I am having a problem with locking, and it is crashing our website. I suspect it is a locking problem because everytime the database goes down, I ftp into the site and see the dreaded *.ldb file. Access is susposed to support from 15 to 20 concurrent users, right? The log files show no more than two or three users accessing the database at the same time. By "same time" I mean within one second.
Below is the code which updates the database. Can anyone see anything wrong with this?
Also, if I wrote the information to a text file with the FileSystemObject instead to Access, would I solve the problem of locking?
I have a table at MS access database, and I want when I perform an insert action at that table to be locked, noone other to insert. maybe can do updates or see the values but no insertions values to that table via the asp application. Is that possible?
I have an access database that used to be on 1 box and now is on another. There's asp pages calling it. The gals that use it said they used to be able to get into the access database at anytime and modify it without the asp pages locking up. Does anyone know how this could occur?
I am having problems with some ms access mdb queries that used to work fine up to about two weeks ago. All they now do is lock the database (produce an ldb file) or say there are key violations.
Nothing has changed to the asp pages or the database so I am scratching my head (amongst other things) to work out what the problem is - any help much appreciated to restore sanity! I even get the same errors when I try the sql statements below on a local copy of the database (its about 50mb) on my local machine. Code:
I have an asp intranet app which allows users to download files from the server.
It all works fine but now I have been told that in the case of Word and Excel files the user, after downloading or opening the file the file must be locked in some way so that other users cannot change it. On top of that I also have to allow users to save changes they have made to these files on the server.
I have developed an asp application to track the training of employee training records. I'm close to done but I have one nagging problem. Multiple users can log in at once of course, but I don't want more than (1) person to open a training record. So I put some code in: Code:
I know this is client side but this is coming from an asp page. Is there a way to lock two rows on a table so that when a user scrolls down a long table they always see the header row? Without using frames.
i am having this problem with my webserver. everytime i run an asp application that will display pictures, my server will lock up. i used to this it was due to the asp itself, but whenever i run asp apps that display pics, it works fine.
this only happens when i access my websites from my personal computer within my network. whenever i access the sites from outsite my network, it runs fine. is this a problem due to my server or is it because of the data that flows through my network?? any thoughts?
I wrote this script which for now it works fine. The purpose of this code is to lock the account whenever a particular document comes to its expiration date. So, if I have a document that expired on 7/31/06, the it should lock the user's account once they'd logged in.
However, the problem I am having is that is locking everyone that has already an expired document. What I would like it for the code to check during the current month. If a document expired, say yesterday 8/9/06, lock the account, else let then user continue to access their account. Code:
I need advise as to how to do the following. In a asp page, the user can input information via text boxes which goes to a database. If users click a check box named final and submit the asp page, then next time they come, they will not be able to change any information.
This means, I would like to grey out the text boxes so that users are unable to edit the values in the text boxes. The only way to allow edit is via adminstrator's intervention.
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?
What is this all about? Generally I run against SQL Server but now I have to use access. The query I want to run is a simple double join
SELECT tblArtists.*,tblGenres.name AS genreName,tblPages.pageId FROM (tblArtists INNER JOIN tblGenres ON tblArtists.genreId = tblGenres.genreId) LEFT JOIN tblPages ON tblArtists.artistId = tblPages.artistId ORDER BY surName ASC, firstName ASC
Now If I run this question in access against the database it accurateley returns two posts. BUT When I paste the same query into an asp document and runs it with a fileDSN against the same database it returns nothing!? Is this some kind of joke from Microsoft?
I have an Access DB which contains couple of link tables. All these tables are from different databases. So each one has it's own database password. Since there is no way to save the password during the DSN creation. Then you need to manually type in the password each first time when open the table.
This causes the problem in ASP code during run a query. Since the table cannot be accessed due to the password protection. Is there any statement than can open a table and meanwhile pass the password in? Does anyone experienced with the similar situation?
I generate my codes using a generator. My problem is that I can not write into my Access database. I had gone to tools to allow access permission . still nothing.
I have a MS Access file that consits of 500 movie titles, I already upload this file onto Brinkster.com, but I don't know to code this into ASP or PHP so I can have an on-line database. Please help me code this Access file into an ASP or PHP file.
I have a field in my Access db which is used to put a category against a company, rather like Yellow Pages. The categories are held in another table in the same db. The Category field in my companies table is a look up field using this syntax
SELECT [categories].[ID], [categories].[Category] FROM categories;
My problem is when I want to list a company and do a response.write rs("Category") I get the ID relating to that category rather the description. How can I get the description instead?
I am using Access and ASP.I am just trying stuff out.I created an access database and put some validation in access on some fields. I created an ASP program to insert into my database. When I try to insert a record that validates OK with access rules all is fine. Then I type input that violates the access rules; I hoped to get a helpful message back. All I got was my message saying an error had occured and it was Error number 0 and native error 2097228. As I was testing I know it is due to failing a validation in access. I am learning I wanted to look up this native error, I cannot find it in access help or internet searches where would I look for native errors please? I know I need to validate client side that is not the issue it is understanding native errors!
I'm trying to search the Access database using 3 fields and I think there's a problem in my If statement...pls check it out for me.....I'm using ASP...this is what I'm trying to do:
If Request.Form("txtUser_Id") = "User_Id" and Request.Form("txtWeekNo") = "WeekNo" Then strSQL = "SELECT (MSD + Methods + Analysis + Architectures + Models + Studio + Elective1 + Elective2 + Elective3) AS PersonTotals, FirstName, LastName, WeekNo, Semester, StudioTeamName FROM tblpersons" strSQL = strSQL & " WHERE Semester=" & Request.Form("DaInBox") 'strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE Semester ='" & strSemester & "'" End If
I'm planning to change my database from MS Access to an SQL database. So, what do i have to change in my code for that?Is it possible to have multiple tables in SQL which are linked to each other?Are there pro's and contra's ?
I made a little app that selects data from a database depending whether there is a NO, in the YES/NO column. The data is exported to a txt file with aso. What i'm wondering is, is after the data has been downloaded to that txt file, how to write to the database saying all they were marked NO, go to YES.
I have never dealt with XML before, So this is way out of my realms...
I am trying to get a XML feed into an Access Database..
The XML source can be found here:-
but as you can see.. there is another problem.. the file is in a .GZ format.. so i need some way of Un-Zipping it onto my web host, and then importing the XML data into the database..
Ive looked around, and the only information i can find is un-zipping it onto a local machine, and then uploading the XML file.. but that's not practical.. i don't want my web page to be dependant on my PC at home being logged on...
As for the import of the XML to Access... that's another black hole there.. ive never done anything like this before..
I'm still very much on the learning curve when it comes to writing ASPs and have always used Access for my db. A colleague in work has told me that I should never use access on a commercial site where I'm likely to get a lot of traffic. Is this correct, is Access totally unsuitable?
Alright, I am opening an Access XP database via ASP. One of the fields is a numerical field, and I would like to force it to display the number + 1 digit to the right of the decimal. For some reason it is only displaying digits to the left. In Design View, my Access Table (names 'arlist') looks like this: Field Name: level, Data Type: Number, Field Size: Integer, Format: Fixed, Deciaml Places: 1
My SQL Statement: SELECT * FROM arlist;
Then the VBScript I'm using to access the table looks like this: Response.Write"<TD align=""right"" bgcolor=""" & strBG & """ width=""10%""><P class=""body"">" & rsDC.Fields("level") & "</TD>" & vbCRLF
I am opening the table via ADO Statically with a Read-Only pointer because the page just displays the contents of the table. I've tried everything I can think of to preserve the decimal place. If I view the table in Access, the decimal places are correct.
I have got a display page where im displaying Company ID Company Names with Their Products Added The data im extracting from the access DB The thing is as im adding a lot of products for a each company so im adding them in a loop in my Products table so each time i add a new product with the particular company id the the id gets repated as its in the loop as well and thus each time a new record is being genarated what i want to achieve is that on a display page where i want to see the data that has been added i just want to get the Company ID not repated and with all the products related to that company id and then the next Id with the products like ive got 20 products for a company ID 1 so i just want to show that company ID once and with all the 20 products and then go on for the next company ID how will u do this do i have to use the distinct thing or do i have to open another recordset and match the id
When just loop the data coming from the table, I see the ID I want updated, so I know it's pulling the data from the table. I can also see that the data from the form is coming across. Can someone look at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong or post a sample for me to look at? Code:
