I am a fresher in using SQL with access.
I am using a code in Ms access to link a table that is in Sql express 2005.
I use this linked table name to download records to the local Access table.
The link is then dropped in Access.
Is there any way to write back records into the linked Sql table from Access.
It does not allow me to delete / add / modify records of a linked table.
How can I do this.
Thanks

Hi all,
I have SQL Server 2005 Express running and I am creating a database through access (Access 2003 SP2) and no problem it creates the database...
But when I try to create other objects like views and database diagrams, I get the message below which is quite detailed but I just don't know where to get the service packs or updates needed to have this problem solved. Can anyone point out what the problem and the fixes are?
Here is the message that I get:
"This version of MS Office Access doesn't support design changes with the version of MS SQL Server
your access project is connected to. See MS Office Update Website for the latest information and
downloads (on the Help menu, click Office on the Web). YOur design changes will not be saved.
You have connected to a version of SQL server later than SQL Server 2000. This version of Visual Studio
or Access that you are using was released before teh version of SQL Server to which you are connected.
For this reason you might encounter problems.
Please check with MS to see if there is a service pack that you should apply to Visual Studio or Office
in order to get support for the version of SQL Server to which you are connected.
You can continue but any new object types might not be enumerated, and it will not be possible to
save any objects or database diagrams thatyou create using the Visual Database Tools."
Thanks
I upgraded an Access 2003 database to SQL Server 2005 Express with the upsize wizard- worked great! Have a field that needs to be a hyperlink data type. There is no datatype in SQL that is hyperlink. Even if it were a text field, possibly inserting a hyperlink would work, but the insert hyplink in Access is unavailable, because the datasource is sql, maybe. I have a command button that ties to this function which won't work, obviously since it is not available. I need this field, it points to a file containing data that is being imported into the database. Huge piece of the database functionality. Making it easy for the user to find the file and using the vba to convert the data.
Saw the option of jump to url, but I don't think that will work? couldn't find the exact syntax either.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I have an Access 2003 project (sp2) and the data in SQL Server 2005 Express.
My problem is when I try to make querys, diagrams, etc in Access, a warning tell me that I have installed a version of Access that is older than the version of SQL and all the designs that I make not be saved, and recommend a service pack for Access 2003 to correct the problem.
Can anybody help me, where is this SP??
Hello,
after successfully connect Access to the Server I want to add a table. I got an error message:
With this version of MS Office Access you are not able to make any drafts because this version of SQL server you are connected to does not support this. Check the MS Office update website for the newest downloads.
You habe connected to a version of SQL server which is newer than SQL server 2000.
Versions:
SQL Server runs on a MS Server 2003 SP1
Access 2003 (11.6566.6568 SP2) on an MS XP Pro SP1
all on actual patch level. Any ideas what's wrong?

Hi,
I've just installed SQL Server 2005 Express Advanced and I haven't found a way to import Microsoft Access 2003 files. Is there a way to do it?
Thanks in advance,

Is there a way to integrate Access 2003 as the Front End for SQL Express?
I tried, but I can't make a new Access project because I need to specify a login/pass and I have no idea what those are set to, or if I need to make an account somehow.
As you can see, I am totally new to SQL and any help would be appreciated.
Thank You,

Does anybody know if there is and update for access 2003 which could make it compatible with SQLServer Express. Actually XML Field are not supported, Diagram too, and surely much more.
Any help would be appreciate.
I recently started developing a new Access project for a client, and decided to try out Access 2003 with SQL Express 2005. Everything was going fine until I tried to modify a table from within Access. I got an error message that SQL Express is incompatible with Access 2003, and it suggested I go to the Microsoft website and search for a patch/upgrade to solve this.
I tried to ignore it, and it started warning me that none of my table edits would be saved.
I looked around, but I can't find anything about this.
Is this true? Is there a patch to fix this?
How can make link to a table stored in an sql express 2005 database in access 2003 ? the classic method doesen't work. i tried to use odbc databases as file type to link, then build a data source using SQL native clint driver, but in the combo for default database i don't have the database created before, only master,msdb, model, tempdb. If i try to use the attach database filename text box i receive an error "the datadase entered is not valid". Any suggestions ?
Thx
Access 2003 Data exported to SQL Express , great.
How do I then link the tables to the new database, I only seem to be able to link to system tables etc ??
Any ideas ?
Hi
I have conntected an Access 2003 project to a database in SQL Express and when I try to create a new view or stired procedure I get the message
This version of Microsoft Access doesn't support design changes with the version of Microsoft SQL Server your project is connected to. See the Microsoft Office Update Web site for the latest information and downloads (on the Help menu, click Office on the Web). Your design changes will not be saved.
Is it a limitation or have I not got the appropriate permissions set up
And if it is a limitation does it matter

Is it possible to upsize an Access 2003 database to SQL Server Express without actually installing Access 2003 on my server....I would prefer to not have to do that. Currently, I only have the Access mdb file on the server...it is the backend to my ASP application. Can I download and run the Upsizing Wizard on it's own?
Thanks in advance,
Kris.

I am trying to connect through ODBC connectivity, but it will not allow me to do so. I have investigated this matter. It leads me back to the server, because as I was configuring my client side database. It kept asking for the DSN(datasource name), but I was unable to choose one because there wasn't one to choose. Which is my current dilemma, How can I do this and have it available to choose from the server to satisfy the Access database?
I went to the domain where the software resides but I don't know what steps to take? I also found an interesting piece on microsoft about Kerberos, but I can't follow along according to the instructions it has. I have Access 2003 & SQL SERVER 2005, HELP...!
Basically, this is right off the heels of the install. I setup the server without the connectivity, but it is running the current configuration.
Is there a patch available for Access 2003 that will allow it to interoperate fully with SQL 2005?

I continue to receive an error that states "The version of Microsoft Access doesn't support design changes with the version of Microsoft SQL Server your Access project is connected to. See the Microsoft update website for the latest information."
I'm using Access 2003 that I ran a database through the Upzinging Wizard with a copy of SQL Server 2005.
I have searched the Office Update pages and can't locate anything that helps, although I'm sure I'm probably missing something.
Any suggestions?

In my office, we offer support for applications developed in Access 2003 in a SQL Server 2000 environment, for some of our clients.
In one PC we have installed MsOffice 2003 and recently installed SQL Server 2005 personal edition, but now we have a problem because there is a compatibility problem between them. We need some upgrade for Access to avoid it, but can't find it.
Can We fix this problem, maintainning Access 2003 and SQL Server 2005 personal edition and maintainning the support for our clients?
Notice that our clients can't upgrade, in the short time.
I would really like to be using SQLServer Express 2005 for some desktop database applications and replace MSDE. However, I am using VS.NET 2003 and so far I have not been able to discover if that combination will work.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have an Access 2003 front end that contains a number of linked tables on SQL Server 2005 SE. I recreated the application on a second network for testing and was able to use the Linked Table Manager to refresh the database connections. The problem is when I try and add another linked table. I select Link Tables from the menu and then when I select 'ODBC Databases()' from the 'Files of Type' list box, the Link window closes right away.
Any suggestions?
I have a customer using a web app where the data is drawn from a database in SQL Server 2005.
In addition to its normal tables, the database has two lookup tables which are deleted, recreated, and repopulated once a week. The data for these two tables comes from two queries in an Access database which essentially turn many related tables into two flat tables.
I know this can be done with SSIS, I've done it, I suppose it could be done witth SSMA for Access, but could this operation be done with a stored prodecure ? Most steps would not be a problems. They would be:
- Drop the two tables in SQL Server (no problem)
- Recreate them (no problem, maybe better to just delete all existing records, either way)
- Connect to the query in the Access database (here is where I have questions)
- Simply do an INSERT from the Access query to the SQL table.
So my question is whether we can connect to an Acess query from a stored proc, I suppose using ODBC.
Can this be done? If so how? Are there any papers on this topic?
Msny thanks,
Mike Thomas
Kind of a weird problem. Just migrated some Access tables to SQL 2005 backend. This is only happening on one users machine, WinXP and Access 2003 with the linked tables to SQL 2005. When they try to run a query that has a date criteria, Access will crash. Any other type of criteria, the query works fine. Things I have tried:
1) Installing Office Service Pack 3
2) Repairing Office 2003
Thanks.
I am just starting to work with Visual Studio and SQL. I have Visual Studion 2003 with .net Framework 1.1. I want to download the SQL 2005 Express version and it requires the upgrade to .NET Framework 2.0
Will this affect my Visual Studio 2003? And can I use SQL 2005 with Visual Studio 2003?
Any help would be appreciated.

I upsized an Access 2003 database to SQL Server Express Edition 2005, and have converted all tables, queries, reports and macros successfully so far. The snag I'm running into involves using macros embedded in buttons on certain forms using Access as the frontend.
With these forms, the idea is to navigate to a certain record, and hit a button to bring up a print preview view of a report. Based on the record you're looking at in the form, it should check against the data in the table to which it refers, and pull up a single record in the report.
In access as a standalone, using the OpenReport command, the code was as follows:
[MRB Report Data]![MRB Report Number]=[Forms]![MRB Data Input]![MRB Report Number]
MRB Report Data is the table containing data, and MRB Report Number is the primary key (autonumber). MRB Data Input is the form in question, and the second MRB Report Number is the control field that references back to the MRB Data Input table.
When I try to run this using Access as a frontend, an error occurs at the first '!' - is there a different syntax I need to specify to reference a form in this case?
Thanx in advance.
we have run access 2003 application using SQL 2005 server
and the data transfer rate is extreamly slow.
we are using ODBC connection
and the access apllication works very fast with SQL 2000.
we have the tested the comptabilty of the application to SQL 2005 with Microsoft wizard and it had no problems.
even when i run simple application on the sql 2005 server, it runs very slowly.
i am using the MDAC clients ODBC component and the SQL Native Clients one.
which eliminates the possibilty of network problem.
what could be the problem???
I initially created an Access application within Access 2003 which I subsequently migrated to SQLExpress 2005 (Tables only) using Microsoft SQL Migration Assistance for Access 2003 (SSMAA) and continue to use Access 2003 as a front end, this really was easy and worked perfect. Now I added a new table to my SQLExpress DB and need to link to it from my Access application but can not find a way to do so in the same way that the SSMAA does. I need to run the Access 2003 application in share mode from multiple PC in the LAN. If I try linking to the table using an ODBC connection I can only access from the PC where the link was done! Any ideas? THanks in advance.

Hi,
How do I connect to Sql Server 2005 express from Visual Basic. Net 2003 ?

I have been experiencing troubles since I was decided to install SQL Server Expr 2005 in my PC, first I needed to remove the .NET framework 1.1 in my computer because it is suggested before installing sql server expr 2k5 that cause my vs.net 2003 to stop loading because sql express runs in .NET framework 2.0 and vs.net 2003 is in .Net Framework 1.1 then what I did is to install .Net Framework 1.1 in my PC together with .Net Framework 2.0 and my vs.net started runnning again.
My problem now is when I try to connect to a database using Data Link Properties in the Server Explorer it says "[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen](Connect()).]Sql server does not exist or access denied." how could this happen if I can see the sql server in the Server Explorer in my VS.net environment?
Please somebody help me I am just learning to this language and I think I cannot proceed to the next few chapters remaining because of this.
Thank you very much!
