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 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.
Dim rstSource As Object
Dim rstTarget As Recordset
Dim Datapath As String
Dim DataSelector As String
Dim Connection As Object
ClearCustomers (True)
Set rstTarget = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Profile", dbOpenDynaset)
Datapath = "C:SOFTRAKOLWINSamdataDATA"
DataSelector = "FTC"
AdagioUserID = "SYS"
AdagioPassword = "SYS"
Set Connection = CreateObject("adodb.connection")
Connection.Provider = "ADSDB.Provider"
Connection.ConnectionString = "Password=" & AdagioPassword & ";User ID=" & AdagioUserID & ";Data Source=" & Datapath$ & "" & "DATA." & DataSelector$
Connection.Open
Debug.Print Connection.ConnectionString
Set rstSource = Connection.Execute("@R65ACST")

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 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.
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).
Thanks for the reply!
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 )?
TIA

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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedOur 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 ?
Dear Guys,
How to Establish the connection between Ms-Access2000 & Oracle using DAO Connection through Code?.
I created one table in Oracle and I created User-DSN in ODBC.
I linked that oracle table into Ms-Access MDB using Link table option in ms-Access.
Now, Whenever I open that mdb, we need to establish the ODBC connectivity automatically through code (I mean, we need to refresh automatically).
I need to hardcode all the information in the Ms-Access code.
My User DSN Name: abcd
Oracle Database Name: abcd
Schema Name(User Name): abcd

Hi :
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.
Hi, I am completely new to ASP. I have experience in other programming languages, but for my job I need to use ASP, sigh.
Anyways, just learning ASP I decided to try a free host to "get to grips" with it. It has been great for the first couple days, and am moving onto databases.
I have hit a snag where I upload a simple MS Access database to the host (7host.com) and try and connect to it. I have tried W3Schools, and numerous other tutorials but none of them seem to work
This is the kind of code I am trying:
Code:Set conn = server.createobject("adodb.connection")conn.connectionstring = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=db1.mdb"conn.Open
Which comes up with this error:
Code:Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x1238 Thread 0x10b0 DBC 0x267a024 Jet'./virtual/test.asp, line 16
Now, I really don't have a clue about ASP databases, so please be gentle ><
Thanks

I have an MS Access front-end with a SQL back-end database. It works great, I connect the MS Access front-end to the SQL back-end using a File DSN.
I have a few users (who are in the database the most) who get ODBC disconnection errors time to time. The cause of the error is not consistent, they seem to just appear out of no where. The table that reports the disconnection is not consistent either.
The only way for the users to resolve the errors is to exit the MS Access database, and then re-enter it.
I have had the DBA team analyze the SQL server, and it does not appear to be having any difficulties. We moved the database to another server (so it would be on a server with less traffic) and I rebuilt the File DSN. But the errors continue.
I will have the network team look into any errors, but I am not certain if they will find anything or not.
Has anyone run into this, and what resolutions did you come up with/work arounds did you perform? I am starting to consider upgrading to a Visual Basic .Net front-end, but wanted to see what options were left.
Thank you for your time.
T.J.
