I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post this question but thought I would start here.
I have an Access link to live SQL data. We have since migrated to a new physical server and new logical server name.
My question then is, how can I edit the pre-existing Access link to the live SQL data/database and make changes so that the new server is taken into consideration?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I am getting an error trying to select data from a Linked Server that is connected to a secured MS Access database. I have entered the login and password for an admin in the sytem but I am still getting the error below. It seems that all of the examples shown on the Online help are for unsecured databases. Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks

I have upsized an Access database into SQL Server and manged to getthe data in place ok. The wizard created an Access Project which Ihave started to modify.However, I am also trying to get data from an AS/400. Specifically fora currency/exchange rate file. I only want ot copy the records sincethe last copy otherwise there are a vast number of records.I have created a linked server to the AS/400 within SQL Server, andcreated a view, within my specific database which allows me to look atall the data in the table.However, my problem is that I want a VB routine, in the AccessProject, which lets me copy out specic records from the view into atable within the SQL Server database. Any clues?????My oroginal code used a link to the AS/400 and the folowing code:-s = "INSERT into zacjdf00 "s = s + "select CJCNCD, CJD5E9, CJCUCD, CJD5FF, CJD5FG, CJD5FH,CJD5FI, CJD5FJ, CJD5FK "s = s + "from XGHLDTM_ZACJDF00 "s = s + "where "s = s + "CJD5E9 = '" & group & "'"DoCmd.RunSQL (s)group is preset in the VB code.

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.
Thanks in advance.
When trying to link to an SQL table in Access 2003, the software appears to be malfunctioning.
The sequence of events is File - Get External Data - Link Tables - Files of Type: ODBC Databases().
The Problem: On two of my computers, the select data source window does not pop up, preventing me from linking to any ODBC data source.
Observations: This function has worked normally in the recent past and works on other computers running Access 2003. One difference between the computers working and non-working computers is Norton Antivirus 2006 (recent upgrade).
Has anyone experienced anything like this? What's going on?
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 have a problem that I want to solve by linking MS Access to SQL Server 2000 or 2005.
The problem is a 3 party MS Access '97 application that is no longer supported so a new system is currently being built in SQL Server. The Access database has a UI for small amounts of input and viewing but most of the work is done through a WaveLink application. The Wavelink application allows users on the shop floor via wireless devices to pick and count product which then updates Access. There has always been record locking issues that caused some delays at the wireless devices but nothing dramatic. Until now. The wireless network and wireless devices have been upgraded and now record locking (I presume that whats causing the problems) is now causing large productivity delays requiring constant intervention.
The Wavelink application is also being updated from VB6 to VB.Net to work with the new SQL Server application. One of the requests from the client is that the Wavelink upgrade somehow fix the problem with the Access database.
My idea was to link the Access database to a SQL Server so that the wireless devices go through SQL Server to Access hopefully taking the load off Access. Is this possible? Would SQL Server prevent the record locks and provide a better multi user environment or is that something that is inherent in OLEDB Jet and linking is not going to circumvent this problem?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I have recently migrated from Access to SQL Server. I have come across a strange problem. I have got a table in my database whihc is not linked to any other table, but does include data and is used from time to time for reports. It is more used as a sort of lookup table. Now I had the frontend in Access and I have retained it. So I connect all the SQL Server tables via ODBC to Access. The problem with this table is for some reason it wont allow to add new records on Access side. You can just view the contents, but cannot add anything to it e.g a new record, etc. I tried giving explicit permissions of Select, Insert, update, etc. but still no result. There are other look up tables as well, that have the same problem. Can anybody tell me why this is so and is there any way to fix it?

I'm trying to find how to link to an Access table from within SQL Server. I know I have seen it once, but can not remember where I saw it. I'm using SQL Server 2005. TIA,
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn SQL 2008 R2, if we clone an environment including SQL server, the maintenance plans retain a connection string to the source/original server they got cloned from and are not editable. But, I was able to use a work around by editing them in BIDS and saving them back on the server. But now with 2014, I am facing two issues:
1.I still can edit the package to correct the server connection, with SSDT; but the option to save back to the server is not available any longer!
2.I used to be able to see all my plans under SSIS in 2008 R2 but not in 2014 now. Although, they are listed in SSMS!
Hi All
My manager told me to link SQL Server database tables to access so that he can access the tables in MSAccess to do his SQL queries.
I am thinking of linking server but I am not sure about that.
Is someone can tell me what to do and explain me how.
Thanks in advance

PLEASE HELP ME
I'm a pretty smart guy, but sometimes I end up feeling left behind with all of the terminology I don't recognize.
I am running XP Pro, Access 2003, and SQL Server 2005 express.
I want to set up a ODBC connection in Access to a table that has been created in an SQL Server 2005 Express Database.
I keep getting the message connection failed, SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Can somebody here please help me?
I have created an Access2003 project (existing data) that links to external data. First I connected to a SQL Server 2000 database. Success. Then I tried to set up a Transact SQL data connection to a legacy MDW-secured Access97 database. (A third-party VB6 application goes against it, and we don't have the source code, so we cannot upgrade it.)
The Transact SQL link tests OK but I cannot select any of the tables or queries from the list presented. However, with the same credentials, I can use these same objects in Excel 2003.
When setting up the link in Access2003, I specify JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider, I enter the MDW file on the All tab, a username and a password on the Connection tab where I browse to the MDB file, and specify Shared Deny None on the Advanced tab. When I test the connection, it tests OK ("Test connection succeeded"). Yet on the "Select the Database and Table/Cube which contains the data you want" dialog, "(Default)" appears in the grayed-out dropdown. Then, beneath that dropdown, there is a grid with Name and Description columns. The grid contains query names but the grid is not enabled. The list of queries is this table is grayed out. Neither of the scrollbars works.
BUT... if I use the SAME username and password in Excel2003, and specify the same MDW, there is no problem working with these same database objects in the legacy Access97 database. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE WIZARD IN EXCEL THAT ALLOWS IT TO SUCCEED AND THE WIZARD IN ACCESS THAT CAUSES IT TO FAIL HERE? In Excel, the list of available providers says Microsoft Access Driver, not JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
Thanks

Hi,SQL Server 2000 SP3Windos 2000 Server SP4I have a DTS package that imports data from a dBase IV databse withfiles located in two folders (dBF1 and dBF2). I use a transform datatask to transform the data.They were running properly, but last week we installed W2K SP4, andnow the transform task for files from dBF2 are not working properly.I have two tranform tasks to extract data from files in dBF2 folder.If I double click to open the transform data task of either of them,Enterprise Manager crashes with the errrormmc.exe applicatio ErrorThe instruction "xxxx" referenced memory at "xxx". The memory couldnot be read.Althoug the transform task for one of the files will run, the otherwill not run giving the messageError Source: DTS packageCatastrophic failureAlso, I have an Access database that has links to the same dBasefiles. For files from dBF2 folder, I'm able to see the data from oneof the files, but if I double click to see the data from the other,access crashes with no specific error message. Nothing has changed ondBase related files (permission wise).The transform tasks to extract data from the other dBase folder (dBF1)files are working fine, and data is accesible from Access.Any advice how to tackle this one?

If I define a table-valued function in a SQL Server 2005 database, can I link to it from Access 2003 using ODBC?
I've defined the function successfully, and I can link from Access to tables in the database (so my ODBC link is basically functioning), but I can't see the table-valued function in the Linked Table Manager in Access.
I can define a pass-through query to grab the table, but with a pass-through query I have to provide the ODBC password every time.
What am I missing?
Suggestions?

But it got access denide after I copy it to a job.

I am working from within an SQL database trying to get data from an MS Access Database as a linked server. I can "successfully" add the linked server, but when I try to open it from SQL EM I get "Error 7399. . . " from Microsoft Jet. When I try to query it from QA I get "Could not initialize data source object of OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'. [OLE/DB provider returned message: Not a valid account name or password.]"
I tried both Access 2000 databases and '97. Same results for each. Big project pending . . . any help is appreciated!

I work extensively with Access; I have a new project with very large tables (as many as 15 million records). Is it worth my while to link Access to SQL Express if both are on the same machine?
I've downloaded SQL Express and installed it, but it won't let me link to Access 2003. Is there an update or patch to Access 2003 that will make this work?
If I do make the link successfully, will it be transparent - that is, can I work in Access as I always have, or would I have to learn how to create databases and queries in SQL? (I do know that I can make tables in Access and migrate them to SQL Server).
Where would I find simple step-by-step instructions to do this - my interest is more in the substance of my data analysis than in programming per se.

Any tool, script, procedure, or otherwise that will solve this problem?
CREATE TABLE [Table 1] (
Id varchar,
TableTwoId varchar,
OtherData varchar )
CREATE TABLE [Table 2] (
Id varchar,
MoreData varchar )
What is the link between these two tables?
I have databases that have zero keys defined, no foreign key constraints, no unique value constraints. I cannot assume that an Identity column is the Id. The end game is be able to output that [Table 1].[TableTwoId] = [Table 2].[Id] but cannot assume that all linkage in the database will be as simple as saying "if the field name contains a table name + Id then it is the Id in that table."
Currently have written a script that will cycle through all columns and start identifying keys in singular tables based on the distinctness of the values in each column (i.e. Column1 is 99% distinct so is the unique value). It will also combine columns if the linkage is the combination of one or more columns from Table 1 = the same number of columns in Table 2. This takes a long time, and it somewhat unreliable as IDENTITY columns may seem to relate to one another when they don't.

Hello,
I think I may be going a little bit mad. Last week I created a database on SQL Server. I then created an access database on a different windows server, and set up an ODBC connection on that windows server to my database on SQL Server. I then set up linked tables within Access to point to my tables on the SQL Server. I'm fairly sure that I opened those links at the time and managed to display and update the data from Access. However I have come to this today and when I go into the Access database and attempt to open one of the links I get a connection failed message. When I check the ODBC connection on the windows server it is fine. Does anyone have any ideas on this? I really need this to be working by tomorrow to do a demo, and I'm so convinced it worked last week I am a little bemused!
Many many thanks in advance of your wonderful and prompt replies!!! :)

Anyone has any idea why I havethis problem?
I have a SQL 2K database on a named instance with tables populated with data and they have no relations between them.
I have a MS Access 2000 database.
I have a system ODBC connection on the client computer to the SQL 2K using trusted connection.
I linked the tables into MS Access 2000 to SQL 2K and I can read the data without any problem.
When I try to update the data on the table, I get the message : The recordset is not updatable.
I am the DBO. So I am supposed to have all rights. All the select, update, insert and DRI rights are enabled.
I tried it with another user and it does not work either.
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks
Each month we process 100+ text files into our ERP system. Occasionaly the Voucher Date in the text file does not contain a valid date. I would like to check to see if it is a valid Date, if it isn't replace it with the current date.
I thought I would use a Derived Column transformation, but I don't know how to check a field to see if it is a valid date.
Can anyone help?
