Best Way To Set Up A Network Connection

Jan 11, 2007

I have a small access database that my users keep open all day long. Access 2000.

I have one primary version of the DB on the network. No one uses it. I have another file on the network that has linked tables to the primary db. I copy a version of this DB to each workstation.

So each user has a full blown DB on their desktop with linked tables back to the main DB. Is this a good set up or are there any issues doing this? What is the best set up for multiple users across the network? Thanks.

Error Accessing File. Network Connection May Have Been Lost

May 20, 2005

I think the damage to my database is not recoverable, but i'm still hoping.
My computer crashed when I was working on my dtabase and after restart the db is not working anymore :( If I try to do something, anything (!!!) all I got is an error message: "Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost." But the db is on my computer, I don't use it over the network.
What can I do to make it working again?
Thanx!

Modules & VBA :: Verify A Network Connection / Bad File Name Or Number

Mar 22, 2014

I have a picture stored on a network file share that populates each time a particular form is opened. Every so often we lose our connection (which is a different issue altogether). Right now the error I get after much grinding away, is "Bad file name or number"

Is there a quicker way to check for the connection before it spends 45 seconds trying to find the whole path?

Code:
Dim vFolderPath As String, dirFile As String, strFile As String
vFolderPath = Nz(DLookup("FolderName", "tblCodes-FolderControl", "FolderKey = '" & "Profile" & "'"))
dirFile = vFolderPath & Dir(vFolderPath & ctrl_people_id & " *", vbDirectory)
strFile = dirFile & "profile_pic.*"
'Debug.Print dirFile
On Error Resume Next
If Dir(strFile) <> vbNullString Then
Me.[ctrl_ImageFrame].Picture = dirFile & "" & Dir(strFile)
Else
Me!ctrl_ImageFrame.Picture = "X:~stuffprofile_icon.png"
End If

Please Help!! "Error Accessing File. Network Connection May Have Been Lost"

Oct 12, 2007

Hi all,

I have been developing Access 2K applications. Lately, every time I click a command button on a form or even open the code window for a form, I got this repetitive error message. I even create BLANK Access db and re-import all objects or create brand new form and copy the control designs/code from the error one to the new one. The new db or the new form still have the same ERROR, which is as follow :

"The expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost.
*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Event Procedure].
*There may have been an error evaluation the function, event, or macro."

Please help! Thanks so much for your suggestions/
Have a great weekend,

How To Establish The Connection Between Ms-Access2000 & Oracle Using DAO Connection?

Sep 26, 2005

Dear Guys,
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
Schema Name(User Name): abcd
password: abcd

ADO Connection

Feb 10, 2005

I have a data base that I use ADO primarly to connect to the backend access database. Each time I query a table I create a new connection and then kill the connection after I'm done with it. Should I be creating a global connection and leave open the entire time the program is open, or should I be killing the connection each time?

ADO.NET Connection - Help?

Feb 28, 2005

I simply want to create a connection to an Access db, and run an execute an SQL statement.
I have only used RecordSets in the past, so this ADO.NET is completely new to me.

Can someone give me a sample code to execute an SQL statement, and take the result and assign it to a string variable?

I can bind my results to a DataGrid, but if I need it in a string, what good does that do me???

Also, I am only familiar with VB, but if someone has to post it in C#, I'm sure I can figure it out! I appreciate any help.

hi everyone;
I'm trying to make an ADO connection to my local database named "dbTest.mdb".
Here is the code I'm writing in my editor:

Code: <body> <% Set CN =server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") CN.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:InetpubwwwrootNew FolderdatadbTest.mdb;Persist Security Info=False" Set RS =server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") Set RS.ActiveConnection = CN RS.Source = "select * from tblTest" RS.CursorLocation = adUseServer RS.CursorType = adOpenKeyset RS.LockType = adLockOptimistic RS.Open response.Write(RS.fields(0)) RS.close Set RS=Nothing %> </body>

and this error comes up in my browser:

Code: Error Type: ADODB.Recordset (0x800A0BB9) Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another. whats the problem with my code???!!

Using DSN-less Connection

Apr 19, 2006

Good Morning,

Rookie Alert ! I am trying to incorporate simple Access database to web page. In page one, I use Database Results Wizard to display records in database. I pass parameter (last name) via hyperlink to second web page to view complete record. I always get no records found. When I asked tech support, they sent me this:

We do not have registered DSN's on the host server. You will need to use a DSN-less connection string using an absolute path to the file. The path to your account is c:accountsusername and from there you would add the path to the db within your home directory, I.E. -

"Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=c:accountsusernamewwwRootmydataba se.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=;"

I have seen other references to this and I have tried what they said with no luck. Where in the page code would I put this? I am using Frontpage 2003. Any suggestions would be helpful or a working example would be nice.

To look at what I am doing, go to test page:

Thanks in advance.

ODBC Connection

Jun 21, 2006

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.

SQL Server Connection?

Jan 30, 2007

Hi all,

I have an .adp that works fine on a number of people's laptops.

One of the users however, keeps getting an error message stating that SQL Server does not exist or access has been denied.

This particular user is definitely setup on SQL Server with dbo permissions. She can also ping the server.

I have tried creating a DSN and this doesn't work either.

I am at a loss as to why this error message is occurring given that she can see the Server and has definitely been setup.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kabir

Odbc Connection

Apr 24, 2006

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.

ADO Connection To SQL Back-end

Aug 30, 2005

I am working on an MS Access database that will connect to an MS SQL db back-end through ADO code only (no constant connection), so I am using connection strings when it is needed to pull back data, other wise it is not connect to the back-end database.

I am trying to get the code correct, and I believe I am close but missing one piece. Here is an example of what I have so far:

--------------------------------------------------------
Dim cat As New ADODB.Connection
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset

cat.ConnectionString = "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;SERVER=KCNTLBASE;DATABASE=Test;U ID=testuser;PWD=testpassword"
cat.Open

Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
cmd.ActiveConnection = cat
cmd.CommandType = adCmdText
cmd.CommandText = "Select MttrNm from dbo.Page0"
cmd.Execute

Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.Open cmd 'cmd.Execute

MsgBox rs.RecordCount, vbOKOnly, "Test"
'Debug.Print rs.GetString

cat.Close
-------------------------------------

I believe my error is at this line:

cmd.ActiveConnection = cat

I want the cmd to use the connection string. But all the help I find is just the code "CurrentProject.Connection" which only connects me to the MS Access database itself.

Does anyone know what I need to place here so that the cmd is using the correct connection string to the SQL back-end?

Thank you for your time.

Connection String

Mar 16, 2005

My webhosting company lives on clusters - thus, the C: path does not exist. They have
the string in the type: \iis621domains bnaglobal.com.

In the code of my eCommerce config.asp file, I tried
'connString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\iis621domains bnaglobal.comuser\_xxy yzzARZTU8934.mdb;"
and I am getting:
Error!

'C:domains bnaglobal.comuser\_xxyyzzARZTU893 4.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.

How can I fix this connString so my DB can work.

Here are the various options:
' Database Connection String.
'
' EXAMPLE : DSN-less connection for SQL Server
' connString="driver={SQL Server};server=SERVER_NAME;uid=USER_ID;pwd=PASSWOR D;database=DB_NAME"
' connString="provider=sqloledb;Data Source=SERVER_NAME;User Id=USER_ID;Password=PASSWORD;Initial Catalog=DB_NAME"
'
' EXAMPLE : DSN-less connection for MS Access

Connection String

Apr 28, 2006

I have been trying to get a connection string to work with an OLEDB provider. I beleive the format of the string I was given is not correct. Here is a copy of the code. The string starts with quation marks but does not end with same. If I add the quotation marks I get an error. I have checked the string and it does not show the password included.

Dim rstSource As Object
Dim rstTarget As Recordset
Dim Datapath As String
Dim DataSelector As String
Dim Connection As Object

ClearCustomers (True)

Set rstTarget = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Profile", dbOpenDynaset)

Datapath = "C:SOFTRAKOLWINSamdataDATA"
DataSelector = "FTC"
AdagioUserID = "SYS"
AdagioPassword = "SYS"

Set Connection = CreateObject("adodb.connection")
Connection.Provider = "ADSDB.Provider"
Connection.ConnectionString = "Password=" & AdagioPassword & ";User ID=" & AdagioUserID & ";Data Source=" & Datapath$ & "" & "DATA." & DataSelector$
Connection.Open
Debug.Print Connection.ConnectionString
Set rstSource = Connection.Execute("@R65ACST")

Debug result
