Accessing A Microsoft Access Database From Within Visual C++
Aug 14, 2006
Hi there guys, I am currently trying to achieve a seemingly simple task in VC++ 2005. I have made a very simple form in Microsoft Access which I wish to serve as the beginnings of something greater. I created a db in MS Access named links.mdb containing on table-> Table1. Table1 contains 1 column, "Links", and i wish to read these strings into variables in my Visual C++ Windows Forms Application.
What I have done so far...
In Visual C++, I clicked on Data->Add new data source, and followed the wizard to add the microsoft access database to my application by the name, "linksDataSet". I can see the table in my left hand "Data Sources" pane in VC++. All I need to know is how to access my database from here so that I can read these strings stored in my table. Also, would be possible to schedule my application to log on to a http server and retrieve these links every time the application is executed? How would I go about doing this?
I created an SQL database in Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition and would like to edit it in SQL Server Management Studio Express. The only databases listed in the Object Explorer of SQL Server MSE are the system databases (ones that are part of the SQL Server MSE). If I dig through the directories, I can locate my database under the Visual Studio directory, but I am unable to open it. I get an error message stating, "There is no editor available for [my database]... Make sure the application for the file type (.mdf) is installed." I'm sure that this is a ridiculously simple rookie mistake that I'm committing somehow, but I'm stumped. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
I have a query of the kind brains of this group.Is it possible to access a microsoft sqlserver database (for select, insert,update, delete, and for miscellaneous administrative actions such as tableand index creation and deletion) remotely from a compiled C program (and/or,from Perl) running on a NON microsoft platform, such as Sun's Solaris and/orLinux?What toolset(s) could be used (on the UNIX/Linux end) for such a purpose?Would it require a corresponding special toolset to be installed on theWindows server end as well? (I'd prefer not to have to do that ifpossible.)If you are not now rolling on the floor laughing at the "heresy" of such anotion, thanks in advance.DanJoin Bytes! (replace 'glowing' with 'lucent')
I have a query that executes just fine except that it won't recognize varchar(255) ( or any other value within the () ) and if I leave it off like this: varchar, then it executes but it leaves that value as 1 and that is just not very useful for my purposes. This also happens with anything else that requires () to add length such as char(), or nvarchar(), etc... Any ideas?
Hello,the following problem:I use Delphi 6 to access a MS Access Database.In short, the Delphi Code looks like this:ADOConnection1.Open;ADOQuery1.Close;ADOQuery1.SQL.Text := 'SELECT * FROM database1 WHEREvalue1=1 AND value2= ' + inttostr(array[3]);ADOQuery1.Open;Label5.Caption:=ADOQuery1.Fiel*dByName('value4').A sString;Now I only want to select these rows, where the Integer value3 ends on1. So I need the Modulo-Function. I found in the Internet these twofunctions:MOD(x,y) und x % yBut I get an error if I want to use one.For example, If I changeADOQuery1.SQL.Text := 'SELECT * FROM database1 WHEREvalue1=1 AND value2= ' + inttostr(array[3])+' AND MOD(value3,10) = 1;Delphi shows me a Syntax Error in this statement.Thx for help!
I'm a relative newbie to SQL Server so pardon me if this is dumb. However....
Microsoft provides a visual database tool for designing a query. The only way I know of firing up this utility is from EM. To get to it you must drill down to the table level and say "Open Table...Query" to get to it. Is there an easier way to get to this? Or am I missing something? Doesn't it make sense that when you are in Query Analyzer that you should be able to easily go into the Visual Query Designer since that's all your doing in QA is designing queries??? A toolbar button would be nice. Maybe I haven't worked with it enough and there is a way. Any help is appreciated. -Mike
I have MS-Access as data source for one of the reports. I can preview the report fine from BI studio however, it does not work when I deploy it on report server.
The error is :
An error has occurred during report processing. Cannot create a connection to data source '<data source name>'.
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '<UNC location of the MS-Access database>'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
MS-Access database is located on a different server.
Any help to solve this? I understand it has something to do with permission both on server where reporting service is running as well as the server where MS-access database is located. Pls help.
Today we are very pleased to announce the RTW release of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Access Database Synchronizer (ADS) for which many of you been waiting eagerly.
Access Database Synchronizer provides a way to synchronize data between Microsoft Access database on a desktop and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition database on a device.
The salient features of this solution are summarized below Ø Provides a synchronization solution between SQL Mobile/SSCE and MS Access. Data conversion is done while synchronizing the data. Ø Synchronization happens when there is an active ActiveSync connection between the device and the desktop. Ø There is no update to SQL Mobile/SSCE on the device. The solution consists of only of desktop side component which works with the existing client agent on the device. Ø The solution is based on existing RDA replication model. Programming model is exactly the same as RDA today. Ø Device applications written today do not need to be updated if the solution is upsized from access to SQL Server. Ø There is no conflict detection/resolution.
The setup installs the desktop component required for synchronizing Microsoft Access database with SQL Server Compact Edition database on the device. It also includes a readme file which has the documentation for the solution and a sample application. The readme file can be downloaded separately. The sample application shows how the solution works and how to write applications for this solution. The components installed on the desktop can be used by third party applications to provide data synchronization between Microsoft Access database on the desktop and SQL Server Compact/SQL Mobile database on the device.
On a desktop, the following operating systems will be supported: Ø Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2 Ø Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP2 Ø Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 with Windows XP MCE 2005 Update Rollup 2installed. Ø Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition SP2 Ø Microsoft Windows Vista (Only Windows Mobile 6.0 devices are supported)
On devices, the following operating systems will be supported: Ø Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Ø Windows CE 4.2 Ø Windows CE 5.0 Ø Windows Mobile 5.0 Ø Windows Mobile 6.0
The following versions of Microsoft Access will be supported: Ø Microsoft Access 2000 SP3 (Microsoft Office 2000) Ø Microsoft Access 2002 SP3 (Microsoft Office 2002) Ø Microsoft Office Access 2003 SP2 (Microsoft Office 2003) Ø Microsoft Office Access 2007
This solution will work with all installations for SQL Server Mobile Edition/SQL Server Compact Edition on devices. The sample application provided is supported only on Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC edition.

Someone please help, Ive downloaded and instsalled Microsoft Access Database Synchronizer (ADS) RTW onto my desktop and the files have installed to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server Compact Editionv3.1SyncAccess. Ive got a device running windows CE 5.0 connected to the desktop via USB. Ive installed all the necessary CAB files onto the device but how do I get the ADS working? What do I have to do with the files installed? I am fairly new to this so can someone please help me. Isnt there supose to be an option in the start menu to run the wizard, i don't seem to be getting this?
I have microsoft access database. I want to use this database as source of SSIS transformation. I have a data flow task which I want to get executed in Transaction with TransactionOption as "Required".
I tried using OLEDB datasource which uses oledb connection. I also tried using ADO.NET connection type with DataReader DataSource.
But in all cases at run time, it fires an error message as follows: [DataReader Source [1]] Error: System.InvalidOperationException: The ITransactionLocal interface is not supported by the 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider. Local transactions are unavailable with the current provider. at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionInternal.EnlistTransactionInternal(Transaction transaction, Boolean forcedAutomatic) at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionInternal.EnlistTransaction(Transaction transaction) at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.EnlistTransaction(Transaction transaction) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.ManagedHelper.GetManagedConnection(String assemblyQualifiedName, String connStr, Object transaction) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.IDTSConnectionManager90.AcquireConnection(Object pTransaction) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.DataReaderSourceAdapter.AcquireConnections(Object transaction) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ManagedComponentHost.HostAcquireConnections(IDTSManagedComponentWrapper90 wrapper, Object transaction)
If I remove the transaction, the data flow task works perfectly fine. Please suggest What mistake I am doing while connecting to MS Access database in side transaction??
The same mentioned configuration WITH TRANSACTION works perfectly fine for SQL Server AS SOURCE. Am I missing some very obvious thing?? Please suggest.
Hi All, I have recently moved jobs. From my last job I created a holiday database for the organisation, than I copied it on a storage device. Now, in my new job I would like to use same database. But the problem is most of the tables were linked. I know I can convert linked tables to local tables and I have tried it but it asks me for the new location with the same table names. Can some one please helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp I as I am really very desperate.
SQL Database in my application with windows authentication rejects accessing after deploying and remote access 1- My web applications databese access is windows authentication 2- In developing area there is no problem for accessing database 3- After deploying to another server there is problem accessing database: Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'BRCK231ASPNET'. How can I solve this problem? Thanks.
I want to use SQL Server to query an Access Database with about 40,000 rows of data. If possible, I don't want to upsize the database because others need acess to it in the ACC97 format. Is there a way to use ODBC to connect to the ACC97 database so that I can use the SQL query capability of SQL server to query the database.
I know access allows you to write some SQL queries but I need the power of the SQL server and now it is a matter of curiosity because I've been searching for this answer for about 8 hours.
- Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition - Client Service for Netware installed. - Access 2000 database in a Novell Directory Services (NDS) Environment - SQL Server service running under local Administrator account.
Linked server configured as follow:
Linked server: MyDB Provider: Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider Product name: Access 2000 Data Source: UNC path to my Access database
Security: Admin with no password (default Access behaviour)
I can connect to my access database by following the next steps:
- Open Management studio on the SQL Server itself (where I'm logged in as Administrator) - Connect using Windows Authentication (Administrator) - Create a new query, run EXEC sp_tables_ex 'MyDB'
This will return all the tables from the Access database.
I can also make a view pointing to MyDB...MyTable.
Enough prove to me It can work....
So far so good
But now the tricky part.
When I login as 'sa', I can't connect and will receive the following message:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "MyDB" returned message "'Full UNC to my access database' 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.".Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 41Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "MyDB".
(In real life I want to connect to my SQL 2005 Server from a ASP.NET (2.0) application using SQL authentication, but as long as I can't get the above working this is not important for now)
I'm struggeling for more than a week now with this problem, without a finding the solution.
I have two databases, MS Access and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Using a procedure in Visual Studio i would like to copy all the records from one table in MS Access into an existing table in SQL Server (the tables have the same name and the same layout)
I tried to prepare one Dataset to copy from Access into SQL Server but when i run the command 'DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella") nothing happens (not even an exeption has been raised), looking during debug, the DataSet seems filled though...
Please could anyone explain what's wrong and / or is there a more quicker way to copy data from a table to another?
Note i woul have as a final goal to get data from an AS400 database by ODBC, manage it, and put it on SQL Server for a 'data mining' scope (eliminating the use of MS Access, not suited for FE-BE).
the procedure goes like this;
' Create a connection to the MS Access Database Dim connectionToAccess As New OleDbConnection(DBConnectionAccString) strsql = "SELECT * FROM [TABELLA]" connectionToAccess.Open() Dim DaAccess As New OleDbDataAdapter(strsql, connectionToAccess)
Dim DsAccess As New DataSet("ACCESS") DaAccess.FillSchema(DsAccess, SchemaType.Source, "Tabella") DaAccess.Fill(DsAccess, "Tabella")
' Create a connection to the SQL Database Dim connectionToSQL As New SqlConnection(DBConnectionSQLString) connectionToSQL.Open() Dim DaSQL As New SqlDataAdapter(strsql, connectionToSQL)
Dim DsSQL As New DataSet("SQL") DaSQL.FillSchema(DsSQL, SchemaType.Source, "Tabella") DaSQL.Fill(DsAccess, "Tabella")

Hi all,I have an existing application that checks a few things before itlaunches another application. One thing that the application needs tocheck is the subscription properties of both the local database and theremote (LAN) server.I've stumbled upon some properties but I am trying to fit in the lastones and I can't seem to find the right code to accomplish this... Cananyone shine a little light on this please ?The following code queries the SQL Server (remote) to get (some of) theproperties of the replicated database. What I would like to fit inafter the 'state' are the properties that you can retrieve with theEnumAllSubscriptions function. However, I can't seem to find the rightobject (sample code) to retrieve those (or I'm just overlooking theobvious)...Here is (part of) the code I'm using to query the publication on theremote server :Dim oMergePublication As SQLDMO.MergePublication2Dim oSubscription As SQLDMO.MergeSubscription2Me.lstPublications.ClearFor Each oReplicationDatabase InobjSQLSERVER.Replication.ReplicationDatabasesIf oReplicationDatabase.Name = Me.txtSQLServerDatabase.TextThenFor Each oMergePublication InoReplicationDatabase.MergePublicationsbFoundReplicated = TrueMe.lstPublications.AddItem "Database replicated as'" & oMergePublication.Name & "'"For Each oSubscription InoMergePublication.MergeSubscriptionsMe.lstPublications.AddItem " - subscriber:" & oSubscription.SubscriberMe.lstPublications.AddItem " - localDB :" & oSubscription.SubscriptionDBMe.lstPublications.AddItem " -state :" & GetReplStatus(oSubscription.Status)NextNext'For Each osubscriber In oReplicationDatabase.'NextEnd IfNextSet oReplicationDatabase = NothingSet oMergePublication = NothingAfter this, I also want to check the local DB (=pulled subscription)and show some of the properties (from EnumAllSubscriptions). Forexample to warn the user about the need to synchronise (last_updatedvalue)...Any help appreciated,Many thanksGB--Your eyes are weary from staring at the CRT. You feel sleepy.

I have a report that accessed a Visual FoxPro 6.0 database via ODBC. Since I upgraded to Visual FoxPro 9.0, now I am getting the error:
Query Server Error DMS-E-RBI_TABLE The table or view <table name> was not found in the dictionary
I've verified that the right path is setup and I've tried installing about every driver and none of them are working. I created a new database in 9.0 and the I can access it fine. Also, there are old tables that are accessible in the same path, just not the ones I need. Any ideas would be helpful..
Hello, What permissions do I need to set on our new SQL Server 2005 test server so that I can see the stored procedures, views and tables from Visual Studio development environment.
Example, I can see my older SQL Server 7 tables, edit them, write stored procedures, and so on. But while I can see the SQL Server 2005 and its databases, the folder underneath are empty and I cannot right-click to create New stored procedure or table.
My guess is that there is security involved, if so, what do I set on the new server? If I'm wrong, and it's something else entirely, please advise.
I am having issues with sql commands. I have 2 tables joined that shows me set sales and equipment sold to customers. Now my issue is I dont want all the customers showing. Their is a field that is types of sales (aka on rent, reserved). When I do a querie it shows all cust for all types of sales. What would the command and how would it look. I thought about it and i figured I should use a If cust type sale is = to on rent and reserved then show cust name. The next thing is I dont want this to be the primary filter and it should only be a filter for cust name and not affect the results of the info already gathered. any help would be great thanks.
I am new to all SQL Related. I am trying to create a datasource to our old database we used in the company to write reports on the data. when I create a new data source and enter all required info, when testing the connection, i get a reply that I do not have the necessary permissions to use this object, although my account is specified as an administrator? can somebody please explain this to me.
Im quite interested to see if any one is using Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro 9.0 in an SSIS package. Is it possible to use this for free table directory like you can with the ODBC driver. ????
thanks kindly
My basic proccess is as follows: The source foxpro database has hundreds of dbf files ---the SSIS procress is as follows
1: Copy only required dbf files and/or matching .fpt files over to local drive on SSIS box(we only need 10 files)
use MS Visual Foxpro ODBC driver (free table option) and set up a system DSN--dataflow tab---datareader source--and away you go
I get this message in a balloon that pops up frequently when I am trying to work in the SSIS designer. For example, I get it when working in a DataFlow task, trying to open editors for the OleDb Source and Destination. Is anyone else getting this? What could be the cause, it seems to get sluggish. Thanks.

I'm creating a new Integration Services Project that copies data out of a SQL 7 server, transforms it, and places the data on a SQL 2005 (SP 2) Server. When defining a lookup transformation, if I specify an OLE DB Connection to my server running SQL 7 as the reference table, as soon as I click on the Colums tab, Visual Studio closes / crashes and dumps me to windows. I don't get an error message. If however I specify a connection to a server running SQL 8, or SQL 2005, no problems.
Is this supposed to happen?
My workstation is running Windows XP Pro SP2, Visual Studio 2005 Pro.
Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer Version 9.00.1399.00
The server that doesn't work for a reference table is running Windows 2000 Server SP4 SQL 7.00.623
How do you define a JDBC datasource in Microsoft Visual Studio? I am using Microsoft Visual Studio to develop reports for SSRS and would like to connect to DB2 via JDBC. Attempting to use the SQL JDBC install as a example, I don't see how to define the SQL JDBC driver to Visual Studio. The SQL JDBC runtime install is very clear, but I don't see how to use this type of datasource in Visual Studio.
I am struggling with a really ugly problem in SSIS.
I am designing SSIS package where I have a couple of Script tasks. Let's call them Script Task 1 and Script Task 2. Everything was working fine until this morning I added another Script taks (Script Task 3), which was trying to do some rudementary file manipulation. At that point I started getting this message:
"Microsoft Visual Sutdio for Applications has lost the link to .
Your work will be exported to c:documents and settings".
This is it! "lost a link to "dot". After this, the VS environment continues to run in debug mode, so it doesn't even crash stirctly speaking. I can stop debugging and continue developing, but nothing would run anymore and I would keep getting the same error. Moreover, after removing Script Task 3 (which seems to be the culprit), I would still keep getting the same error! Only removing all the script tasks completely and then adding them back gets the package to run again.
I'm in a SSIS Package Design tab working on a data flow. It was working fine up to now, but all of a sudden I keep getting this error that says, "Microsoft Visual Studio has encountered a problem and needs to close." And it has that "Send Error Report" and "Don't Send" button at the bottom. This started happening when I tried to add a Data Viewer on a Data Flow Path. And now every time I do this to try to debug my data flow, it gives me this message and closes my project.
However, the package executes without any package errors, but I as I described above, I can't add a Data Viewer because it keeps giving me this message and closing my package.
I have around 160 packages in SSIS. When i run these packages, after some times the errror comes that the system is low on virtual memory and then visual studio freezes. I have a machine with 1G memory. All these packages are not running parallely but they have some dependencies defined on them.
Please let me know if theres some way to configure it correctly,
I have created one Custom Task in SSIS. Basically I have one solution and 2 class library project one for Task and one for UserInterface when i try to drag new task from tool box it says following errror =================================== Failed to create the task.
