I have a problem with my query which works fine prior to upsizing to SQL Server. Now I have an Access Front-end with SQL Server (2005) back-end client/server setup. This problem has bugged me for over one full day and I can't find anything that seems to solve it.
The error that comes up is this:
Run-time error '3146':
ODBC--call failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near '='. (#102)
The line that's producing the error is a DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT tblPBC..." The full statement is below. I can't seem to see anything wrong w/ my syntax below....
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?
Hello, I am new to this forum and hope someone will be able to help me.
I understand that when querying using a split MS Access database it retrieves all the data to the client machine and then applies the criteria (hope this is correct) at the client side.
If I were to link to Oracle XE tables via ODBC, does a query using these linked tables still bring across all the records to the client or will it run the query on the server and just bring down the records matching that criteria?
This post is really aimed at someone that has experience of network databases and the problems they can pose but if you can help at all that would be great!
I work for an insurance company and we have created a database for registering complaints on. The one we currently use is a single .mdb file which can be shared by up to 60 people at any one time. This is creating a lot of problems when the queries and some VBA code are run. I therefore made a server file which is just an mdb file with data tables in and NO forms or queries. This file is stored on a shared drive on the network server. We then created a client file which contains all of the forms and queries and code. This file contains linked tables to the server so when data is entered into the form, it "Sends" it to the server mdb file. The client is installed on each of the local machines c:. The problem with this was that if we made a change to the database, we would need to reinstall the client on every single user pc. This would of took ages. I therefore made an auto-update function that checked the version number on the server and if the server number was greater than the client number, a simple .bat fiile was run which copied the updated client file from the network to the relevant users local disk. The problem we have now is that our IT department are concered that if we make a change to the client and all the staff log in at 9am for example, it will start doing multiple copying of a file around 8mb in size to around 60 machines. They are only running on a 2meg pipe so this could cause some problems. We are not looking to change the client & server idea but does anyone know if this will have a big impact and infact if the updates for 60 machine is the equivalent or lesser of 60 people sharing the single file i mentioned earlier. If the IT dept are happy with 60 users accessing the same file at the same time, which they currently are, why are they unhappy with it updating these machine using the new method.
Would really apopreciate any thoughts anyone has..
I'm a bit frustrated with how Jet is behaving with the server (MySQL).Apparently it loves to issues commands like those: 48 QuerySELECT `city`.`ID` FROM `city` WHERE ( 'ABW' = `CountryCode` ) 48 QuerySELECT `ID`,`Name`,`CountryCode`,`District`,`Population` FROM `city` WHERE ( 'ABW' = `CountryCode` ) limit 10071114 13:44:25 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=0 48 QueryCOMMIT 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=1 48 QueryCALL BEGINTRAN 48 QuerySELECT `Code`,`Name`,`Continent`,`Region`,`SurfaceArea`,` IndepYear`,`Population`,`LifeExpectancy`,`GNP`,`GN POld`,`LocalName`,`GovernmentForm`,`HeadOfState`,` Capital`,`Code2` FROM `country` WHERE `Code` = 'ABW'071114 13:44:27 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=0 48 QueryUPDATE `country` SET `Name`='Aruba' WHERE `Code` = 'ABW' AND `Name` = 'Arubz' AND `Continent` = 'North America' AND `Region` = 'Caribbean' AND `SurfaceArea` = 1.93000000000000000e+002 AND `IndepYear` IS NULL AND `Population` = 103000 AND `LifeExpectancy` = 7.84000015258789060e+001 AND `GNP` = 8.28000000000000000e+002 AND `GNPOld` = 7.93000000000000000e+002 AND `LocalName` = 'Aruba' AND `GovernmentForm` = 'Nonmetropolitan Territory of The Netherlands' AND `HeadOfState` = 'Beatrix' AND `Capital` = 129 AND `Code2` = 'AW' 48 QueryCOMMIT 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=1071114 13:44:28 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=0 48 QueryCOMMIT 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=1 48 QueryCALL ROLLBACKTRANI want to use transactions, but with Jet's behavior, it's useless because Jet insists on committing every update it does. Disabling transactions in the ODBC driver didn't stop it. (This is why you see "CALL [Transaction method] in the query- I figured that if I made a stored procedure, disabling transactions, Jet would STFU and let me decide when to commit or rollback the transaction, but it blithely ignores the setting...)There's no "Safe Transactions" value anywhere, and I don't know where I'd look to alter Jet's behavior, already having looked at regedit and reading the whitepaper on JET and ODBC.I also seems can't to use ODBCDirect workspace for bound forms, and even if I set the recordset to a ODBCDirect workspace, I lose all Jet's intelligence in selecting only needed records (in which it does a wonderful job, I'd think). I also can see that if I create a ODBCDirect workspace, I would be creating one more (unwanted) connection to the server, which indicates to me that Jet/Default workspace will connect to the server anyway, and because the default workspace isn't an ODBCDirect, I can't modify/view connection properties.Can I please have my cake and eat it? Anybody knows whether the behavior can be altered?
I have split my database, the data is in a DB on the server and the forms, reports, etc is on the client desktop. My question is "Is there an advantage to having all of my combo box queries (Lookups) on the server side (defined in the table as a combo lookup) or should I put the all on the form so that they reside in client side DB.
I have a form for rentals where I have fields for car details and for client details. I have a list box for clients so that when I enter the Client Id I automatically get all the records filled out on the form, from the clients table...
This works but the problem is that sometimes I have a new client who rents a car that is not on the database so I insert the client details manually on the rentals form without filling in the client ID as this client does not exist on the database.
The problem comes when I want to save the form it wont allow me to leave the client ID field blank... I imagine this is because of the relationship...
Brand new on here and desparate for some help and guidence.
So far with Access I have just used it as a store of addresses to mailshot prospective clients.
However, I now need a more complex database and this is where you might be able to help.
First things first, most of my clients are in universities. This means that I can be used by more than one person in more than one department at a university.
Does this mean I need to do three tables:
1/ "University Details" which gives the address details 2/ "Department" storing the departments of the unis we work for 3/ "Client" Name of the client(s) in that department.
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.
Hi All....getting an "ODBC --call failed" error when trying to re-link tables in the Linked Table Manager in Access. I'm having a problem connecting to one particular Oracle database. I am able to connect to other DBs with no problem.
I can also connect to the problem database through SQL Navigator. And I've been able to connect to it in Access in the past. Any ideas?
while updating the databse on the server using a ftp client users get the following error on asp page.
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 0xf7c Thread 0x194 DBC 0x899e70c Jet'. /myscript.inc, line 25
line 25 has no error except the following code: conn.open "driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};dbq=" & DBPath
Is there anyway to check if a connection can not be established or the database is being updated asp page sends friendly message to user that the database is being updated or temporary down or please try again in few seconds.
Any help and idea will be highly appreciated in advance
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 am using access against an Oracle DB through an ODBC driver, and when appending records to a local table, if access gets an Oracle record error "#deleted", the append query aborts. . . that's fine, but I can't figure out how to trap the error to get the rest of the records. . .
My tables are sybase linked tables to my Access front end. I get this error whenever i click away from my mainform while my not-null fields (textboxes) have not been entered. So, i would like to put an error message "somewhere" that tells the user to fill in the necessary fields and highlight the necessary textboxes in red, instead of this scary ODBC message http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/6829/error0el.png :eek: :eek:
When i put my error handling in the afterUpdate or afterInsert Event. I still get the above error msg instead of my msgbox. Where do i put this message? or should be question be, "what the proper way to handle this intimidating error? :)
Here's my error handling:
On Error GoTo Err_Form_AfterInsert
'do something
Exit_Form_AfterInsert: Exit Sub
Err_Form_AfterInsert: MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation, "Please enter the Project Name, Project Leader Initials, Main User and Status Code" & Err.Number Me!Combo67.BackColor = "red" Me!Combo65.BackColor = "red" Me![Project Name].BackColor = "red" Me![Project Leader Initials Combo].BackColor = "red" Resume Exit_Form_AfterInsert
I have an ODBC connection to our company's data that uses Macola. I can enter criteria in the fields in Access to filter that data, but when I try to put a parameter query in such as [Enter order number:] I always get an "ODBC-call failed" message, error# 3146. Can I even solve this problem, or am I just not going to be able to actively change the criteria unless through a pivot chart or table, or by hand? Can anyone help? Thanks.

We keep having this error message when a group of our users try to open a MS Access 2000 application resides on a Netware server. "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'MSysDb'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly." Have any one seen this error before? How to solve it please! Please advice.
I have used a OLE Bound Object, so I could create a link to some .PDF files. Everything works great, and I was ready to roll it out to the users (boy will they be excited), when I noticed a silly error I could not get rid of.
After closing the .PDF file (which opened correctly) I get an error that reads:
---------------------------------------------
The operationon on the Acrobat Document object failed.
The OLE server may not be registered
To Register the OLE server, reinstall it. ---------------------------------------------
I have searched the internet, this message board and the Microsoft website, and have come up with little. I believe it might be a .dll error, but the only thing close I could find regarded MS Access 95/98. This is an MS Access 200 DB. I get the error on both a Microsoft 2000 machine AND a Microsoft XP machine.
I tried to use "On Error Resume Next" but to no luck.
If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate the help/suggestions.
I just installed Office 2007 and I get this error whenever I start MS Access 2007. "A problem occured while Microsoft Office Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control"
What could it be? I don't have any antivirus appz or such that could interfere, and my Windows XP+SP2 is updated daily.
I have a form which uses a list box to select which record to display. The code is all generated by Access during form design. It is a method I have used numerous times inthe past in various database without problem (even in the current database I am developing).But for some reason on this one form I get the following error;-
"The expression After Update you entered as the property setting produced the ollowing error; A problem occurred while database was communication with OLE Server or Active X Control".
