In Access can I link to a SQL Server view? I am currently linking to the
SQL Server tables in my database and don't have any views. But if I can link to views I could give the workgroup permissions in Access to the views, not to the primary tables. This would provide some added security from the user who bypasses my switchboard forms and goes to modify the Access tables directly.
Hi
I have a database that currently has security in place so that users input their own usernames and passwords to access the database. The users have recently been added to a windows 2000 server and I want to be able to use their windows 2000 server logon credentials to provide them with automatic access to the database. Is there anyone out there who knows how to set this up? It is a rather urgent request if you could get back to me either on this forum or via email

Is it possible to have the master datebase in SQL Server, the replica in Access format and still can sychronize them?

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?

Hello all,
I'm trying to set up an access 2000 .adp project connecting to a SQL server 2005 database. I can set up the connection ok, but once I have completed the setup process, I can the following error messages if I try to creat any new database objects:
If I try to create a new object (a view or table etc), Access tells me that:
'I do not have exclusive access to the database at this time. your changes will not be saved.'
If it's a view, I then get the following message:
'The Visual Database Tools within Visual Studio 6 and Access 2000 do not support some new features of SQL Server 2000. Because you are manipulating an object in a SQL Server 2000 database, some operations will be unavailable to you. In rare cases, you might not be able to save the database object you modified. In other cases, you will be able to save the object, but its previously existing settings for features new to SQL Server 2000 will be lost. In most of these cases, you will be warned if the Save operation will eliminate existing settings or property values.
For a complete description of the interaction between SQL Server 2000 and Visual Database Tools within Visual Studio 6 or Access 2000, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q266277, "Using Visual Studio 6 and Access 2000 Visual Database Tools with SQL Server 2000." Knowledge Base articles are available in the MSDN Library Visual Studio documentation or at http://support.microsoft.com/support/.'
To supress this message next time you design a SQL Server 2000 object from Visual Studio 6 or Access 2000, check the following box.
Finally, I get the following error.
'You are connected to a version of sql server newer than sql server 2000. save will be disabled'
Obviously I want to be able to creat and save new objects.
Can anyone help? I've sone some searches on the MS support site, but have not found anything that appears to be relevant.
Thanks,

Hi all,
having some serious troubles with a MS Access 2000 project running on a Windows 2003 Server environment.
If I compile the project it doesn't produce a compiling-error. Everything seems to work fine. Creating a .mde file and running it on a Windows Server 2003 produces some serious errors. The project seems to be starting correctly but opening a form or simply trying to close the application causes MS Access to crash! :mad:
I tried the project on 2 different Windows Server 2003 environments, 1 having MS Access 2000 installed and 1 having only MS Access 2000 Runtime installed. Both are experiencing the same problems.
The following references are used in the project:
- Visual Basic For Applications
- Microsoft Access 9.0 Object Library
- Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.6 Library
- Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
- Microsoft Jet and Replication Objects 2.6 Library
- OLE Automation
- Microsoft Office 9.0 Object Library
- Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.8 for DLL and Security
I tried the following solutions to solve the problem:
* Removing MS Access completely and reinstalling it.
* Compiling and creating a .mde on the Windows 2003 Server which has the full version of MS Access 2000 installed.
* Using JetComp to repair the database.
* Creating a new MS Access 2000 application and copy all Forms/Modules into it.
Nothing helped so far..
The same project is running correctly on Windows 98, ME, 2000, 2000 Server and XP Pro/Home. Both Windows 2003 Servers are fully updated, including updates regarding MS Access.
Help...
Strewth didn't think I was ever going to work with Access again, but I am, so here comes a table link question for you.
Got an access xp FE linking to SQL server via a DSN file. All linked up fine, however the tables in access have been given a 'dbo_' prefix to the original table name in SQL server. :rolleyes:
How to get rid off?
A setting in the DSN file?
Some VBA to loop through each table and rename?
Linked table manager which I haven't got round to installing yet?
Thanks

Hi,
Current situation:
We have various departments using a Db and some of the users have drive mappings to different to others (company reasons). So far we have had to create different front-ends for each section, not very useful for updates etc.
What I'd like:
To be able to link to the tables on the server using the server name and not a specific drive letter.
My question:
Is this possible some how?
Would using SQL server for the back end be a way of getting round this issue?
Thanks for any assistance as usual
Matt
Hi Guys,
I am new to this forum and I am hoping you can help. I have produced an Access 97 database on a PC on the hard drive (C I have sent this to a client but he cannot run it as the backend data files are in C: and he is running the whole access programme on the R: drive. As the front end is an MDE file is there anyway I could write the path to the linked files so that access can find them automatically. The same problem applies with the help files, how can you define the location of the help files when you don't know the end users server location?
Any advice would be most welcome.
Regards
Chris
I want to work on SQL Server tables located at my work place at home using Access. My question is; is it possible to link SQL Server tables on a server to my lap top computer using "Remote Desktop" or will I need to install Access onto the server and if tables can be linked using Remote Desktop how do I link them? I am using Access 2010 and have Windows 7 professional installed on my lap top.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a windows 7 machine with Access 2000 installed. I need to link to some tables on an SQL server and "SQL Server" does not appear in the dropdown of available link types. I think a driver is missing. I did a clean install of Office 2000 and only selected MS Access. Maybe that prevented everything needed from being installed. I would like to add just the missing driver if possible.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a access DB for my employees with pictures. The main form displays their info and a picture as I scroll page to page. But I also have contact report that will show all info and picture. I am having difficulties linking the pictures from a seperate folder on my server.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to link a table in one database to another database using the server name designation (ie.//2sxfprinff01Group) instead of the mapped network name (ie. G:). I tried relinking using the Access Link Manager. Right click on the linked table. But it does not let you edit the link.
Access 2007 does not allow this and reverts links to the G: drive. There are situations where the the IT department have set the mappings to this shared location as an H: for some of the employees. In those cases, the employee gets an error message telling them that Access cannot locate the G: drive.
An obvious solution is to get the employees remapped to the G: drive. However, one would think that MS would have allowed for mapping to the designated location and not an alias.
I am opening and closing a series of Excel 2000 Workbooks using Access 2000 VBA and want this sequence to be able to complete without any human intervention.
However, there are 2 instances when this stops and waits for a human option to be selected:
1. When the spreadsheet is password protected
2. When the spreadsheet has automatic links I get the message:
"The Workbook you opened contains automatic links to information in another workbook. Do you want to update this workbook with changes made to the other workbook?"
How can I code it so that in situation 1 it skips this file and in situation 2 it automatically defaults to do not update?
Any help most appreciated.

If I have a report in MS Access 2000 generated based on the criteria selected of a project with work order "9999" with the labor costs, materials costs and the Totals of each crew1, crew2,... and I would like to have those expenditures populated in corresponding cel in Excel for each crew, HOW would I do it?
To think it out loud, could I create a button on a form, so when I select the criteria for the work order, and when I click the button, it should refresh/update the Exel file with the new data...?? How do I write VBA code for that...?
Please help...Thank you so much....

Hi, can someone tell me if there is a way to save several different datasheet views? I have a large database with many fields. I use forms for data entry, but to view the data I use the table datasheet (so I can see multiple records at a glance). But every time I have to manually move, freeze, and hide columns to get the view I want!! Is there a way to save several different datasheet layouts that I can access the view I want with one click? because I am tired of freezing/hiding columns every single time.
Many thanks
Hi everybody,
I have recently been doing a conversion for my boss for a access 2000 database (both front and backend) to a MSSQL backend.
I finished the conversion today (as quite a lot of the code / queries ran slow due to access running the queries locally rather than on the server). And tested it on my and my boss's machine with no problems so he gave the go ahead to update everybody to our new mssql 2000 backend with the modified frontend.
This is when the problems started; We had two different sets of forms for accessing one of our databases systems - the log system, one is the original dynaset based form, and the other is a newer set which uses snapshot views and preforms updates via queries. Nobody uses the old dyanset system apart from my boss and one of the administrative team as they have things on that window which they need to see. About 30 minutes into the release of the new database the system frooze up on my bosses computer and nobody could create a new log (the server was timing out). I assumed this had something to do with the old dynaset's creating locks on the table.
I offlined the database and kicked everybody out of the front end, turned it on again and tied again, this time banning everybody from the dynaset system. Within 10 minutes another computer frooze up, again with a timeout on the insert query. I discovered that after you had added a new log to the database it would timeout on all subquent additions (something it hadn't done during testing) . Further investigatiion showed it was the snapshot list window causing the error, so coded the add log window to close the list before preforming the insert query and then reopen it afterwards. This allowed my machine to make multible additions without flaw. So I released a new client to everybody. 15 minutes later it was timing out again, but this time there you could not even make one new record.
I checked for locks on the table though the server management table and couldn't find any for the Log table. I have restarted the SQL server box and with no avil. So I reverted our backend to the access mdb file and told people to use the old client.
I am at a complete lose to why this is happening, if anybody has had any expericences like this or knows the cause please tell me.
Some information on the database in question.
It was made as an access 2 database all intergrated into one file, then it was seperated into two files (frontend and backend). Upgraded to Access 97, then to 2000 before this final update to MSSQL 2000.
The log system has two main tables. The first is the log title / info table which links (one to many) to a log entry table. This problem only occurs on the main log table and does not appear to be reoccurring anywhere else within the database. The main log table has just under 18,000 rows in it.
Thank you in advance for any help,
Dom
Hi Pals,
Is it possible to create VIEWS for access Tables....
If its possible... How its pls ? :confused:
Hi all,
I write a program which is querying some data from a MS-Access database.
The problem here is, that the tablenames contain characters like "/" or "-" and I
do not want to change these names, because I think that the database
structure will be damaged.
To solve this problem I thought of creating a view to the table. I tried creating
this with a SQL statement, but that did not work.
Is there any other possibilty to create a view on a MS-Access table?
Regards,
Stefan

Is it possible to remove the navigational functions of the form while in view mode (ie first record, previous record, search, next record, and last record)?
