaction Table)TableA FieldsEmployeeLocationIDEmployeeLocation (This could have values say"B","BO","BOM","C","CA","CALC") etc...TableB FieldsEmployeeIDEmployeeName.......EmployeeLocationID (will have null initially when rows are populatedfirst time)EmployeeLocation (This could have values"BA123","BOMBAY","BOTS123","BRACK".... etc)I hope you get where I am leading this to, from my examples..Requirement is to populate the EmployeeLocationID in Table B withEmployeeLocationID from TableA by matching the field EmployeeLocationin both tables.Please note that table B's EmployeeLocation could be A'sEmployeeLocation + some additionalcodes like "123","RACK" etc in theabove example...Therefore, this is what I had wrote initially..update Bset B.EmployeeLocationID =A.EmployeeLocationID

Hi,
Is there any replacement for BCP in Sql Server 2005 ?
Thanks

In the BOL, it states to replace DB_ID() with a valid database name when the compatibility level is 80 or below.
The original statement is:
SELECT
object_id AS objectid,
index_id AS indexid,
partition_number AS partitionnum,
avg_fragmentation_in_percent AS frag
INTO #work_to_do
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (DB_ID(), NULL, NULL , NULL, 'LIMITED')
WHERE avg_fragmentation_in_percent > 10.0 AND index_id > 0;
I replaced DB_ID() as follows but none worked:
DB_ID(N'pubs')
pubs
What should the syntax look like?

I started to thinkn about Microsoft really calculated checksum value.
This code is 100% compatible with MS original. That is, the result is identical.
You can use it "as is", or you can use it to see that MS function does not produce that unique values one could expect.
With text/varchar/image data, call with SELECT BINARY_CHECKSUM('abcdefghijklmnop'), dbo.fnPesoBinaryChecksum('abcdefghijklmnop')
With integer data, call with SELECT BINARY_CHECKSUM(123), dbo.fnPesoBinaryChecksum(CAST(123 AS VARBINARY))
I haven't figured out how to calculate checksum for integers greater than 255 yet.CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnPesoBinaryChecksum
(
@Data IMAGE
)
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE@Index INT,
@MaxIndex INT,
@SUM BIGINT,
@Overflow TINYINT

@MaxIndex = DATALENGTH(@Data),
@SUM = 0
WHILE @Index <= @MaxIndex
