We have recently changed our SQL Server and I am now trying to point an access database to this new server using ODBC connections.
I have updated my ODBC settings and altered the name to the new object. It stills seems as though the database is pointing to the old tables though as receiving an error message:
"The microsoft jet database engine could not find object....."
We have been using an Access (Access 2013) program where we link the program to dataviews created in sql server.
Recently we had to re-link the data views because a change had been made to them. When we relinked the data we noticed that the field type for the field used as the primary key changed from "Short Text" to "Long Text". The programmer who created the dataview from sql server said that nothing was done at that end that would have caused the change
I know how to prevent the problem from recurring. We are changing the sql server spec from VARCHAR(8000) to CHAR(20).
Hi. I have had a server change and db was moved and I need to change the IP etc. Is there a easy way to do this? I have searched through this forum in vain. :( Kind Regards Marie
Can anyone help me convert this pivot query to work in sql server please? I'll love you forever if you help me please :pTRANSFORM Count(Employees.MaritalStatus) AS MaritalStatusCount SELECT Employees.MaritalStatus FROM Employees INNER JOIN Offices ON Employees.OfficeId = Offices.officeId WHERE ((Not (Employees.MaritalStatus) Is Null)) GROUP BY Employees.MaritalStatus PIVOT Offices.officeLocation;
I have an Access 2010 application that talks to SQL Server. Part of the application creates tables on the SQl Server and inserts data to it (I know SQL Server has its on data inport/export wizard and bulk insert capabilities but for reasons outside of my control it needs to be done from Access). So I have a connection to the SQl Server and i have VBA that happily executs SQL statements on the SQl Server. The problem is I want to return a recordset from the result of a SQL query issued to the SQL Server. The idea being to check for the presence of tables already created, and if so, append to the already existing table, otherwise if it does not exist, create it and insert data to it.Ive tried the following code but it seems no recordset is being returned:
Set objConnection = New ADODB.Connection objConnection.Open "DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=10.200.3.14;trusted_connection=yes; DATABASE=" & Me.Combo54 strSQL = "SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE' AND TABLE_NAME = '" & Me.Combo54 & "'" strSQL = "USE " & Me.Combo54 & " " & strSQL Set Rst = cmd.Execute("USE " & Me.Combo54 & " " & strSQL)
I need to change the Query somehow. I had earlier made a table consisting of book # , Chapter # , and verse #. I had seen a triple listbox online and asked the designer to make the necessary changes to make it work. So he created 3 Queries, a book Query, a chapter Query, and a verse Query.
But later I decided to remove realizing that some columns were unnecessary, it messed up the chapter Query and verse Query. Can someone guide me how to recreate the Queries?
I'll post a sample for you to check. I reduced the data to make it postable, but it affected the "chapter" Query and the "verse" Query.
What I need to to is delete the "chap" column and the "vers" replacing them with the existing "chapter" column and the "verse" column. I would appreciate if someone can work with me on this one.
I don't use Access too often but I'm trying to connect a table to some business intelligence software I use.
A. Date B. Price C.Ydayprice 01/01/2015 101.45 02/01/2015 104.70 03/01/2015 103.00
Simple stuff. Once I've connected to the table, I can easily do what I want with Field 'Price' and 'Ydayprice'. However, I can't calculate column C. All I want is row 2 to say 101.45, R3 to say 104.7 etc. I've tried various things but I don't have the knowledge to write the action I require. I don't want to calculate the change in Access either.
We're currently looking at changing a couple of my more complex Access 2003 databases to Access Front End with a SQL Server Back End. This should give us better stability and reduce network traffic loads. I was looking at the Access help file on Upsizing and came across the following paragraph. On face value to a novice like me this would seem the easy option - but is it?
"Create an Access database front-end to an SQL Server database back-end so that you can create a front-end/back-end application.
This approach requires very little application modification since the code is still using the Jet database engine. "
I am importing an Excel file into a table in SQL Server that was created by an AS400 program.
I linked this table in MS Access. The date fields from the SQL Server table are split out. DSREQM is the month and day. DSREQY is the year. When opening the table it looks like this:
DSREQM DSREQY 215 6
I need to be able to convert this is a field to 2/15/06. However I cannot get this to work. For some reason when I execute the query it comes out as 8/02. Here is what I have:
I am attempting to write an application, using Access2003 as the front end. The Backend May be either Jet (ie an MDB), or SQL Server.
I am trying to make it so that the same code works regardless of the back end.
My approach has been to set the forms recordset to an ADO recordset like so:
Set Rs = New ADODB.Recordset 'Rs.CursorLocation = adUseClient Rs.CursorLocation = adUseServer Rs.Open strSQL, gcn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic ' Set Me.Recordset = Rs
Anyone done this, and willing to sahre information/pitfalls.
First problem I am encountering is that Jet only seems to like .CursorLocation = adUseClient, and SQL Server only seemns to like .CursorLocation = adUseServer

I'm trying to help someone with Access on a CITRIS Server. I'm working with them VIA email. They say they're having problems communicating with printers and would like to utilize their email with Access. Can someone fill me in on common problems using Access with CITRIS Server as far as printers or email or anything else?
To be perfectly honest, I know nothing about CITRIS servers. Is CITRIS a hardware system or computer type of is it an operating system???
I need to be able to add a feature to an Access project that will select a group of records based on an area code( user will have to be able to select a desired number like 100, or 1000), mark those as selected, and create a single csv file...The area codes are stored in the SQL SERVER database...right now they just export groups of #'s based on area code to excel select the amount they want and cut and paste into a flat file for another application to use...they would like to be able to select a number from a list box or type it in...like 100 ( which means take a 100 #'s from all different area codes) then have them automatically noted in database as being selected..and then export all selections to one csv file... should I do part of the work in the Sql Server behind the scenes..the format of the csv file also needs to be specific in that the first row is the columns separated by commas and then the data follows all text fields enclosed by qoutes.. Thanks for anyone's help ..Im very inexperienced with VB and Access
I have created an adp, and have created stored procedures for all of my forms. In the SQL Server database I have given my users permissions as db_datareader and db_datawriter, however they were unable to open any of my forms because they didn’t have execute permissions on my stored procedures. I finally had to give them permissions as db_owner so they could use my forms. Do I have to give them db_owner permissions to execute my stored procedures? I know I can go in and assign them execute permissions for my stored procedures, but there has to be a better way. Does anyone know how to give users execute permissions on stored procedures without having to give them db_owner permissions or having to grant execute permissions for each stored procedure individually?
I am still in the development phase of my project and having to assign users or groups with each stored procedure I create could really be a pain. Can someone please help me?
I am accessing a SQL Server 2000 database from MS Access. While I can view the tables and can add records, I cannot edit or change them. How do I get around this?
I am trying to build a form to make deletes from our sql database easier for some of my coworkers.
They have a combo box that they select a patient name from, then based on that patient id, they have a second combo box that shows all appointments that patient has been to. All right so far, yes?
I want, after the first two selections are done and we have a patient and an appointment selected, to have a textbox that returns the count of the number of medical documents based on that appointment id.
I am trying to use a text box for this. Code: "select count(appt_id) from template_audit where appt_id = " & Me.cboAppointment
I don't know what property of a text box to use to return a single sql statement into it. Anyone have any ideas?
The database that I have on MS Access has tables, queries, forms (VB code), reports and functions (VB). I could migrate the tables and queries through the Enterprise Manager. I want to have the forms and reports in html. Is there any software tool that can help me with over all migration?
I've create an ms access security workgroup and put .mdb and .mdw file to a folder under any acount on a server. When these files in my local machine it work properly. But when these files on server I myself cannot open .mdb file. How to make ms access security on a server ?
I know and have worked with MS Access for over 3 years now. Just would like to know if there is very much difference between MS Access and SQL Server. Are they similiar or are they completely different . In terms of designing forms, reports, sql.
Appreciate some feed back and also where I could view or look at sql server.
I have a question of the connection between SQL Server and MS Access.
I have a project, which is using SQL Server as backend, we use MS Access forms as the frontend.
Firstly, I created the datbase (db1) in the SQL Server, and create a few tables in db1. And then, I create a few forms in the MS Access, I used ODBC connection to link tables from SQL Server to MS Access, it is working fine. Those forms can access the linked tables.
After it is done, I put the MS Access database in the sharing drive, many people can share the files in this sharing drive.
When I go to my associate's computer, and then open the MS Access database in the sharing drive. The forms is working, but, it cannot access to linked tables from SQL Server.
I go back my computer again and then open the MS Access database, it is working fine.
What's the problem with it? Does anybody need to install SQL Server software and also have db1 database in SQL Server and the path?
I want any user can access the linked tables from SQL Server, but I do NOT want any user can open the SQL Server and open the tables directly. I just want the users can access the linked tables through MS Access Forms only. Because I will make security in the MS Access. So, I don't let the users modify/open the tables in the MS Access, the users must access the tables via the forms only.
Hi, Using MS Access on a Server on the web with main programming in .asp I have done all the hard work to have a userid logon with password and stop anyone getting in. I have now set up a change password facility and that again is working great on checking userid, old password, new and repeat new password. I cannot get the update part working to update the new password. It is in the way I have specified the "call adorecordset.open" as that is the line I get the error as incompatible parameters.
Basic Code is :
set adoconnection = server.createobject("adodb.connection") set adorecordset = server.createobject("adodb.recordset") connectionstring = "Provider=Microsoft.jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & server.mappath(databaseid) & "" & databaseid & "user.mdb"
I am a computer novice with no experience in PHP or SQL Servers in general. Is there anyway to set up Access as a front-end to an MS SQL Server without having coding knowledge? Is there any good wizard that will export data/formats to a SQL Server while still keeping the interface mechanisms of Access?
Hi. I recently created SQL SERVER backend for my MS ACCESS app. (I upsized ONLY the tables, so the ACCESS app contains linked tables).
The SQL SERVER resides on a different machine than the MS ACCESS app.
Every time that I run the ACCESS app, it fails to connect to the SQL SERVER ("Login failed for user 'xxx'") and it prompts me for user name and password. After I give it the right user name and password, no probs.
The problem is that ACCESS doens't save the new user name and password. So every time that I run the app, again, it uses the wrong default user name and password (I don't know where it gets it from), and I need to re-enter the correct one.
*I upsized ACCESS 2002 (tables only) to use SQL SERVER 7.0 as backend. (linked tables). * Almost all the ACCESS forms are bound type forms.
Now, I have two problems: 1. Other applications (not ACCESS ones) that use different dbs on the same SQL SERVER , are slowed down / halted. 2. My SQL SERVER license is limited to 8 "user counts". When there are 8 instances of the ACCESS app, any additional connection request is refused (from any app). (I can't afford buying more "user counts").
I suspect that beacuse the forms are bound, it hold connection open as long as the form is used. Also, each ACCESS app instance, opens its own connection.
The solution that I see, is to use unbound forms(disconnected), and opening the connection in code using connection pooling. Would you recommend on this solution? do you have any suggestions?
I have an Access database on my server. My client does not like the idea of having to download the db, make changes, then upload it back. In the past, he has dealt with SQL databases, where you can create an access data project, that will give you a desktop shortcut straight to the database. I was wondering if there was any way to do something similar with an Access database. There is FTP setup for the site and all required permissions are setup. Is there any way to create a desktop shortcut, so he can edit the database in real-time, without having to download and upload? Thanks for any help.
