Linked Table From SQL Server
Aug 31, 2006Hi,
I used ODBC to link the tables from SQL Server to MS Access.
When I link the table, it popup the message:
Select Unique Record Identifier
To ensure the data integrity and to update records, you must choose a field or fields that uniquely each record. Select up to ten fields.
It force me to set up at least 1 field for primary key in a table.
How can I skip it? I do NOT want to setup primary key of the fields in a table.
Please let me know, thanks.
Writing To A Table Linked From SQL Server
Dec 8, 2006Hi all,
wonder if anyone can assist me with this the SQL Server
security/write (?) issue. The SQL Server Admin has created a table for our Dept. to use and via SQL Server I can get access to it using the username and password she supplied to me. I can also link to this table in Access 2002 via ODBC which is the way I am using to write to SQL server tables. I have developed an Access application to allow one of our staff to be able to write data to the SQL Server table at a click of a button, however when I open the table the 'add new record' button is greyed out, I can not add any data to the table.
I explained this problem to the Admin as well as the way in which we access the table and she is certain that the problem lies in Access but i'm unsure how that can be the case.
Has anyone experienced this problem before ? Is there a fix and if so how is that implemented ?
Should I also post this in the SQL server forum ?
Thanks in advance,
Mitch....
MDB Linked To SQL Server Tables W/MDW Security
Jan 12, 2008I am in need of some assistance regarding SQL Server ODBC links and security. This is for a project at work...
1) I have an MDB that has linked tables through ODBC to a SQL Server 2000 database. This is how I chose to write this multi-user application (instead of the ADP method).
2) My IT department created a user ID that the application will use to connect to the database. They chose this method instead of having to create many user accounts with varying permissions. I have programmed permissions within the application.
3) After linking the tables through ODBC, it defaults to my Windows User ID for the connection. Because of this, I have used a connection string with the application's User ID/Password and perform a RefreshLink on all linked table definitions on startup to ensure valid connection.
This is successful, but my IT department is seeing that another user is attempting access to the SQL Server database--the username in the LDB/MDW file! This is what I don't understand. If I open the database without going through workgroup security, the word "Admin" is passed and the authentication fails. If my users would login through the MDW file, their user IDs would be passed and again, authentication will fail as they are not valid users (only the application ID would be valid).
What is really going on here? :confused: How can I prevent the "Microsoft Access User ID" from being passed through the ODBC link?
Here is a sample of the connection string I'm using:
Driver={SQL Server};Server=ServerName;PersistSecurityInfo=Yes; AnsiNPW=No;Database=DBName;Uid=Username;Pwd=Passwo rd;
Is Pessimistic Locking For Linked SQL Server Tables Possible?
Feb 1, 2006Hi you geniuses!
I just had to upsize my loved and complex Access database to SQL server 2000 and had to link all tables via ODBC into my client Access database.
I used to use pessimistic locking on all tables when the tables were in an Access database before - worked fine ...
but now my client Access database uses "No Locks" on these tables because they are controlled by SQL server 2000.
Does some genius know how to change this bad behaviour? :confused:
Access Front End Linked To SQL Server Database
May 24, 2006Hi,
I created a database in Microsoft Access and then upsized it to SQL Server afterwards.
I now need to add a new column to a table in the database. So I added the new column in SQL Server using ALTER TABLE command. This column is a foreign key which has an associated parent key in another table which contains a description of the column.
e.g.
Main_Table
Case_ID Foreign_Key_Field_ID
1234 78
New_Foreign_Key_Table
Foreign_Key_Field_ID Foreign_Key_Field_Desc
78 Describes the ID 78
I also setup a CONSTRAINTREFERENCE between the fields in these 2 tables.
I then relinked my tables using the Linked Table Manager to pick up the change to the table I altered (Main_Table). I also linked to the new table I created (New_Foreign_Key_Table).
My problem:
In Access if I create a new table I can select the lookup value for a field in the Table Design view Lookup tab. However, I altered my table in SQL Server and then linked to it again to pick up the change. Now when I view the linked table in Access it does not have any lookup value AND it's not possible to change this for a linked table.
Is there some piece of SQL I can use in SQL Server to change the lookup value for the field in my table OR have I approached this the wrong way. Should I have modified the local table in Access and upsized it again?
Otherwise if I select all values from my Main_Table in a form it displays the Foreign_Key_Field_ID instead of the Foreign_Key_Field_Desc because the lookup value has not been set to Foreign_Key_Field_Desc
This posting is a bit long - I hope it makes sense.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Linked SQL Server Tables In Access 2003
Apr 16, 2007We are sharing an Access 2003 database amongst two departments that contains twelve (12) tables that are SQL Server linked tables. Nine (9) of the tables work just fine for people in both departments. Three (3) of the tables cannot be opened until the user refreshes the link(s) using their ODBC DSN.
We do not understand why nine of the tables work without issue but three will not.
Has anyone ever run into this issue before? Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks
Modules & VBA :: Storing Attachments On Linked SQL Server
Jun 27, 2013I'm trying to store files on a linked SQL Server table, much the way I would using the Attachment data type in Access. (I couldn't use the Attachment data type, though, due to size restrictions - we're storing about a gig a week.)
Almost everyone says to store the attachments on a file system and save the location - I can't do that because of varying permissions. The files HAVE to be stored in the SQL Server table for security reasons.
So how do I do it? I've tried converting the files to binary and updating the recordset that way, but it always comes back as null. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Code:
Public Function Test(strFile As String) As Boolean
Dim rsAtts As dao.Recordset
Dim ifilenum As Double
Dim btAR() As Byte
Set db = CurrentDb
[Code] ....
Need Help Moving Linked Access Database To A MSSQL Server
Dec 19, 2006Hi,
My access database's tables are currently linked to an excel document. My question is, how do I move my database to the network? Currently when I move the the database to the network no one can open my tables because the link goes to my documents on my computer which they can't access on the network.
So how do I move the database and maintain the link between the database and my tables?
Thanks in advance,

Tables :: Linked Table Disable Password SQL Server
Feb 4, 2015In Access2010 I have created a linked table to a SQLServerExpress database.I have a user in SQLserverExpress with only reading rights.This linked table is used in a form which only shows the information. When opening the form, it prompts for the SQLserverExpress username and password.How can I configure the linked table so that it logs in automatically with the SQL user I prefer so that the user does not need to enter a user / password?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAppend Records From An Access Table To SQL Server Linked Table
Jul 21, 2006I am rebuilding an application for a client and I have an Access table that I am using as a temporary table. Once the user is done entering information into the temporary table through a form, the user presses an update button that appends the records using an Append Query in Access to an SQL Server Table.
The following error message occurs:
"ODBC -- insert on a linked table 'linked tblname' failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Explicit value must be specified for identity column in table 'linked tblname' when IDENTITY INSERT is set to ON. (#545)
I am using a form, subform combination to record a bill with many details. The bill summary is posted into a tbl_TransactionsMain table in SQL Server using the ADO AddNew method. The PK for the tbl_TransactionsMain is then entered into the temporary table in Access. When the temporary table records are appended into tbl_TransactionDetail the error message occurs.
What is also interesting is while typing out this post I thought to test the error by manually trying to run the query. The query worked like a charm! :confused: When the orginal error occurred off of the form I tried to run the query manually and it failed. I am guessing that this might have something to do with the ODBC timeout.
I think SQL Server/ODBC connection is not liking how I have a set of records in an Access table with foreign key numbers assigned when I am attempting to append the records. I am new to SQL Server and any ideas are most appreciated! :)
Relinking Multiple Linked Tables That Are Linked To Different Databases
Feb 2, 2012I have a database with a number of linked tables that are linked to tables in different databases (not a back-end).for example, I have table1 that is linked to table1 in K:databasedb1.mdb.table2 linked to table2 in S:datadata.mdb.and so on...
However, recently we have moved all our databases to a new location.
K:databasedb1.mdb is now residing in O:masterdatabase
and S:datadata.mdb is now residing in O:masterdata
and so on...
I'm now in charge of relinking all those tables to point to the new location.I would do this in linked table manager one by one but we have 100s of tables linked to multiple different databases in different location.is there a way to create a VBA code that will automatically do this re-linking process?
so,
1. find unlinkable tables
2. search its new location under O:master
3. re-link it to the new location
Database names and tables names have not been changed. Just the location of databases.
Combo Box Based On Linked Table Needs To Pull Info For Sub-Form From Non Linked Table
Aug 31, 2007I am trying to build a Form that will show an estimate (then eventually will be moved to a project if customer and employee aggree to price and project) in a Form F_Estimates is a M_Customers(Customer_ID) (Based on a Table) and thier info in a Subform. Also is the "projected costs" from parts out of the Parts(Part_ID) (Based on another Table) in a second Subform as a list that I need to calculate $$$ in
(Dang that still sounds evil and definately NOT understandable even after edit... so)
Here's some basic info
Tables
EstimatesandParts - Table
EstimatesandParts_ID : Autonumber
Estimate_ID : Number
Part_ID : Number
Parts - Table
Part_ID : Autonumber
PartNumber : Text (not a number due to some part#s have letters in them)
PartName : Text
Unit Price : Currency
Description : Text
Estimates - Table
Estimate_ID : Autonumber
InvoiceNumber : Text (again can have letters in it)
EstimateDate : Date/Time
EstimateTime : Date/Time
Employee_ID : Number
Customer_ID : Number
ProblemDescription : Memo
Customers - Table
Customer_ID : Autonumber
FirstName : Text
LastName : Text
CompanyName : Text
Address : Text
City : Text
Province_State : Text
Postal_ZIPCode : Text (CDN Postal codes are letter num letter...)
you can see the link table in the EstimatesandParts Table
Now I want to use that link to populate a subform in the F_Estimates form
Forms
SF_Customers - SubForm
(all boxes atm are text boxes on this form till I figure out the Parts section then will use same base for this so I can pick any customer in the database to be the customer for this estimate. Also will have ctrl button for making new customer with customer form and a refresh on Focus Gain bit of code)
FirstName
LastName
CompanyName
Address
City
Province_State
Postal_ZIPCode
SF_Parts - SubForm
Default View -Continuous Forms
(want it to be a list of parts that I can grab prices and descriptions from then in a bit of code to calculate a cost of parts)
Part_ID : Combo Box
Control Source - Part_ID
Row Source Type - Table/Query
Row Source - SELECT Parts.Part_ID, Parts.PartNumber, Parts.PartName, Parts.UnitPrice, Parts.Description FROM Parts ORDER BY Parts.Description;
(Pulls info from the table Parts for input into a list of parts to be used on that project)
PartName : Text Box
UnitPrice : Text Box
(here's where I run into problems due to the fact that the form is not based on the parts table but rather the link table EstimatesandParts so I can't propogate the info to the 2 other text boxes, ps I dont care if they cant be text boxes and have to be linked or some other type I'm not "set" just need to find out how to make it work )
(have tried a couple things to complete this task)
Me.txtPartName = Me.Part_ID.Column(2)
Me.txtUnitPrice = Me.Part_ID.Column(3)
(works AWSOME ... for ONE ROW then propogates the second selection to the first and second and third selection to first second and third and so on ...)
(tried to make control source for the txtPartName to)
=Forms!Parts!Partname
(Doesnt exist .. akkk, cant use ActiveForm either as it doesn't focus on the SubForm but the MainForm ... cry)
F_Estimates - Form
Estimate_ID
InvioceNumber
EstimateDate
EstimateTime
ProblemDescription
(all basic Text Boxes)
Employee_ID
Customer_ID
(Combo Boxes Select Customer and Employee from list of present ones of each)
SF_Customers
SF_Parts
(Both SubForms on the main form)
Now this is an Exerp from my entire Database I like to work on one small problem at a time and I have made this its own little database till I figure out the problem then I will bring the info I learn back into the rest of the database and go from there ...
Hope you can help I have a feeling I will need to make a recordset and go from there but I'm just not able to wrap my head around that for some reason
Thanks in advance for ANY and ALL help that I get from here

this statement causes an error

the error is
error 3622 - must use dbseechanges on a sql server table with identitiy bit set
alternatively
Set rs = dbs.OpenRecordset("tblconstants", dbOpenDynamic)
produces error 3001 - invalid argument

Set rs = dbs.OpenRecordset("tblconstants") works in A97

One .adp, Two Or More Different SQL Server
Feb 18, 2007Hi. hope you can understand my english.
I have 2 SQL Servers.
Is there some way to set to which sql server connect the .adp (or .ade) via code??
Now I have 2 sql servers (development and production).. but soon I will have more server at production in different cities. All SQL Servers have different names. Same databases names but the servername are all different.
So I have to configure the connection of the .ade in the the development server. Then when I want to send and upgrade to one of my clients, I have to go to his city and manually reconfigure the .ade to connect to his SQL Server.
This problem would be solved if all SQL Servers had the same name, but this is not my case.
It would be nice to have a config.ini file or something like that where the .ade could read the name of the server to connect to.
Is it possible to implement something like this.
Thanks in advance.

SQL Server... Where Do I Start?
Jul 20, 2005I've downloaded and installed the new SQL server 2005 express edition CTD (June ed.) along with the Express Manager.
How do i get an access database into SQL server?
Now that it's installed, what next? When i try to upsize, it asks me to choose a server, and gives 3 options, and i'm not sure where they come from. Where does this list come from? are they previous installations of the MSDE on my computer? are they servers that ar available over our LAN?
i read that the default name if an instance of SQL server express is SQLEXPRESS but that's not on the list...
do i need to create a new instance of SQL server on my computer to house the database?
I really just want to try it, to see if it's something we should do, but i can't get it to do anything at all. i don't know where to start...
I've done some searches, but nothing tells me where to start. I'm getting really frustrated with this....
