I have a question about connection strings. Basically I have an access front end and an access back end. It works fine for now, but when it gets rolled out, I don't want to have to manually relink the tables every time. Is it possible to hard-code the database connection strings for all the tables used in the solution as the paths won't change once deployed?
I have access application which was running fine recently but for some reason everytime I run it now it gives an error on the adodb connection string saying compile error.
Its doing this on every adodb connection I have in my database.
I have tried registering the dao an ado dlls but still the problem persists.
My webhosting company lives on clusters - thus, the C: path does not exist. They have the string in the type: \iis621domains bnaglobal.com.
In the code of my eCommerce config.asp file, I tried 'connString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\iis621domains bnaglobal.comuser\_xxy yzzARZTU8934.mdb;" and I am getting: Error!
'C:domains bnaglobal.comuser\_xxyyzzARZTU893 4.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
How can I fix this connString so my DB can work.
Here are the various options: ' Database Connection String. ' ' EXAMPLE : DSN-less connection for SQL Server ' connString="driver={SQL Server};server=SERVER_NAME;uid=USER_ID;pwd=PASSWOR D;database=DB_NAME" ' connString="provider=sqloledb;Data Source=SERVER_NAME;User Id=USER_ID;Password=PASSWORD;Initial Catalog=DB_NAME" ' ' EXAMPLE : DSN-less connection for MS Access ' connString="driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=C:inetpubwwwrootstore.mdb;" ' connString="provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:inetpubwwwrootstore.mdb;" ' ' EXAMPLE : DSN connection (all databases) ' connString="dsn=NAME_OF_YOUR_DSN" '--------------------------------------------------------------------- 'connString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:inetpubwwwrootstore.mdb;" 'connString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\iis621domains bnaglobal.comuser\_xxy yzzARZTU8934.mdb;" connString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:domains bnaglobal.comuser\_xxyyzzAR ZTU8934.mdb;"
I have been trying to get a connection string to work with an OLEDB provider. I beleive the format of the string I was given is not correct. Here is a copy of the code. The string starts with quation marks but does not end with same. If I add the quotation marks I get an error. I have checked the string and it does not show the password included.

how do i change a connection string from passthrough query; i have about 100 passtrhough querys with of course a connection to a databse (oracle). With one button in a form i want to be able to change the connection to another database (oracle).
I am using the following code in a Word macro. It seems to fall over on the 'ObjConn.Open strConn' line with the message [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
All I am needing is to access a MDB and pull out a couple of fields.
Code: Dim ObjConn As New ADODB.Connection Dim rs As Recordset Dim strConn As String Dim PNo As String PNo = Application.ActiveDocument.Name PNo = Left(PNo, Len(PNo) - 4) strConn = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & _ "D:ProjectTimesheets.mdb;" ObjConn.Open strConn rs.Open "SELECT * FROM tblProjects WHERE ProjSerialNo = " & PNo, ObjConn, adOpenKeyset, adLockPessimistic, adCmdText MsgBox rs.Fields("ProjTitle")
I notice when you hover the mouse over a linked table in the Database window, that a tool tip appears displaying the connection string for that table. Where is this connection string stored and how may it be recovered by other means ( VBA )?
I am trying to put together a vba adodb connection string to a remote server. It is the first time I am using adodb in this context. I can get msysobj.connect but how do I format that information into a connection object connection string?

I would like to use code to change the connection string for linked tables in my front end database. I have tried using the connection property of the TableDefs collection, this seems to work while I step through the code but does not change the existing connection property. Any suggestions?
Hi can anyone help me, im struggling to get my database connected to my site, it is connected to dreamweaver through ODBC but will not open, the problem i believe is in the lines of cole in bold. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have been trying solve this problem for a few days. however, the best i can come into is the above code, however , the following error still approached me.

hi guys, this is my first thread on this forum...,, i am new out here..
i am not able to establish a connection with a MS Access database. I am using DSN Connection for it..
The error that i am getting is...//
Error Type: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005) [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '(unknown)'.

old Access database that's been upgraded through to Access 2000 or 2003 (probably 2000), but not beyond. Was rebuilt in Access 2003 format around 2006/2007 (by someone else who no longer works here). Being used now in Access 2007 and 2010. Uses DSN to connect to SQL Server backend. Last week it was SQL Server 2005, moved the back end on Saturday to SQL Server 2012. Changed the DSN when moving to the new server. But I don't think this has to do with the DSN (it's getting data just fine).
There's a data entry form. User enters a Generator ID, event triggers it to look for the details for the generator and load them into a generator subform. After it loads the information into the subform, and before the user does anything else, it throws "This connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is either closed or invalid in this context."It triggers post update of the Generator ID:
Code:
Private Sub txtGeneratorID_AfterUpdate() On Error GoTo Handle_err Me.txtGeneratorID = UCase(Me.txtGeneratorID) Call FillHandlerSubform(Me.subGeneratorInfo, Me.txtGeneratorID.Value) If GetGenStat(Me.txtGeneratorID.Value) = "N" Or GetGenStat(Me.txtGeneratorID.Value) = "OB" Then MsgBox "Warning Generator Status! " & UCase(Me.txtGeneratorID.Value) & vbCrLf & _ "This Generator has a status of N or OB!", vbCritical, "Bad Generator Status!" Cancel = True End If

It doesn't throw this error in the development copy of the database, dev copy works just fine. It only throws it from the production version. They are located on the same network, just in different folders. They are pointing to the same database on the same SQL Server using a DSN file located inside the folder where the .mdb file is located (this is a change in the front end, prior to this it was using a DSN on each individual machine, but I changed it to stop that).
I think the damage to my database is not recoverable, but i'm still hoping. My computer crashed when I was working on my dtabase and after restart the db is not working anymore :( If I try to do something, anything (!!!) all I got is an error message: "Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost." But the db is on my computer, I don't use it over the network. What can I do to make it working again? Thanx!
I have split a few different MS Access databases before with the BE on a shared drive and the FE installed on all users' local machine. In this instance, I have three ODBC connections bringing in data to my tool from an outside database once a day. Is it faster to store the odbc connections on the FE or BE when I split them?
I have a back end 2002 DB. I would like to disallow access to this through odbc connection. Is there some way this can be achieved? Thie directory where it is located is unfortnately cannot be restricted as the front end mde also resides there.
I have a Access front end connected to a MS SQL database using a ODBC connection which is working fine of course.
When I compile it as a runtime version and install it on the business computer I get an error with the ODBC connection (I can't remember exactly what pops up). On the business computer I have installed SQL Native Client and in the ODBC added a System DSN (which works).
I have a split Access 2010 database. If the backend file is not accessible (for instance, if our shared folder connection is broken), I get no warning message at all when opening the front end. Just the home screen you would get when launching access from the Start menu. I was thinking of adding some VBA code to my startup form to give users a warning that there is a connection problem, but Access won't even load the startup form.
I am in need of consultation for MS Access reading data from ODBC connection. I have SQL Server that has all the data for the project financials etc.
I need a database that will read only certain data from the tables, for example, I don't need to import all 500,000 lines from SQL through ODBC connection, I just want to bring certain data for a list of projects whichever are opened and load only that data in MS Access so the group then can add additional details for that project in a shared MS Access.
Right now, all I can do is connect to that database through ODBC and brings all the data which I don't need all as it increases the size of the database, but just a criteria to specify which data to bring, if that's possible to do.
Our master database has linked tables with ODBC to our SQL database and linked tables to another access database. On the computer i'm running this from a System DSN data source has been created to connect to our SQL database.
The problem I'm having is when I run Macros to kick off Queries, there seems to be some kind of timeout issue and its not consistant. Sometimes in Access after a hour or two, the ODBC links somehow just fails. I have to go up to the menu and go to 'Get External Data' and then 'Link Tables' and relink the ODBC DSN connection. I make sure to hit save password and the end but that doesn't seem to do much. This also happens sometimes when I close and reopen the database.
But it seems erratic, sometimes it can stay up for hours but sometimes just a few mins. Sometimes I can close the Access database and reopen without losing connection. Being so erratic, this makes it very hard for me to run batch files nightly to kick off Macros. Is there some kind of inactivty timer for DSNs? Or maybe with the SQL database itself? Or is the way i'm restablishing the ODBC connection wrong ?
