I have an Access DB connected to an IIS via ODBC, and use ASP pages to get info to/from the DB. My guys in IT now want to migrate the Access DB to SQL Server. Can anybody tell me what this implies in terms of :
a) syntax of my ASP pages
b) syntax of my SQL statements
c) other problems I may not have thought of.
I am told it is really easy, however, I just cannot get is to work. BTW, I have activated the "SQL Syntax" option in Access, in case that helps any.
This might be more of a database question than ASP. But when you create a database and then create relationships with the database, once you open an asp page say to create a new record; once the record is saved, shouldn't it also update the relationship with the table involved?
Unless I am doing something wrong, it is not updating the second table; for example:
Say the information is entered, because of the UserID field is "autonumber", that would be my primary key: so "1" would be related with the second table where I have:
If on the other table I have number of uploads to generate, whenever it adds a document, it would have the relationship of the username, and the upload:
But when I do that, even adding the code, it does not update the code. So what am I doing wrong? Do I have to do another Add.New at the same time for the second table?
I ask this here because as ASP Developers I figure you have more experience with windows Webhosts. I know Phpmyadmin is usually provided on Apache platforms to manipulate MySQL databases. What interface is usually provided by webhost to access and manipulate your Microsoft SQL databases?
Can any help me on how to use ASP to access a mail server? I need to send an email from the web but i don't want to use "mailto" as the contents sent using "mailto" is messy.
I am at a loss trying to set the connection string to connect to an access db on a web server from a secure server! i have tried using the ipaddress of the webserver in the file name and the http: url but to no avail.
I have always used PHP and MySQL to do anything database related on the web, however I find myself in a new situation. I've been handed the daunting task of creating a (relatively) simple, partially database driven website for my company's intranet.
The one problem I have is that all of our servers are Windows 2000 based because all of the in-house software we have works off of SQL Server... and I've never touched a windows based server, SQL Server, or ASP in my life.
Searching through the forums, I've been able to find a few ASP tutorial sites, but everything I've found seems to be either all technical info and no basics or a basic tutorial written for people who are already familiar with Visual Basic, C, or another type of windows programming 'thing'.
I have a database in MS Access and have one table in it (tblcontest) which has 30 fields in it, I want to export all the fields into Sql Server 2000, any idea how to? PS: I dnt wanna create all the fields manually one by one in SQL Server.
Wish I'd found the thread yesterday before spending half the day fighting the same battle and finding a workaround. But at least it explains why my final approach worked.I set the remote folder as a virtual folder on the webserver, assigned web rights to a domain user and used fso.copyfile(server.mappath) to copy a file created locally.I'm not thrilled that access to the remote location can't be controlled at the user level this way but at least access to the calling script can. Strange though, the problem showed up during a migration. Server A had been hosting this asp page and connecting to server B sucessfully. I was moving the application to server C when I ran into the problem. All three machines are W2K, same service pack, same domain, same users, same access rights/method configuration. Go figure.
Every program I use (excluding Enterprise Manager - I don't have it) to connect is unsuccessful. Access Projects for example, when I try to establish a connection, it doesn't ask for IP/Host.
I have admin privileges on a remote server and would like to use a web interface (asp) to manipulate various files. It seems that when I access the remote web pages I only have IWAP and IWAM privileges. Is there a way to automatically send my admin username and password via the asp pages so I will have admin privilages?
I've been using URL asp shopping cart (free version) for a while with an access database and it worked perfectly.
My store is very popular now (more than 200 simultaneous users) and I need to migrate to a professional database. Comersus is compatible with SQL Server and mySQL. Which one do you recommend? My idea was to use mySQL since in that case I can purchase Power Pack Medium ($239) instead of Premium (.$370)
I am about to migrate my asp web pages from a previous well functioning connection with Access 2003 to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition instead.
I have created a database in SQL Server called "test_db". As far as I know I have not set any particular user id or password for the database.
In this microscopic database I have onnly a single table called "name" and in this table I have two columns called "fname" and "lname". I have two records stored in the name table. What I want to achieve is simply to display these two records in my asp-page.
How can I achieve this and what am I missing here?
I have a web form to publish data to a ms sql database. Everything works great on my local machine which I use for development. When I uploaded the form and connection file to our web server, I receive the following:
Error Type: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80004005) [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. /psc/Connections/psc_lms_db.asp, line 5
I'm using sql server 2000 database and trying to access it using asp. when i installed sql server, i selected the mixed mode of authentication(windows and sql server). Code:
I have a page which works fine testing locally on my win XP PC, using an access database file. When I place it on the server (all code and database file being the same)... it gives an SQL error :
Error Type: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E10) [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 2
When I send a database to server it changes all of my special charters to unicod charterset, I suposed that server is on american charter set, I would like it to change to central europien windows - 1250 code page, is it posible and how? it is very importand to me.
I've published my asp file to the website. I've uploaded all the asp files including access database and it works fine. But the record is not updated until i upload the latest database.
Actually the updated database stored in the my local server. Is it possible to access the database on my local server? It means, user can access all the updated directly.
I recently built an application using an Access database. The application works fine, but for some reason I am unable to FTP the database file back to my machine from the server... the operation simply times out halfway into the transfer.
Has anyone ever encountered this issue? I don't know if maybe some renegade connection wasn't closed, but I kinda doubt that's the case.
Is there even a way I can check what connections to the DB are open?
I am trying to access a webservice to post some values via MSXML2.ServerXMLHttp The OS used is win2003 on both machines.
When I access the local machine (A) which has the same service the call works great. When I access the other machine (B) that is on the same subnet, I get a Status of 500. Code:
I am planning to design a database (destined for the web) that will have between 20000 and 45000 records in it and will receive a lot of reads but very very few writes (just from me).
Now the question is should I use:
1) The combination of Access 2000 (accessible through ASP or ASP.NET) using OLEDB Jet
or
2) SQL Server 2000 ?
Of course I know that the SQL Server option is a better one, especially since it's said that an Access DB can have about 9 users or so accessing it at the same time. But is that a general rule or is it about many people writing to the DB? In other words, if an Access DB has hardly any writes and 99.9% reads can it be used as efficiently as it would be used on SQL Server 2000?
I have a Development server that is running Win2k, IIS 5.0, and ASP enabled. I am trying to gain access to an Access 2000 DB located on a file server within my domain. I'm pretty sure I have all the correct permissions set, but I am having problems when trying to access the DB.
The error is similar to:
The Microsoft Jet Database engine cannot open the file '******'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
I'm looking for ways to fix this... Microsoft suggests turning off the ability for IIS to sync passwords. Unfortunately, this is not a viable solution for me.
Is it possible to create a new virtual server that is a share to my file server? Put my ASP and MDB file in there and have it work? Anyone have any other ideas?
I'm working on a site that inserts records into an Access database and Access assigns an auto-incrementing id for the record. How can I quickly figure out what id that was just created? I seem to remember there being a function for this....
I want to move my only window shosted client to linux. The site they have access a Microsoft Access database with the below code but i can't get it to work under Linux.
I'm trying to access a table in a MS Access database using ASP but the name of the table is causing me some trouble. The problem is the table name has a space in it eg, "My Table".
If i try and access it using a query "SELECT * FROM My News", it says i cant find table "My". If i remove the space from the name (to MyTable) it works fine. But the trouble is its a customers database and i cant easily rename it because its linked to other tables and db's.
How can i access a table with a space in its name? I've tried "SELECT * FROM My_News" but that doesnt work either.
I have an ASP page needs to access a remote MS Access2000 database, I got error "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'F:Collect.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data. ".
The 'F:' is a mapped drive from remote machine where the access database loactes. If I copy the database back to local box, no problem.
I'm looking to make an online multiplayer game which will utilize Access Database... basically I require thousands of people writing and reading from the same database... I was wondering if this is possible for that... or is mdb file restricted to 1 person at a time...
If it is limited what would you suggest as the best way to control an interactive online environment? .txt files possibly?
