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,
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!

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.
Excel is working good with automatic update option but can't fetch data to access table.
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
Error: HELP!!! Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Invalid SQL statement expected 'DELETE','INSERT','PROCEDURE','SELECT', OR 'UPDATE'.

Hi Guys,
I'm using this connection string below.
strConnection = "Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};Server=ServerName;uid=UID;pwd=PASSWORD;"
But I keep on getting this error.:
[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]
Any ideas??
I have created a DSN with the same parameters and using the same driver and it still fails. What file should I update?
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
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?
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 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?
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
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?
i am using access as a front end to SQL Server 2005 and link tables via ODBC.
Today when I run a query (normally works fine) I receive an ODBC Failed message box. I have tried opening each link table connected to the query and can open fine.
can anyone suggest other reasonf or this failure?
Hi
I'm using Microsoft Query to get data from a MS Access database into MS Excel. It seems that whenever I pull data from a UNION QUERY or SELECT QUERY based on a UNION QUERY I get an error message:
"Too few parameters...expected 8"
Can anyone offer suggestions?
Thanks
I am running a report that is built up of several backend queries.
I have identified the query that is causing the ODBC Failed message to appear, but cannot identify what is causing the problem.
I have tried to recreate the queries starting form the base query (which works fine).
Cannot anyone suggest anything?
Thanks

Hi Everybody!
I am creating an Access database that will be used by multiple users. This database will be on the network and will be the front end of an oracle database connected to it via ODBC. Do I have to set up the ODBC to oracle only on the machine that hold the database on the network or do I have to set up an ODBC on each user's machine?
Thank you for your help.
I am having a problem with an access database that is connecting to a sql server. When trying to run any queries it is very slow. I think the problem might be caused by the ODBC link and I was wondering if there are any alternatives to using ODBC to connect access and sql.
View 5 Replies View RelatedGood Morning,
Im trying to set an ODBC connection to automate the connection process.
The current code I have is:
Set wrkODBC = CreateWorkspace("NewODBCWorkspace", "admin", "", dbUseODBC)
MsgBox "Opening Connection...."
Set MainConn = wrkODBC.OpenConnection("Connection1", dbDriverPrompt, True, "ODBC;DATABASE=live; DSN=live;")
which works fine in bringing up a dialog box to choose the connection.
But what do i write in the database and dsn fields to enable the automation process.
See attached picture for the log in settings. All I have to do is press 'Connect' to start talking to the ODBC.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just a quick (hopefully easy) question.
Does anyone know if it is possible to link to Filemaker Pro tables for Mac, into Access?
The Filemaker DB will hold the data, with Access displaying the forms, along with some additional tables.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I use dsn file as below from Access to link to SQL server via ODBC.
From Access, I use this file but list all tables including system tables. How to restrict system objecs?
[ODBC]
DRIVER=SQL Server
UID=aspfun
Trusted_Connection=Yes
DATABASE=credent
WSID=aspfun_ws
APP=Microsoft Data Access Components
SERVER=order
Hello...
Question, do you need one for your database and if so why? I have read what they are but I haven't found really why you would need it?
Don't know if this is the right place to post this question but wanted to get some input on this.
Thanks

My program is an Access 2003 database that connects to SQL 2000. I have a continuous form that shows between 10 an 25 records. I have coded an update button that when clicked updates a check box on each record displayed and then updates the form. Normally this works perfectly. However, sometimes when the button is clicked nothing happens for aproximately a minute then the user gets the error ODBC - call failed and no records are uodated. I have tried resetting the view from Dynaset to Dynaset (Incosistent Updates) and extending the timeout to 300. I have also tried extending the MSAceess Page timeout setting to 5000 instead of 5 under ODBC. Nothing has helped. Does any have any other solutions? Or a way to get a more specific error. I am really just guessing that it is a time out issue.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi i would like to make a question about ODBC i have created an access database that connects via ODBC to an SQL server database, with the help of someone else i have created this code that works well for the link of 1 table that i choose to link the problem is that i want to link all tables from database and not doing it 1 by 1.
Is there a way to link all tables from database ???
The code i'm using is :
Dim strConnect As String
Dim strDatabase As String
Dim strTableName As String
strDatabase = DataBase_Now.Value
strTableName = "Tbl_A_Yles"
strConnect = "ODBC;Driver={SQL Server};Server=" & Server_Ip & ";DATABASE=" & strDatabase & ";UID=" & Server_User & ";PWD=" & Server_Pass & ";"
'Checks to see if table exists. If it does, delete it.
If TableExists(strTableName) Then DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, strTableName
'And then use the trusty old TransferDatabase method to re-link the table declared in strTableName from the SQL Server
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acLink, "ODBC Database", strConnect, acTable, strTableName, "dbo_Tbl_A_Yles"
Thanks in advance.
I want a linked table in my current database. The server where the other access database is already has a ODBC connection created. How to I create a linked table to that other Database through the odbc? I know this is very unspecific, but I do not know what to do on either end. Thanks

I wonder if anyone had any suggestions regarding how to link 4 ODBC tables so the info in each of the 4 ODBC tables are in one table. The 4 ODBC tables are linked in from a mapping system. Each table has 80% the same fields with some minor differences. i dont know if a union query would be the best answer in this case as the field in each of the ODBC's tables do not exactly match. Some have 12 fields, some have 14 fields. Any help would be appreciated?
also this would be using Access 2003 if you would like to know. thanks
sorry if thi9s is the wrong place but I thought I would try somewhere.
I would like to create links to table trough an odbc link.
whta I have is an estimation programme that creates 4 tables in a directory/folder each time you create a new estimate I have an odbc link that points to the given folder where the tables are being created. What I would like to do is to search this folder and link specific tables to my database which is a contract control programme. the tabels are given unique name for each estimate example names are: 0001_assembly, 0001_data, 0001_increment, 0001_system
so to sum up is it possible to create a lnk to these tables on the fly. any one got any ideas and possible codes samples for doing this.
Thanks
