I developed a database with Access 2003 and everything was working good until my tech came in and reformated my hard drive and install a new Ghost image that met our company standards.
Now I cannot go in and make any changes to any of the tables, queries and forms. All of this started when a new Ghost image was installed on my pc.
The message I get when I try to open my database is "You do not have permission to run "tblSwitchboard." I get the same error message when I try to do anything at all on the database.
I am at a loss as to what to do. Please help.

How to delete/drop all the tables from SQL Server Database without using Enterprise Manager?
I tried using DROP Tables, Truncate Database, Delete and many more but it is not working. I want to delete all tables using Query Analyzer, i.e. through SQL Query.Please help me out in this concern.Nishith Shah
The database has approx. 2500 temporary tables. The temp tables match a pattern such as APTMP... I tried deleting the tables in SSMS with the statement, Delete from Information_Schema.tables where substring(table_name,1,5) = 'APTMP' This returns the error message"Ad hoc updates to system catalogs are not allowed".
What is the correct way to delete a group of tables whose name match a pattern from within SSMS?
How would I be able to export all my sql server tables back to MS Access?

Hi, I have developed a software which is to run on multiple PCs on a network sharing the same database on an inhouse server. There is another database which has some similar tables that sites on a server where the website is. I need to have the common tables synchronized. How is this possible and what issues will I have in doing this?
Well there be a problem if the synchronization happens when someone is using our software which is making some changes to that table at the same time? Or if someone on the website is entering some information that updates the database?
I am using Visual Studio 2005 with C#. Access Database.
hi there,
we canīt open most of the sql server tables from our Access
project any more, which has to be related to collation or
extended property problems.
trying to open any table will result in the information
"The stored procedure has been executed but did not return
any records" after the first try
and later on nothing will happen any more; tables wonīt
open.
basically this started to happen after recreating the sql
database due to resolution 1 in Microsoft Knowledge Base
Article - 318989:
collation of the server is Latin1_General_CI_AS
collation of the old database was
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, which led to the error
described in the article.
collation of the new database is set to <Database
Standard>, now i have the problems described above.
anybody some good help on that?
ps: we canīt really rebuild the user database all the
time, because we got flight data in about 4 billion
records in there, so we will need anything quick and
easy...
thanks

Hey everyone. I've linke an access database and I am able to query the tables like so:
SELECT *
FROM QFinity...tblEmployees
I can do that to all the tables, however, I'd like to create a view to this linked database. Is this possible? I have a more complex query I'd like to run:
SELECT dbo_evaluations.eval_id, dbo_evaluations.quality_date, dbo_eval_questions.status
FROM QFinity...dbo_evaluations INNER JOIN dbo_eval_questions ON dbo_evaluations.eval_id = dbo_eval_questions.eval_id;
I get the error "Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'dbo_evaluations'."
I'm afraid I've reached the limit of my know how concerning sql server 2005... I think I read that I need to create a view? But I can't figure out how to do that.
Thanks for any help!

Is it possible to import an MS-Access database (or table) into a new SQL Server 2005 Express database? If so, how is it done?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am pretty new to SSIS, so please excuse me if this is a trivial question.
I have a denormalized database table in an Access database that I need to import into several different tables in a SQL 2005 database. You can think of the Access table as a CustomerOrders table. For example customer related information (i.e. CustomerName, CustomerID, etc...) is repeated with each record in the Access table. When this data gets moved to the SQL 2005 database, I need to insert one record for each distinct CustomerName/Customer ID record into a Customers table. I then need to insert and link every "Order" record into an "Orders" table.
I am sure that this is probably a pretty common task, but I have not found any examples or articles explaining this particular situation. What ways can this be done?
I was thinking I need to loop through each DISTINCT Customer record in the Access (source) table and insert a Customer record into the destination database's Customer table. I would then need to iterate through each row of the Access (source) table and "Lookup" the appropriate CustomerID/Key Field and insert an "Order" record.
The Access table contains over 75,000 rows of data. I am looking for the most appropriate way of doing this with SSIS (so that I don't have to write a custom application to do this!). Any help, input, links, articles, etc. is appreciated!!
TIA

I am trying to write one sql statement that deletes from two tables. Is it possible ? If yes, any thoughts ?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using Master Data Service for couple of months now. I can load, update, merge and soft delete data in MDS. Occasionally we even have to hard delete data from MDS. If we keep on soft deleting records in a MDS table eventually there will be huge number of soft deleted records. Is there an easy way to hard delete all the soft deleted records from all MDS tables in a specific Model.
View 18 Replies View RelatedI'm new to my company, although not new to SQL 2005 and I found something interesting. I don't have an ERD yet, and so I was asking a co-worker what table some data was in, they told me a table that is NOT in SQL Server 2005's list of tables, views or synonyms.
I thought that was strange, and so I searched over and over again and still I couldn't find it. Then I did a select statement the table that Access thinks exists and SQL Server does not show and to my shock, the select statement pulled in data!
So how did this happen? How can I find the object in SSMS folder listing of tables/views or whatever and what am I overlooking?
Thanks,

Access Connection
create a new Connection Manager by right-clicking in the Connection Managers section of the design area of the screen. Select New OLE DB Connection to bring up the Configure OLE DB Connection Manager dialog box. Click New to open the Connection Manager. In the Provider drop-down list, choose the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider and click OK.
Browse to the Access database file and connection set up---all good!!!
Dataflow task
Add an OLE DB Source component
Double-click the icon to open the OLE DB Source Editor. Set the OLE DB Connection Manager property to the Connection Manager that I created . Select Table from the Data Access Mode drop-down list.
I cannot see the tables set up as set up as pass-through table types to a Oracle 9i db
Any ideas please help
thanks in advance

We migrated a MS Access 2003 mdb into MS Access 2007. The mdb has linked tables to SQL Server via a DSN and utilizes a mdw file. In 2003, the username/password is "passed" to SQL Server, so the UID/PWD that is used for opening the mdb, is used in SQL Server.
Opening the same file in 2007 using the same mdw, gives a secondary login on SQL Server.
Is there a way to have MS Access 2007 pass the UID/PWD to SQL Server on linked tables, the same way that 2003 does?
Thanks!

Hello,
To delete all tables from my database I use:
SELECT 'DROP table ' + table_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.tables
To get the list of the tables. Then I run that list:
DROP table Folders
DROP table Files
...
Because of relationships I need to run it various times until all the tables disappear. Is there a way to everything in one command?
Thank You,
Miguel

Hi,
I have a question to ask. I'm new to SQL Server but have been trying to learn it. I have just installed the SQL Server 2000 SP4 and have a dummy Access database that need to be migrated to SQL Server 2000 for a test. I used the DTS wizard provided by the SQL Server 2000. It was successful - no error appears. I have also successfully done the link tables from Access to SQL Server. Now, my question is how do i add/edit/delete some records in SQL Server via Access. I need your help or guidance on this.
Thank you in advance
I Have read a few of the postings and I hate to beat a dead horse. But I am desperatly looking for your Help...
I am converting all of my Access Databases over to SQL server 2005. but the catch is that I need to keep Access as my front-end. One of the problems that I have faced (and there maybe more) but when it comes to running queries (especially Delete), I cannot seem to get things to work.
I would like to just store all of my data in SS2K5 and have all of my queries and forms run in Access.
Why is it that I am getting errors that do not seem to make sense (Access Error 3086) when I have opened up all of the permissions associated to my database?
Please let me know if anyone has any type of solution, or some place that I can go to that will help me understand this a little more.
my query is pretty simple.
