ODBC Driver Woes!

Apr 29, 2005

I'm sure you've all seen this before - but, it's killing me. It's for a university project which is being demonstrated soon, and I can't get it working consistently!

When pages are loaded, I get the error -

Provider Error - 80004005, Unspecified Error /db/update_select.asp line 33 (line 33 is the connection to the database)

or

Internal Server Error 500 - Page cannot be displayed

And sometimes I get one about "Jet" "Threads", and ODBC stuff.

I'm guessing it's a driver problem, but I have no idea where to go from here! I'm running Windows 2000 Adv. Server, IIS 4 (I think) and my db is access 97 :O (I would have put a newer version on, but the CD-Rom is so old on the PC it won't take 700MB CDs! Argh.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

ODBC Driver

Oct 19, 2006

I have a user that can only set up an Access ODBC driver using one listed as:

"Driver do Microsoft Access (*.mdb)"

They used to be able to set one up with listed as:

"Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)"

Any ideas as what the difference is and why it may have started preventing them from using the latter?

Thanks,

ODBC Driver - Fetch Data To New Excel Sheet According To Query

Oct 26, 2011

I have oracle ODBC Dirver which easily connect and fetch data to a new excel sheet according to the query.

But I want to fetch data to a access table from a remote server database which will automatically update the data, through the query saved.

HELP!!! Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Invalid SQL Statement Expect

Mar 27, 2007

My main experience is with MySQL and PHP so I'm kindof stumbling around in the dark here. Heres my story:

We recieved a new server and migrating from (Windows Server 2000, IIS 5.0, Access 2000) to (Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0, Access 2003) has been nothing but problems.

I have setup IIS to work with ASP, I've also setup a system DSN. The access file was copied over from the previous server. We're running Access 2003 and now I can't seem to get this ASP script to work.

When I try to upload a file to the script I get this error:

Line: 42
Char: 7

I set an alert after this line but it doesn't pop up.

ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED. I'll be checking this very frequently.

Driver Daily Log (Default Problems)

Mar 18, 2007

Hi all
Im trying to put together a Drivers Log that HGV drivers use on a laptop in there truck rather than having to fill in piles of paper work. The problem is you have to fill in your name, flt No: and regestration on every sheet, so I have decided to put together a db where as you fill as little information as possible which will be defaulted to every sheet (Form) and with a small portable printer in the truck, print out all the sheets, I have asked several questions about my db on this forum and they have been solved but Im having a problem with a default. Table1 (Form1) is the drivers details, it has a field "Drivers Name" Im wanting to default the field to the other tables in the db, The table 1 will not be open as when a driver fills in his details it will be saved and closed, My question is it possible to do this?????
Thank you

Database Connection Info And Driver

Nov 24, 2004

Hey,

Im doing a login page for my website, and i am having trouble connecting to the DB:

'Database connection info and driver
strCon = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};uid=;pwd=letmein; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath(strAccessDB)

where strAccessDB = "cs334-45/Kosy/Kosy.mdb"

cs334-45 is my computer name in the virtual directory.


Im getting this error:

Server.MapPath(), ASP 0172 (0x80004005)
The Path parameter for the MapPath method must be a virtual path. A physical path was used.
/Kosy/check_user.asp, line 21

I dont understand. I thought that the virtual directory was mapped to the physical directory
anyway? So why do I have to enter a virtual path?

Unexpected Error From External Database Driver

Jun 14, 2006

I am getting this error message:
"Unexpected Error from External Database Driver" when I try to import some .dbf files into Access. I just did some quick research, and it was suggested that I remove or rename the borland driver. Not sure how I feel about attempting that, plus, where do I get a new borland driver once the old is removed/renamed.

I Am Getting A Weird Driver Error When Connecting To Access DB

Feb 15, 2007

I am coding an ASP front end for an Access database. I actually had it working yesterday but I still had some tweaks to make. My development has come to a stand still because of this crazy error I awoke to this morning. I went to the url of my ASP page and all of a sudden I get this error:

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 0xbac Thread 0xc84 DBC 0x19e6fc4 Jet'.


So after doing some research, I decided to change my connection string to use Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0

Once I changed over to the Jet driver, I got this error message:

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

Could not find installable ISAM.


I am totally stumped with this problem. I actually re-upped the database and it started working briefly but the error message soon returned. Everything I am reading is saying to change permisions and change some stuff in the registry but since it was working fine yesterday, I do not believe it is a registry setting.

Any ideas?

Relationship Woes

Apr 20, 2005

The database for workers works ok from a solitary table, tblEmployees.

I want to make it a relational db.

I’ve incorporated lookup tables. But I’m lost about what to do next – and if it should be divided further.

I’ve studied many tutorials in relationships, but I don’t find one that resembles this one.

Could a relationship expert give advice please? I've included a sample, hoping this will be simplest way for you to understand the challenge.

Alias Woes

Sep 25, 2007

so, I have created a working SQL statement that summarises data from a bunch of different tables (it's a stock monitoring application so it all has to do with levels of stock, numbers of parts processed etc...):

SELECT tblPPIn.BatchID,
tblPartDescriptions.DrawingNumber AS [Drawing Number],
tblOrder.IssueNumber AS [Issue Number],
tblPartDescriptions.Description AS [Description],
tblPPIn.Qty AS [Total Booked In],
IIf(IsNull((SELECT Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyProcessed) AS SumOfQtyProcessed FROM tblPPProcessed WHERE tblPPProcessed.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID;)),'0',(SELECT Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyProcessed) AS SumOfQtyProcessed FROM tblPPProcessed WHERE tblPPProcessed.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID;)) AS [Total Qty Processed],
IIf(IsNull((SELECT Sum(tblPPOut.Qty) As sumofQtyOutPass FROM tblPPOut WHERE tblPPOut.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID AND tblPPOut.IQCPass = 'PASS';)),'0',(SELECT Sum(tblPPOut.Qty) As sumofQtyOutPass FROM tblPPOut WHERE tblPPOut.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID AND tblPPOut.IQCPass = 'PASS';)) AS [Total Good Parts Taken],
IIf(IsNull((SELECT Sum(tblPPOut.Qty) As sumofQtyOutUninspected FROM tblPPOut WHERE tblPPOut.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID AND tblPPOut.IQCPass = 'UNINSPECTED';)),'0',(SELECT Sum(tblPPOut.Qty) As sumofQtyOutUninspected FROM tblPPOut WHERE tblPPOut.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID AND tblPPOut.IQCPass = 'UNINSPECTED';)) AS [Total Uninspected Parts Taken],
IIf(IsNull((SELECT Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyPass) AS SumOfQtyPass FROM tblPPProcessed WHERE tblPPProcessed.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID;)),'0',(SELECT Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyPass) AS SumOfQtyPass FROM tblPPProcessed WHERE tblPPProcessed.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID;)) AS [Total Passes],
IIf(IsNull((SELECT Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailEtching) + Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailCutOut) + Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailFlatness) + Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailHandling) + Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailOther) AS SumofFails FROM tblPPProcessed WHERE tblPPProcessed.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID;)),'0',((SELECT Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailEtching) + Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailCutOut) + Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailFlatness) + Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailHandling) + Sum(tblPPProcessed.QtyFailOther) AS SumofFails FROM tblPPProcessed WHERE tblPPProcessed.BatchID = tblPPIn.BatchID;))) AS [Total Fails],
[Total Booked In]-[Total Qty Processed]-[Total Uninspected Parts Taken] AS [Total Unprocessed Parts Remaining],
[Total Passes]-[Total Good Parts Taken] AS [Total Good Parts Remaining],
[Total Passes]/[Total Qty Processed] AS [Overall Yield]
FROM tblPPIn INNER JOIN (tblPartDescriptions INNER JOIN tblOrder ON tblPartDescriptions.DrawingNumber = tblOrder.DrawingNumber) ON tblPPIn.BatchID = tblOrder.BatchID
ORDER BY tblPPIn.BatchID ASC;

don't worry about the details, it works as it is above...

now I only want to display data for batches where there are some parts left, so I've tried adding the following WHERE clause:

WHERE ([Total Good Parts Remaining] + [Total Unprocessed Parts Remaining]) <> 0

should work fine, right?
nope, we get the (all too familiar) 'Enter parameter value: Total Good Parts Remaining' (and the same for 'Total Unprocessed Parts Remaining'), despite the fact I have used these aliases in the previous SQL with no problem...

Is there any way around this or do I have to create a big-ass WHERE statement complete with the subqueries I've already used previously?

This is seriously annoying me today... any help would be massively appreciated!

cheers,

Username & Password Woes!

Jan 10, 2007

Hello!
I have a problem regarding using usernames and passwords to restrict access to certain tables/forms/reports etc....
I have read around the forum and various other websites but cant seem to get much relating to exactly what i am wanting to do.

I think i understand the way the access workgroup security works. But does this not just restrict users being able to view the database as read-only or with other certain rights like that? So, firstly would i be able to use this to restrict the database the way i want?

Or is there a way to create a table with names and passwords and create a form at the beginning where the user inputs their details and then according to the details gives/restricts access to parts of the database? Ideally i'd like the startup form to direct them to a different menu according to the user which gives them only the options they are allowed?

Seems a bit of a mouthfull and i sound like a complete newb but i been trying to figure this out all day!!
Thanks

Importing From Excel Woes !!

Jan 11, 2007

Hi all,
I have been using Excel data in Access either by importing the sheet as a table or directly linking to the sheet with no problems in the past but today I cannot seem to get the data to import in the right way.

The column on the Excel sheet is mainly populated by numbers but some of the values have letters in them. When I discovered this I formatted the column as text and tried to directly link to the sheet but the datatype kept insisting it is number. I then decided to import the sheet as a table and although it comes in as Text instead of seeing the value A1030573 in comes in as 7.1e+009 and this goes for the values that are purely numbers.

Is this a known bug, does anyone have a solution to to this ?

Thanks in advance,
Mitch....

Access Printing Woes.

Mar 19, 2007

Here's a weird problem I've had develop in the past couple months, before I upgraded to 2007, and now since I upgraded to 2007.

I've had the same Access database since 1997, and just recently upgraded it to Access2007, but as I said the problem occurred before and after the changeover.

I have two servers at the office. Server #1 (where the database is located) has attached to it is a dot matrix printer, used for printing our 4 part invoices/packing lists. I have another server (#2) which has a laser printer attached to it. The laser printer on server #2 is the default printer for all computers in the office. I have a lot of reports in Access where the printer to be used is the default printer. I have a single report in Access where I specified in the page design and layout to use a specific printer - the dot matrix on server #1.

Both servers are always on. Both printers are always on. I can go for weeks and weeks with no issues in printing the invoices. Then suddenly I'll get a

"This document was previously formatted for the printer (printer name) on (server #1), but that printer isn't available. Do you want use the default printer (\server#2laser printer) ?
OK CANCEL SETUP... HELP

It worked fine for 9+ years, and now I am getting this error. No new computers in the last 2 years. No new printer installs in the last 2 years.

I've gone through, uninstalled the printer, reinstalled the printer, both on the server and remote machines, and now I can't even get the report to "remember" that I want it to always print to the dot printer.

Any ideas?

Duplicate Entry Woes

BG1013 1067546
BG1013 1067547
BG1111 1078432

I want to be able to count the number entries where the Patient_No is the same and output the query like this:

[Patient_No] [ID] [COUNT]
BA4206 1067404 1
BA4206 1067405 2
BG1013 1067545 1
BG1013 1067546 2
BG1013 1067547 3
BG1111 1078432 1


Hopefully this is just a simple query but for some reason i cannot get it to work.

Any help is much appreciated.

Record Saving Woes

Mar 16, 2006

Ok, here is my scenario.

I have several FE's each saving in their own BE. They are all the same but for different areas of our business. Each has around 20-30 users. I recently introduced another form into the FE that has linked tables to another different BE in another folder. Each FE out there with its own BE now has this form and all of the new forms save to the same (one) BE. Ok, got it?

Now, sure its possible to have them all together and I would anticipate someone suggesting this. Its split up to keep sizes down and performance up among other reasons.

In any event, here I am. All of the new form introductions went smoothly without a hitch. The last one however is causing trouble. On submit an e-mail is sent, the user is asked if they want to submit another form, and if yes a new record is created. If no the form is closed.

E-mails are always sent, no problem. The trouble is saving the record. All except one of the different FE's I have out there in different folders save the record into the table just fine. There is one though that does not do this. The mail is sent and the program behaves normally with no errors but the record is not saved. This does not happen to all users of this FE either. There are some users that work fine and the record is saved in the BE yet other users do not save the record. You can see the .ldb appear and disappear. Our IT dept has been through the permissions time and time again and tell me they are ok. The FE and main BE are in one folder while the BE that the new form talks to is in its own folder. Remember, this works fine for several other instances, its just the one that doesn’t save the record.

I did have a chance to see the permissions the other day and it seems a mess to me. They have users in individually, as they were set up initially and the same users are also in there in a group and maybe 2 groups. The permissions look a mess to me… they really do…. but that doesn’t necessarily mean they would not work and can be blamed. I have no control over this part and it drives me nuts!

What I have done...... copied a working FE from another area into the troubled folder. No good. I have removed the new form along with its linked tables and the record is saved. Put the form and linked tables back in and it stops saving again. The code compiles just fine. I have done compact and repairs.

Any thoughts or ideas out there??? If you need more info ask. I understand what I wrote but you might not LOL

Relationship Woes With Specific Query

Mar 9, 2006

I have a pretty standard relationship set up, with the following tables:

Customers: A row/Cust ID for each customer
WorkOrders: each customer can have multiple work orders (linked to Customers by CustID, individual ID is WOID)
Jobs: each work order can have multiple job records attached (linked to WorkOrders by WOID, individual ID is JobID).

As far as I can tell, they're fine and all other forms etc work, updating no problem, referrential identity is enforced etc...

Problems: When I go to make a "job allocation" query for subsequent form, I select: Customers, Work Orders and Jobs table (I then filter by location, but
this problem remains unfiltered also). They link up fine. The query isn't nonsensical either - it lets me add new data. BUT instead of showing all the customers and work orders for the location due for the location, it will ONLY display the records that have details in the Jobs table (the lowest in the relationship chain). Basically, If the jobs sections are empty or "unattempted", then NO details AT ALL will show up in the query. Which is a problem, because I want to see ALL the "unattempted" jobs in the area to allocate them, including customer data and work order numbers. I also need to have the jobs table present, so I can allocate a job date, a contractor etc.

I'm not sure what to do. As far as I can see, the set up I have IS very standard tables/relationships-wise. I have to work it out, otherwise I'm going to have to revert to some kind of 'super-table' (like in our old system) - which I am at loathe to do - I don't want to merge Work Orders and Jobs because that means a lot more typing for me.

Would cascade update in the relationships do anything? (it is checked).

I've been away from Access for awhile and I'm just drawing a blank on this one. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Lookup Field / Autonumber Woes

Jun 21, 2006

So, basically my database has quite a number of lookup fields in tables as there is much repeated data, each one references to a seperate table with an autonumber field (ID) and a text field (Value)

Currently I have column one (ID) as the bound column in such cases, as this is what the guy who started me on access said to do, and it's fine until I try and export any query with such a field to Excel.

I have found, through experimentation, that setting the 2nd column (Value) as the bound column allows me to export the values rather than numbers, but I don't know if this is a sensible thing to do? (ie, I don't know what other unexpected effects this might have)

Any guidance here would be very welcome, thanks,
Bogzla

Null / Non Existent Values And Query Woes.

Aug 12, 2006

Hi there.

I've attached my db in the hope someone can help my head scratching.

I have got a Sales summary table with several other related table. Most notably, a table with the items in the sale and one with the costs. Because each sale might contain many different items and many different costs, I thought seperate tables were the way to go.

All I'm trying to do is make another query that gets the total sales (That's adding each line item * quantity) - (Each cost line item*it's quantity) and then finally the margin made on the deal.

However, if there are no costs or sales involved in the sale the query ignores it. (Sounds odd, but some transactions might be cost free, and some may not involve any revenue - so I have to bear it in mind).

I tried the Nz function, but It's either not what I need or I'm doing it wrong.

How do I get this to work?

Many, many thanks!

ODBC? I Think

Jun 11, 2007

We are using Access 2000 as our front end and SQL 2000 as the back end. We use ODBC to connect to the SQL database. One of my access 2000 programs was getting a little sketchy. So I created and new access 2000 database and imported all the modules, macros, reports, queries and tables. That all worked just fine accept now every time I open the new database it ask me to log in, I think it’s the ODBC connection. I have run table link manager, but it still asked me to log in. I have six other Access databases and none of them ask me to log in. So what am I missing?

ODBC Connectivity

Dec 1, 2005

Hi,

Requirement - To generate a report from a remote database

Methods opted -
1. Excel
- Connect remote database via odbc connectivity for the required query
- Excel generates the report and it can be refreshed when required

2. Access
- Connect remote database via odbc connectivity using link tables
- Generate report by writing a query on the linked table
- Since it is linked, it gets refreshed automatically

I want to go for ms access option since database is increasing day by day and excel will not be hold it.

But linking tables takes more time. Can you please suggest to extract data from remote database without linking tables?

It is not required to link the database in real time ie., No automatic refresh of data is required. Periodic refresh is enough.
Not the whole table is required to be linked. Query which returns current year data from the database is enough to generate the report. So, is there anyway to link query in ms access? Please let me know how to connect remote database fastly?
