I've developed an Acc2003 App that reads from a ODBC linked table.This link was created fro DBwindow->Link table. It often opens a window asking for userNmae and Pwd - I wold liek to aviod this wen distributing the App. So I wrote tis code:
Code:
Public Sub linkOdbcTable(DataSource As String, UID As String, PWD As String, dbName As String, ParamArray Tables())
Dim dbs As Database
Dim tbl As Variant
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim linked As Boolean
Dim ConnectionString As String
I have seen it done in the past but at the time my limited knowledge did not retain how to do it, it is connected through the odbc, im am running server 2000
what code do i use to connect and how do i set up the odbc
Hi pals, I have the following problem. I have a form that runs a query from 5 tables linked via odbc. The thing is that the result is showed ok.. but when I tried to edit an item in grid, I can't do it. (get that noisy bell). I realized that if i only use one one table, I can edit ok.. but If I use more than one, I can't. Any solution to that?? Thnks Mariano
I have just finished 4 hours searching and searching.
I have access to a MySQL database that has a time field. I wish to use the DTS packages in SQL Server 2000 to aquire the data to the SQL Server.
I can connect/see it using an ODBC connection, both with access 2k and the DTS bizzo on SQL server.
The time data is being seen by the microsoft end as a date format with way out values.
As MySQL has a very obvious different way of handling date/time (2 data types - one date and the other time), there must be an obvious solution to be able to use this data in access / SQL server.
Hiowever, I cant seem to find it.
damn - fire alarm must go - please help if you understand this - i will ammend later
I am trying to connect to an access database format 2003 from my access 2007 database. I would like to create a recordset from a table in the 2003 database and bind it to a listbox in my 2007 database.I tried to the following code that didn't work.
Code: Dim DNHConn As ADODB.Connection Dim Rs As ADODB.Recordset Dim connStr, xSource, xSys, xUsr, xPsw On Error GoTo errH
[code]....
When I try to execute that code, I get an error that the apllication can't start because the worgroup file is either missing or opened exclusive by another user.
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").
Is there a way to connect access database with a softphone? I have an IP PBX and a soft phone and i need to click on a form and auto dial the contact. My DB contains all the data I need and also PBX.
PBX running asterisk software.
Do i need a module or something like TAPI that call windows dialer (but win dialer use a modem and not Ip phone I guess)..Or something that just wake up voip softphone and paste data?
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?
I'm trying to tie a from into the results from and AD Query. I'm not that experienced with doing this kind of thing so I may be going about this the wrong way. Anyway here's what I've got so far:
Code: Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Dim cn As ADODB.Connection Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Set cn = New ADODB.Connection With cn .ConnectionString = "Provider=ADSDSOObject;Trusted_Connection=yes;"
[Code] .....
When stepping through the code, it all goes well until it hits the line that actually connects it to the form "Set Me.Recordset = rs".
When this line is executed, Access crashes and attempts to restart.
I am trying to connect to excel from Access database. Once I make the connection I want to delete data from a range on a specific sheet. There are 4 columns on the spreadsheet but i wouldn't know how many rows. So for example, A150... but I may not know what the last row is. How would I be able to delete data from a range of columns to the last row?
I am facing a problem with ODBC call failed error latly.The problem doesnt occur on my development PC but only on other PC's.I'm a beginer in Access, vba and I cant find a solution to make it work on every machines.
Code:
Dim qSQL As String DATA = "#" & DatePart("m", DATA) & "/" & DatePart("d", DATA) & "/" & DatePart("yyyy", DATA) & "#" qSQL = "SELECT Sum([IL]*[TO])" & _ "FROM PUBLIC_S INNER JOIN PUBLIC_SD ON PUBLIC_S.U = PUBLIC_SD.U " & _ "WHERE (((PUBLIC_SD.DAT)=" & DAT & ") AND ((PUBLIC_SD.ANA)='" & ANA & "') AND ((PUBLIC_SD.IA)='" & ia & "') AND ((PUBLIC_SD.AN_C)='PIMSS')); Set Db = CurrentDb() Set rs1 = Db.OpenRecordset(qSQL)
The code below should add a record to another table when a box is ticked. It worked fine when I wrote it in a local Access 2003 form.I have since migrated the tables to Azure and connect via ODBC, and now I get this error:nOpenRecordsetBug.PNG
A search for Identities told me to modify the code as in the second screenshot, and I now have a different error: InvalidArgument.JPG
I set up an Access 2003 database where this code works OK:
Private Sub Street_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
Me.Suburb = DLookup("Suburb", "Streets", "StreetName = Forms![Add A New Member]!Street") Me.StreetID = DLookup("ID", "Streets", "StreetName = Forms![Add A New Member]!Street") Me.Postcode = DLookup("Postcode", "Streets", "StreetName = Forms![Add A New Member]!Street") Me.Town = DLookup("Town", "Streets", "StreetName = Forms![Add A New Member]!Street")
End Sub
I've now migrated the tables to a back-end in Azure using ODBC to connect. The linked Streets table in my list displays as dbo_Streets but when I change the table name in my code I get an error.
I am looking to automate the process of linking my Access DB with an ODBC connection to an SQL DB with VBA (unless there's an easier way to do it?) - some sample code - if this is possible at all?
Connecting Access FE to SQL SERVER BE Connection is fine. I can open and close it and other queries work fine. I have only one problem with the SQL in one query
Code: With rstRPT If FirstRecord = True Then .Open "SELECT Min([" & SourceTbl & "].[3Order ID]) AS MinOf3OrderID " & _
[Code].....
why it wants to see the variable as a column name?
I am just a guy in a cube that likes Access and have been able to make it do some great things but am by no means a programmer so... It seems like the next step is to go with a SQL be and Access fe (network not internet applications) not that what I have isn't doing the job, I just want to swim with the other fish and not be left behind. So if I could just download a program called SQL that would be great but there are various kinds? SQL Server, MySQL and who knows what else. I don't know what my company will migrate to in the future (we are currently using A97 and upgrading to 03 soon) and most people here don't even know what a database is. I thought I'd give MySql 5.0 a look, dowloaded it and installed it (don't even know if I answered all the install questions correctly) and started it up and I felt like I was looking at a WordPerfect 5.1 screen all over again (blank blue screen and that was it for those who do not remember). All I saw was a command prompt with "mysql>" that's it. Now I don't mind doing my reading but I'd just like to know I am going in the right direction before I spend all this time only to find out I should have gone another way. Is there an easy start method or do I just have to bump and feel my way through all this? It seems once you leave the calm cool shallow waters of Access you are suddenly faced with strange deep sea creatures called "Programmers".
Hello, I hope I have posted this to the correct forum? Anyways, I have started porting my database backend to MySQL after a spate of corruptions and speed degrading daily, I have managed to get most things functional but one thing which I can not get working is an odd thing with the FindFirst statement. I have the following line of code...
rst2.FindFirst "AwaitingStock=True and StockIn=False and DOA=False and Model='" & Trim(Me.Model) & "'"
which works find with Access backend but with MySQL I get the error...
Run-time error '3761': The decimal field's precision is too small to accept the numeric you attempted to add.
This is obviously not the correct error as I am not trying to add anything! If I remove the bit about the Model, the code executes fine, also, if I remove all the =True parts and just leave the Model part everything works fine so I guess it is because I am mixing string and integer fields in the search???
I am building my frist database with MySQL as a backend to Access. I am using the ODBC driver and it looks very interesting. I have a question already though. I know that I can use the InnoDB engine and create relationships within MYSQL to enfro referential integirty, but should I? Or should I create the relationships in Access and let Access do the enforcing? Will my Access application report MySQL errors?
Hey, Just wanted to throw the question out there, I already asked another member on their opinion on this but havent heard anything back yet, so im going to also throw the quesation out here as well and see what i get. Im new to databases and started out trying to learn Access with the intention that what i learned in Access i could use to learn MySQL, I figured access was a easier starting point to get my feet wet. I eventaully want to apply my databases to the web and im not sure but just wanted to find out. Does access have capabilities to manage a site where customers create an account on the site and log in and everything?? I was thinking access cant really do it and if it could it might be hard, so thats why i was looking into MySQL. I guess what im really asking is whats the difference between Access and MySQL, and what advantages and disadvantages do they have?? Everybodys opinion is welcome, it all helps me out. Thanks! ~[MikE]~
I will create an Access application as a Front end application. The matter is that the users will need to update some data from Internet where there is a MySql server. I thought in creating a local DSN to connect to that MySql server. Is it right ? I already created it but... I dont know the code to connect it from Access. Could you please help me with the code to write in Access ? Im a new with it. sorry. Or you can send me an example of it in an Access database to: osvaldo@ord.com.ar
I have a split db that is currently on our server. We loaded MySQL onto the server as well. I need to run the db from MySQL, and the person that was working this project before me is now gone. I have no idea where he left off, or what he did to get it to this point. When we try to open the db we get an error message that there is a connection problem with the ODBC. We've installed the most recent patches with no success. This may sound like a really stupid question, but do I need to run the upsizing wizard for this thing to work properly? Thanks for any help you can provide.
i am havinga problem with my access database so i started to converted it to MYSQL
but after converting it and running asp script it gives the following error
Error Type: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E09) [TCX][MyODBC]You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'SELECT tblTopic.Topic_ID FROM tblTopic WHERE tblTopic.Forum_ID = 4 ' at line 1 /mycplus/forum/Default.asp, line 335
