I have a Acces 2000 front end that links to an Oracle 9i back end. Everytime i open a form/table the ODBC dialog box appears asking for username/password/server. Is there a way to bypass this using vba code so that when the Access app starts the connection is established behind the scenes and therefore preventing the dialog box appearing.
View RepliesHi, I have a front end that i have developed in access which manipulates a table stored in an oracle database. I have an ODBC connection to the oracle table.
When i open the access front end i am confronted with the
Oracle ODBC Driver Connect and am promted for username, service name and password.
My question is... Can I in any way take what is inputted into the driver connect for username and password.
For example to deactivate/activate some command buttons depending on the username that is inputted
Can anything like this be done or is this driver connect a totally individual thing?
Thanks
Hello Guy,
We use an Oracle base software called Trapeze and Microsoft Access sometime used as a front hand to access the Trapeze oracle tables.
Due to the possible dangers of allowing the users Access, Is there a way to block the users access to Administrative Tools, to create ODBC connectivity to our databases? Trapeze's security is antiquated and uses Oracle to validate accessibility. Since a user has to be created in Oracle, with update, delete, read, write, append rights, for Trapeze to work correctly, a user can connect directly to the Db through Access and make changes directly to the data, unless the ability to prevent them from creating their own ODBC connections.".
Any ideas on how to prevent them to create that ODBC connection?Thank for your help.
we have Oracle 11g as main database and for viewing purpose, we have created an mdb (Access 2007) using Link tables via ODBC connection (system DSN).While querying, count queries are working fine with accurate record counts but, all select queries are not working fine. It filters and displays with wrong records. There is no issue in query building.how to get correct records through odbc connection to Oracle database.

How to Establish the connection between Ms-Access2000 & Oracle using DAO Connection through Code?.
I created one table in Oracle and I created User-DSN in ODBC.
I linked that oracle table into Ms-Access MDB using Link table option in ms-Access.
Now, Whenever I open that mdb, we need to establish the ODBC connectivity automatically through code (I mean, we need to refresh automatically).
I need to hardcode all the information in the Ms-Access code.
My User DSN Name: abcd
Oracle Database Name: abcd

Hi,
I know (and use) the code for using a DSN already setup on a user's PC.
But, does anyone know how do it it without the DSN alredy setup in VBA to an Oracle db?
Many thanks.
Hello again
I’m trying to understand why I’m getting the message below and how I can fix it.
This happens when ever I try to run a larger qry, and it pops up within a minute.
Any help would be very much appreciated

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. . .
ugh! see attached graphic

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.
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

Hi 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 have been happily linking to a MySQL database via ODBC for a while but all of a sudden, Access 2003 is crashing whenever I try to see the actual MySQL database. No message given. It just gives the Microsoft Error window and closes down the MDB. ODBC tests succesfull. Any ideas?

Hi all, I am using access as a FE for a mysql BE. I have the odbc mysql driver installed on the workstations. My issue is that I don't want the users to be able to use the driver in say excel.
I have the password saved in the odbc setup. So any application can use it. If I don't save the password in the odbc driver then access asks for the password when you open it.
Is there anyway to save that password in access (and still use linked tables), so the odbc connection can't be used else where?
Does this make sense?
Thanks,
Michael
Really don't know the answer to this question and I thought I'd come to the experts. I have created an Access database that I use to push & pull data from an SQL database through linked tables. I created an ODBC connection on my PC and set it so the links keep the username and password for the ODBC connection. All that works great...Now my question - Is it possible to somehow "store" the ODBC connection within the Access database so that I don't have to go to every PC that is going to be running this database and create an ODBC connection? The Access database and the SQL database both exist on our network and all those that will be using it have access to both. If someone has the answer I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Glad I found this forum.
First question as user :)
I have a database I am creating with a number of subforms. A few of the subforms I want to be able to quere data from a ODBC connection. When I use the combobox to select a system, the subforms with ODBC connections are not updated. I will not be updating any of the data on the ODBC.
Should I just create a macro that does a delete quere and then make-table quere, or is there a better way?
thanks

How do I make use of a SystemDSN Connection when opening a recordset in VBA, rather than the default User Connection.
Here's the code I use to create the recordset.... Pest is the name of the connection, created via the Control Panel.
rs.Open strRs, "Pest", adOpenDynamic, adLockPessimistic
So I can create the connection entry on users local machines, without needing them to log in to do it.
Thanks.
I have split a few different MS Access databases before with the BE on a shared drive and the FE installed on all users' local machine. In this instance, I have three ODBC connections bringing in data to my tool from an outside database once a day. Is it faster to store the odbc connections on the FE or BE when I split them?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi, I have created a File DSN using my ODBC under Admin Tools and placed it on the network and have linked my Access 2003 tables to point at this.
I have asked a non-domain user to log into this database and open a table but when they do, it defaults to a Domain account until you untick trusted Source. You then have to enter the username and password for the ODBC connection. I thought the whole point of a File DSN was to eradicate the process of logging in. Can anyone Help?? Thanks

I Need help,
I have an access 2002 front end and I am linked to a sql server express 2005 backend and in one of my tables I am getting this error when I add a record to a work order table. The error is ODBC connection on INSERT failed on linked table.
A few strange rhings happen. It only involves customers with over (approx.) 140 work orders (there is a one to many with customer to work order). All other customers seem to be immune to this.
Also, if you go to the tables directly from a access database window, you can still add/edit or delete records, but in the form view, it gives you an error.
I have tried several things including changing code (the orgional code was set dbs= currentDB and dbs.execute("INSERT.......)
I have found similiar posting but no real direct causes. does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thanks

I made multiple pass through queries that receive their data via an ODBC link which is established. Currently the username and password is entered seperately in every query but I was wondering if it is possible (and how) to make both look for the values in a table (OR somewhere else if possible) for these values. The following code (with edited information) is used in all queries.
Code:
ODBC;DSN=DSNNAME;Driver=Firebird/InterBase(r) driver;Dbname=Database.FDB;CHARSET=NONE;PWD=Password;UID=User;
The reason that I would like to do this is to ensure that the user can change it easily.
I have a back end 2002 DB. I would like to disallow access to this through odbc connection. Is there some way this can be achieved? Thie directory where it is located is unfortnately cannot be restricted as the front end mde also resides there.

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
