I have been using Access 2000 for quite some time and am trying move the application to use SQL Server 2005 Express. Is there any way to connect directly to an Access MDB using SQL Server 2005 Express, or can it only connect to an MDF?
View 3 RepliesI have an Access 97 database that I connect to a SQL Server 2000through ODBC. I have to manually set up the ODBC connection on eachuser's machine if I want them to be able to use the application though.Is there a way to store the connection string within the Access DB soI don't have to touch the ODBC settings on each user's machine? Or isthere a different solution that I'm missing? There are way too manyfor me tosetup. Thanks in advance.

I have been trying to connect to access database from SQL Server 7.0.
This machine is having 7.0 as a default instance and 2000 as a named instance.
Also the machine doesn't have access installed and Microsoft.Jet.4.0 is of version SP8 for Windows 2000
The access database is password protected.
I have tried all, OPENROWSET, OPENDATASOURCE, linked server, and ODBC.
These are some of the commands which I have tried but gives following error.

I have been tinkering with connections to SQL Server 2000 from Access 2000 for a couple of days without much luck.
My most recent attempt is the following code to the click event of a command button on a form. Most of this code was acquired from other places on the net.
Dim oConn As ADODB.Connection
Set oConn = New ADODB.Connection
oConn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;" & _
"Data Source=Hed001;" & _
"Initial Catalog=My_Views;" & _
"User Id=;vel007" & _
"Password=driver"
Dim oRS As ADODB.Recordset
Set oRS = New ADODB.Recordset
oRS.Open "Select * from VOrder_Header", oConn
Amazingly, it does not error out. But what do I do next to see the records in VOrder_Header?
Just a newb blazing at trail here in the unknown...
Is there any way that I can connect an Access 200? front end through .NET?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMost of our users are using MS Access project to work with our data in SQL Server 2005. The problem we have is that in order for them to access the tables they need to be given db_datareader and db_datawriter permission on the database. Our goal is not to give access to the tables themselves but to views. Therefore, we've created several views and placed them into a particular schema. Now we want to give access to that schema, but when we assign select, delete, insert, and update to that schema user in ms access project aren't able to view these tables. When we give them db_datareader permission they are able to see the views but in parentencies does not show the correct schema; therefore, when you try to open that view it errors out saying it doesn't exist. Also since they now have db_datareader they are also able to access the other view and tables in the database.
What we are looking to do is give our Access Project users the permission to link to SQL Server 2005 views by schema only.
Hi,
1)can someone help to explain these 2 lines of codes to me?
I need to change this 2 lines of code to my SQL 2000 database that is connected to my computer locally using Windows NT. How can i change these code?Thanks!
char *connectionString = "dsn=SPS;uid=sa;pwd=;";
hr=pRs->Open(queryString,connectionString,adOpenStatic,adLockOptimistic,adCmdUnknown);
From what i know this is connecting to an instance of the server using sa as login and no password. What does the dns refer to ?
2) If i wan to connect to a database located at the server installed on my computer locally using Windows NT authentication , do i use
"strConnection = _T("Driver={SQL Server};Server=MyServerName;"
"Trusted_Connection=no;"

Hello,
Only the server administrator user can connect to SSIS from remote workstations. All other users encounter "Access denied". What security settings are necessary to permit regular user access to SSIS? Firewalling is not an issue. SSIS is running and works fully for the server administrator user. All users can manage the Database with SSMS just fine; only SSIS cannot be accessed by regular users.

Hi all,
For a flexible import in our SQL database (SQL 2000 on a Windows 2003 server) we use OPENROWSET. In our development on a local instance of SQL Server, we have no problems with a connection to Accesss. However, when we deploy the same code with the same Access database to our test server we get an error indicating to use a Linked Server.
We set all neccessary parameters for allowing ad hoc queries and encounter no problems with queries to different SQL Servers and Oracle databases. Also, when we execute the query to the Access database on a local disk from a job, it works fine. Run the same query to an Access database on a fileshare from a job results in an error.
How come the OPENROWSET selection cannot be run from the query analyser or to an Access database on a fileshare? What security settings are blokking?
We use the following query:
SELECT top 10 *
FROM
OPENROWSET(
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'C:Testdata est.mdb';
'admin';'',Table1)
Thanks for all your help,

Hi, i need to build some way of connecting Oracle to SQL Server in order to pull data off Oracle and house it temporarily on SQL 2000 for searching.
Basically we've built an intranet using ASP and SQL 2000 and which also pulls data off Oracle, however our connection to Oracle is very slow so an idea to speed it up would be to have SQL store a temporary snapshot of this data and the ASP site query off the fast connection it has to SQL rather than use our slow connection to Oracle.
This temporary snapshot of Oracle data would be stored on SQL 2000 and updated on a scheduled basis.
Any ideas how to do this, or a better way to work this?
Thing is I tried installing the Official Oracle ODBC & Client software on our SQL 2000 server before and it just took out SQL 2000 so would really like to hear other options.
Thanks in advance,

Hello everyone I€™m trying to figure out a scenario, please help me out through your replies.
I have a server (ETL Server) ETL tool used is SQL Server Integration Services
And I have a source system with SQL Serve 2000 installed.
The problem I€™m facing in here is I€™m not able to get connect to my source system through connection manager.
I had developed few packages earlier but my source was oracle so I had installed oracle client in my ETL Server and got my source component connected to the source system.
Now I wanted to connect to sql sercer database in different server in network.
I would highly appreciate if you could help me out.
Thank you

ConnectionOpen (Connect())Some background:I have router/NAT firewall and have opened port 1433 (I have even tried a DMZ to the SQL Server machine). The Router is definitely going to the SQL Server PC! I am fairly certain that the connection string is correct.Any help would be most gratefully received.
View 7 Replies View RelatedAs a database developer, I have so many databases that I "own" scattered across various servers that it''s getting difficult to remember where all of my databases reside. It doesn't work that the DBAs have taken to some very hard to remember server naming conventions.
I was going to create aliases via the configuration manager, but it turns out the DBAs overwrite my entries each night with THEIR aliases and they won't add any for my use.
So I decided to simply add some records to my host file so that instead of having to connect to "SERVER-AD_DADF-DAFDASS" I can just use "CustomerA".
This solution seems to work until I tried to access a linked server. If I connect to the main server via it's actual name, I can hit the remote/linked server with no issue. However, if I connect to the main server using it's alias, connection to the remote/linked server fails with: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'.
The linked server is set up to use current security context and I'm not logging into the alias any differently that I do when using the actual server name.
First time I've tried doing this - I have SQL Server 2012 installed on my local machine with an instance running (which was set up under an administrator account, not mine, which has no admin rights), and I'm trying to create a linked table from Access (also on the local machine) to a table on the server.
I tried creating a DSN using Windows Authentication, using the server name which is the same as my computer name, and got the error "Error 18452, Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication".
I then created a SQL authentication user ID and password, and tried the same thing using that instead, and got "Login failed for user <myusername>"
Is there some particular setting on the local instance I need to change to allow this kind of connection, or do I need to use something other than the server name to connect, such as an IP address? Remember that I have no admin access on this machine so any solution would have to avoid requiring that.
HI All, forgive me but I am new to SQL Server.
My question is in 2 parts. THe first - Could anyone point me to a tutorial or give me a quick pointer? I want to View my Access 2003 datatables through Server MAngement Studio. I cannot however work this out or find articles on it. Is it possible? Are there any wlakthroughs?
The second Part - Eventually I want to create an SQL database, which is comprised of tables which use (point to) MS ACCESS as there datasource. An unchangeable existing piece of software uses Access as the UI, so I want to leave my data in access, and just set up some pointers from the SQL database tables to read in data from these access tables as when required.
Is that a clear question? Am I making any sense?? PLease let me know as I am scratching my head a lot at the moment!!
Cheers guys,
Anthony
I'm a long-time Access developer who is looking to migrate his approach to SQL Server CE 3.5 instead of having all these MDBs. One thing that I do like is using Access to surf through databases; it's a lightweight way to see the data without having to fire up the overhead of Visual Studio etc. Plus there's the QBE grid for easy query design for those of us whose tool-less SQL coding is a bit rusty...
Anyway, I was wondering whether it was possible to "attach" to a SSCE database so you can see it in Access. I've tried but haven't found a way of doing it. Any thoughts? Or is this an intentional lack of capability so we have to use a more robust tool such as Management Studio or Visual Studio?
Thanks in advance!

I recently had to reinstall a new instance of SQLServer 2000, but was unable to use the previous server name. As a result, my Access2000 front end is not happy with it's linked tables. I can't seem to find anyplace within Access to universally change the address of the SQLServer used as the back-end for all linked tables.
When I do try to access the linked tables through Access, I get an error, and the option to change the server location. When I try to type-in the new SQLServer location, there is an attempt to reconnect to SQLServer, but a whole lot of errors are generated, and none of the data is transferred into the Access table.
I really don't want to have to re-do my Access front end, so it seems it would be easiest to somehow reinstall SQLServer to have the same server location it used to. Is there a good way to completely erase all traces of SQLServer so that I can have better luck reinstalling it to the same location it used to be in? Just using the uninstall program from SQLServer doesn't seem to be cutting it.
Thanks!
I've created a small company database where the tables reside in a SQLServer database. I'm using Access 2000 forms for a front end.I've got a System DSN set-up to SQL Server and am using links withinAccess 2000 to get to the SQL Server tables.My forms worked fine until I made a few minor changes to the databaseschema on SQL Server (e.g. added a foreign key, or added a column).After that, all the links break - I click on a table link and get anerror msg like "invalid object name."Deleting the links after a schema change and re-adding the links seemedto fix the problem. The forms I'd already created seemed to work fineafter re-creating the links.But then I got more advanced with my forms. I have it set up so thatfor certain entry fields, the combobox gets populated with values froma table (the description appears in the drop-down and the correspondingprimary key value gets populated in the table). I created a number offorms using this technique, entered data, and everything worked fine.Made a small schema change and it broke everything -- not the actualtable links, but the functionality for the drop-downs. My values nolonger appeared, and this was true for forms that accessed tables whoseschemas did not change.This is driving me nuts. Is there any way to keep my forms frombreaking each time I make a small schema change?Thanks.- Dana
