Accessing SQL Server
Feb 25, 2005I have time entry program that the company I work for recently purchased that uses a SQL server 2000 Back end. I can connect to the database just fine if I create a project in Access. What I need to do is take data out of a couple of the tables in the SQL Server and place them in an access table. I really don't want to add any code or tables to the Access project that I created since it seems it would add tables and queries to this products database. What would be the best way to siphon data out of this software package for my own use? This would become a daily process so it needs to be fairly automated and easy.
Thank you for your help.
Accessing Sql Server Problems
May 23, 2005I have an access database that I connect to an sql server database. When I use my computer I can connect to the sql server, however when I connect to the server using someone elses machine I get the connection failed error. Currently I am the only one given permission to access the data folder that the sql server data sits in. I'm sure if we just allowed everyone to have access to the Sql Server data files the program would work fine, I would prefer not to do this. Is there a way to create the dsn file and store a password and username with the file? This way no matter what computer I open the file on it would still work without having to give permissions to each user to access the data folder.
I need to add some more information that I'm learning as I go along. First this is a thrid party program that I'm trying to access. 2nd the system adminstrator had to add me as system admin on the server machine for it to work. I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post these questions or not I just need some pointers to look for as I work through this problem.
Thank you for any help
Access Accessing A SQL Backend
May 4, 2007I have an MS-SQL backend which i use for my data source. I then use Access for reporting services. (It works so much better than SQL Reporting Services 2005).
this seems simple, but i can't get it to work. Everytime the users start up access, It pops up a login and password for the ODBC link. Even when i have the password and login setup in the ODBC DSN, it still requests it everytime you start connecting to the datasource.
Is there anyway to somehow hard code this into the Access front end somehow so i don't have to give the password to the users?
MP3 Files In Access DB: Accessing In ASP
Apr 12, 2006I have an access database with MP3 music stored in it.
This works file in access if I double click the access cell the the tune O want to here it works, so it looks like I can store MP3 sounds in an access database.
Not I have it in the database how can I extract it in ASP so the my new web-page will play the tune when the item is double clicked?
To play MP3 hard coded I put an embed this works with a file-name "mytune.mp3" but I want get those on the d/b.
I made this ASP:
[code]<p><%=RS("Tunename")%> <br>
<embed src= "<%=RS("MUSIC")%>"
width="252" height="36"></embed></p>
where Music is the name of the cell containing the MP3 file.
This gave me:
[code]<p>mytune <br>
<embed src= "?$" width="252" height="36"></embed></p>
Any ideas what I need to do to get this to play?

Accessing The Builtin Bitmap Images In Access
Mar 28, 2007There are those builtin bmp images in access e.g. delete, edit, select, filter, etc etc. I am trying to access the location of these small bitmap images and use them for a web application i am creating. Do you know where they are located? I am searched with no luck.
Someone also sent me an access db, i'd like to reuse the buttons (same bitmap images: edit, delete) from this access db. Where do i go to extract the images?
Queries :: Access Web 2010 - Accessing Sharepoint Author And Modifier?
Mar 1, 2015We're running an Access 2010 web database.
As expected when we published to Sharepoint additional fields were added to the Access tables [App Created By] and [App Modified by]. We want to use these fields for Audit information however they are always empty. How should they be populated?
Access FE SQL Server BE
Dec 5, 2007We'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. "
Would anyone recommend this approach?
SQL Server To Access
Feb 15, 2006I 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:
DelDate: Format([DSREQM],"mdd") & "/" & Format([DSREQY],"y")
Any ideas?
Access Using Jet And SQL Server With ADO
Aug 29, 2007Hi
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

Access Projects With SQL Server
Oct 26, 2006I 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
MS Access And Sql Server Permissions
May 8, 2007I 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?

View 10 Replies View RelatedAccess / VBA / SQL Server Question:
Aug 29, 2005I 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?
Thanks.

Connection Between SQL Server And MS Access
Jun 17, 2006Hi :
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.
Please tell me the steps how to solve it.
Please help.
Thanks.
Updating MS Access On Web Server
Dec 20, 2007Hi, 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"
call adoconnection.open(connectionstring)
adorecordset.cursorlocation = aduseclient
sqlstring = "SELECT * from [tblOwnerLog] WHERE [UserId] = '"&username&"' AND [Password] = '"&oldpw&"';"
call adorecordset.open(sqlstring, adoconnection,adopenkeyset,adlockoptimistic)
I have tried many ways, by altering my SQLString etc, but seem to get all tied up.
I want to update adorecordset("password") with the new password.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Using Access As Front End For SQL Server
Jul 18, 2012I 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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAuthentication Problem To MS SQL SERVER From MS ACCESS App
Jul 12, 2005Hi.
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.
HOw can I solve it?
Thank you very much

Access Query - Change Of Server
Jul 19, 2005I wondered if someone could advise?
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....."
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
