Best Way To Connect To BE Database
Oct 29, 2007
Hello my helpfull friends,
I am going to build a multi-user database with the tables en queries stored on a server. So I will deploy multiple front ends.
Here is my question:
What is the best way to connect to the BE?
Should I link the backend using the linkingmanager (bound to a recordset) of access 2007
OR
should I interact with the data in the backend using undbound form using a disconnected recordset
OR using SQL
I would prefer the first option because it's the easiest way.
But what do you guys (and girls) recommend?

Access 2007, split database, 9 users. I have been able to link the BE tables with the Linked Table Manager. I use the DNS name path because everyone has different drive mappings. I can open my linked tables as a RecordSet and AddNew and Update records. However, I cannot Seek and Edit the linked tables. I understand that I need to open the BE tables directly in order to do this. Now, I can do a connection like this, and it works for me:
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Set dbs = DBEngine.OpenDatabase("R:DataTask_be.accdb")
But, as I said, everyone has different drive mappings. Therefore, I need to use the Network address instead of a drive letter. I tried this:
Set dbs = DBEngine.OpenDatabase("ServerMyBackEndDataTas k_be.accdb").

Hey guys... I created a reaaaally simple wages calculation program some time ago in VB6. When you click the save button, the records are saved to a .txt file stored in the same directoy as the program itself.
However, I'd like to take this a step further and connect this program with some tables setup in an Access database. I know this has something to do with ADO, right? But not quite sure how to set this up..
Would it be possible to get some guidance on this? If you'd like to see the program, let me know.
Thanks for any input!

Hi there,
Thank you for this great site, and a special thanks to all persons here who are giving a big help to newbees as me.
here is my prob:
I have set up some few ASP pages using dreamweaver 8 in wich I put some forms to collect data from users (actually I'm recruting subjects for a scientific research) and teste them on my local host using IIS server and access 2000 database. all things work correctly. My strconnection in my local machin is as follow:
Code:<%' FileName="Connection_ado_conn_string.htm"' Type="ADO" ' DesigntimeType="ADO"' HTTP="true"' Catalog=""' Schema=""MM_connsujets_STRING = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=c:InetpubwwwrootSujetsRecdbRecruSujets .mdb; Persist Security Info=False"%>
I have found a site (http://www.asphost4free.com) wich host free asp pages. I uploaded my pages but the connection to the data base is no longer working. the host site give this sample of code to get to connect to the data base:
Dim Conn
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
strConnection = "DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb);DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("/USERNAME/db/yourdatabase.mdb")
oConn.Open(strConnection)
....
...
oConn.Close
I have follwed it and I have changed the username and the database name with mine but I can't figure out what to put to replace the .... after oConn.open. I git error this error when I have tryed to connect:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'
Object required: 'oConn'
/kin2006/Connections/connsujets.asp, line 11
I deleted the oconn but it doesn't help I have tryed many other combination without any success.
Any clue!!
thanks in advance

Hi,
I am finishing an Access database for a customer that may want, in a later stage, to have a website(probably ASP) that would connect on the same database. Is that possible? I mean can an Access project on a pc connect to remote database(mdb or SQL server) used by the website?
If so can you give me some quick steps to do so or a good article on it?
Thanks.

I have been trying to come up with a solution for a problem I am having for a while to no avail. We have a backend database that stores various tables full of data. We then have a custom Excel Ribbon that connects to the database and pulls in the different tables depending on the user selection form the ribbon. Everything is working well on that end. The problem I am running into though is that in the development phase of the ribbon and database we had multiple versions and so there are still some people who are using old versions of the ribbon and therefore not connecting properly to the database. Is there some type of code I can add into the database and ribbon where it checks for a specific version to ensure the user is using the most recent version?
Basically, before any type of query is run to connect to the database the ribbon would have some sort of label on it somewhere and the database would check for that label and if it is correct, the code proceeds and if not a message box appears that tells the user they are not using the most current version of the ribbon and exits the sub?

Hi all,
I'm designing a db in which I have a list of teacher names, and for each record (each teacher), there is a list of subject that this teacher teaches.
what i did is the following:
I have designed a form with teacher name, and a form for subjects.
I have added a button in the teacher form, next to each teacher name, this button we take the user to the subjects form to add the subjects for this particular teacher.
To link these to form, I have added the primary key of the teacher table (TeacherID) in the subjects table, so the relationship is one-to-many.
but I couldn't get to connect them.
I want the subject form to get the TeacherID from the teacher form to connect each teacher with his subjects. How can I do that?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Best Regards,
CS.

Hi All,
I am new to ASP, so bare with me. I am trying to connect to a database with ASP thats on an online server. I am recieving the following error:

Hi All,
I've been working on many other domains but very new to Access world. Anyway,coming to the point.I have a database built on Access and the reporting is being done on Excel.Till now,there is no connection between both.Users are doing copy/paste procedure for reporting in excel.i tried to connect both and get the data directly in to excel with out copy/paste procedure(i.e., just by refreshing the excel sheet would do). But when i create an ODBC connection between them, it says that the required permissions are not given to you by the administrator.I'm trying to create a file DSN.so,can anyone tell me what exactly i need for this?is it the admin rights of access database (or) the admin rights of the folder where the mdb file is located?little confused on this.I already have the admin rights on the folder where the mdb file is located but still getting the error.admin rights of the datasbe cannot be given because no one knows the password of administrator ID of Access database(little funny but it is the fact!)
can anyone please let me know how can i get through this problem as this would be the crucial thing for this project.
Regards,
Ravindra

Hello,
Is it possible to connect to a text file via ODBC with an Access database. I have tried with a pass thrrough query but I get an error stating you can not use ODBC to link to an external Microsoft Jet or ISAM database table. I know I could import the file but this would put my database way over the 2 gig limit.

We are struggling with the following thing. We already tried to explain it in this thread (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=111533) but we still don't get it :(.
We have a table, named "Tblapa".
This table contains: ID, UK, Area, Tf, Tt and Number
We have made a query, named "Qrychoosearea"
This query gets his input from the "Tblapa"
(and thus, the query results in: Area, UK, Tf, Tt and Number)
Now we would like to make a form, named "FrmArea" with a combobox.
This combobox lets people choose an Area of their interest out of the list of given Areas. Then they have the press an "OK" button
Upon clicking on the "OK" box we want to generate a REPORT based only on that specific Area (and the related UK, Tf, Tt and Number ofcourse) and thus not showing all Areas.
How do we have to do that?
As we are just beginners in Access and have no feeling for VBA (yet), a detailed explanation or a link to a website who explains how to do this (with images or so) would be much appreciated.
Greetz,
Math

Hi
I'm new to ASP and I need to connect my webpages to an Access database I have created. I would do this in dreamweaver normally but I'm having trouble using the custom connection string function to do this. So I was hoping someone could explain how I would do this by coding it instead.
The code my web host provide to connect to a database is below. If someone could explain to me how I would use this to connect to a database, I would be very grateful. Thanks.
Quote: Dim oConn, sConnection
Set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
sConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=C:sitesSingle??UserNamedatabasedata.md b;" & _
"Persist Security Info=False"
oConn.Open(sConnection)
oConn.Close
Set oConn = nothing

Hi all
I'm making an Access front-end for an existing app based (I think) on SQL Server 2000. (The Access thing makes labels... the "label wizard" supplied with the SQL Server program isn't very good.)
I can use it fine, but eventually it's going to be used by non-techie people. As it uses linked tables, when you first run it you get a message box similar to this popping up:
http://www.rainjam.com/images/login.jpg
On some machines it tries to create a trusted connection automatically, and fails, and then gives you this box with "Use Trusted Connection" ticked - thus making it even harder for people to use.
Ideally I don't want anyone to have to bother with this. Is it possible to put something into the form's OnOpen event that passes the server, database, user & password details to SQL Server, so it all happens invisibly? I've already tried creating a file DSN on the machine it'll be used on (doesn't seem to do much) and also putting this code in:
Set objConn = New ADODB.Connection
objConn.ConnectionString = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=[server];Database=[db];Uid=[blah];Pwd=[blah];"
objConn.Open
(I must admit this was a bit of a stab in the dark... it didn't work anyway)
I also found this thread (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=50449) and tried the code but it didn't seem to work (got one of those "You entered an OnOpen expression that can't be evaluated"-type errors).
Finally... I briefly investigated redoing this whole thing as an Access Project, but haven't ever used them before and don't really have the time to learn!
Any tips would be really, really gratefully received...
Cheers
Nick
