Hi,
I'd like to get some help on this. I'm new to SQL Server but am keen to learn it. I have SQL Server 2000 SP4 running and wonder what kind of front end application is best suited for SQL Server 2000.
Thank you in advance
Hi All,
From front end application, I execute a SQL
`exec sp_password oldpassword,newpassword
and I got error message :
"Error code# 15002 :[Visigenics] [ODBC MS
SQL Server 6 Driver] [MS SQL Server]
The procedure `sp_password` cannot be
executed from within a transaction.".
If I logged in directly to SQL 6.5 without going
thru the front-end application then I could
change password successfully.
Has anyone tried to change password FROM
a front-end application? Our shop uses
Omnis 7.3.6 as front end and SQL 6.5 as back
end. TIA.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an application that uses Acces as a backend and VBA as front end. Application is secured and is supplied on a CD with setup.exe.
Can I use VB 2005 and MS SQL to achieve the same?
Would I be able to package my application with all the neccessery files (assuming that client does not have any e.g. SQL server) so that multiple front ends can access data from common source?
Would I be able to secure such an application using only VS 2005?
What would I need to quickly learn how to achieve the above ( any books you can suggest maybe)?
Hi there,I sincerely hope that someone out there can help. I have twoinstances of the SQL 2000 Desktop Engine running. One is on my localmachine for development and the other is on another machine on ournetwork which is the production environment. I have built an Access2003 front end application which connects to this database. Thisworks fine locally, as you would expect. I successfully installed thedatabase on the production machine and am able to connect to it viaAccess 2003 (using the Data Link Properties window) and from thirdparty database manager software (similar to Enterprise Manager). I amnot able to to connect to the database via my application.I am using the "sa" account with a strong password. This is myconnection string:strConnection = "Provider=sqloledb;DataSource=server02;UserId=sa;Password=strong;Initial Catalog=Test"The error I'm getting is:"Connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is eitherclosed or invalid in this context."The connection string is the only thing that changes in my code when Iswitch from my local to my production database. Is there some reasonthat I can't use the "sa" account in this fashion that I'm not awareof? I'd rather not use integrated security for simplicity's sake asthis is a small, internal application. Also, I would have thoughtthat if that was the issue, I couldn't use "sa" at all, even locally.I'm going to post to the Access group as well but thought someone heremight have some advice to offer as well.Thanks,Barb

Sorry for the lengthy question, but here goes:
I currently have an access database with a FE and BE that resides on each users laptop. Weekly they connect to the network and synch the BE the master on a network drive. There are numerous propblems with this as it has grown quite extensive.
We would like to have this be a server based database with the remote users either having access through the web or something else?
A few of the capabilities of the current database:
1. generate and print reports 2. update project forms. 3. enter time logs 4. enter notes
My question is:
What are my options for a remote FE? I am well versed in VB6 and Access. Would be willing to learn other languages (VB.net, my SQL, etc.) Would I be able to have the same functionality or would I have to have separate software for certain functions?
I have a stored procedure that can take up to 2 hours to run, has anyone any ideas on what front end would be best used to call it

Hello,
I am new to SQL Server. I currently have an Access 2007 database and next year my client would like to migrate to SQL Server. Which Front End is the best...Access, VB.net or some other platform altogether?

I'm doing a database for employee info and thier payroll.. im using SQL Serevr 2000 and IIS but i'm not too sure what to use as the frontend, a VB would kinda be overkill because each employee just needs to be able to update his own info and addresses, maybe a XML or some other page that uses windows logins for authentication? any ideas, this is my first project like this on on a college Coop
View 1 Replies View Relatedi am almost finished building the front end for an application to manage restaurants. i am developing the front end with access vba, and intend to use sql server as a back end for the service. i just came across a group of people bashing access developers on a different site. i have several restaurants interested in using the service, and believe that the service should be very successfull (i have a very specific customer base that is currently not being targeted). the access component would not be a multiuser application. before i distribute the app i would appreciate any input. am i getting myself into trouble using access vba? should i run scared and switch to a vb.net web service?
thanks in advance for any thoughts.
Below is a post by blindman from my other "mentoring" thread (http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?t=1608569). I wanted to respond to it but not in that thread:
Yeah, but if he's going to go unbound he might as well develop in .Net rather than Access. You lose half the convenience of MSAccess as a front end if you use unbound forms and controls.
Besides, he's trying to learn SQL Server, not front-end development. Learning both at the same time may be a bit much. I'd suggest he stick with his idea of converting the Access database to SQL Server back-end.
But, you should definitely convert the Access front-end to a Microsoft Access Data Project, rather than a classic mdb file.
Going unbound would increase your application performance, but probably not noticably unless you have scores of uses, and since you are currently using straight MS Access I'd guess you have no more than five or six simultaneous users, right?

To start I have decided that ADO is the way to go even though I don't necessarily need the performance boost for my current situation. Keep in mind I am planning for future and more demanding opportunities, hopefully :) And I'd like to learn the "right" way to do things.
I actually use ADO quite a bit in my current DB app and bound controls as well so it really wasn't a new concept. However using strictly ADO produces alot more work and code. And like blindman says it pretty much takes all the ease of Access away and VB.NET for that matter too. I mean all the wizards are useless. So I have two questions:
1. When going to all ADO you are pretty much recreating what Access already does for you right? Coding in ADO is more work right? I mean you have to setup connections and fill fields and listboxes manually in code right? I don't mind the extra work I just want to make sure if I'm going to be doing all this extra coding that it is the right thing to be doing.
2. MDB vs. ADP - From what little I've read Access Data Projects are made for use with SQL Server. It is even more useful if you don't/can't actually work in SQL Server. But again if I'm using ADO it strips all the usefulness of the ADP's doesn't? I don't need ADP's to create views or sprocs. I can do all of that through the management studio. So does it really matter if I use an ADP or MDB as my front end if that is all it is going to be is a front end?
Lastly I wanted to use VB 2005 as the front end but we utilize a ton of reports. As far as I know Crystal Reports or something like it has to be used with VB 2005. Or does VB 2005 have some built in reporting capabilities? I thought I saw some report designer for VB6. Anyway I decided to stick with Access because I am familiar with its reporting capabilities.
I should note that I have VB 2005 Express and SQL Server Express. Right now my company is not putting any money into a higher version.
Let me know what you all think.
Thanks,

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi!I'm trying to build an app. for my parents' office. They have a smalloffice (5 PCs), and they currently work with a very old program that'sbased on DOS. The program doesn't work well under XP, so they still useWin 98. They had their network upgraded about a year ago. They hadMicrosoft SBS 2000 installed, it includes SQL Server. I've written afew DB's in Access before, and now I'm just learning how to use SQL.Before I start work on their app., I have a question:I know it's possible to create an interface that can be put on theirnetwork and accessed via a browser. How is this done exactly?It would be very beneficial for me, because it would mean that the newapp. would be platform independent, so that they can upgrade to XPeasily. It would also save us the cost of licensing front-end software(e.g. Access) for each machine.Any comments would be appreciated.Noam Nelke, Israel.

Hi
I have a scenario while creating a report where I need to maintain the same number of rows for a column, even if the data grows or shrinks for that column
example
Each Scenario is grouped by ID
Scenario 1
columnA
Row1 X X
Row2 X
Row3 X
Row4 XYZ
Scenario 2
columnA
Row1 XA
Row2 XYZ
In both scenario's I need to control from front end
the number of row should remain 4
I am grouping by row field say Type
This field Type varies for each ID group
Hello all. Yes, this is another question relating to how to make a front-end to a SQL database using ASP.NET. I performed a search in this forum and did not find the exact answer to my questions (one responder to the other threads about this topic even said this is the incorrect sub-forum for this question, but I found no other appropriate place; considering this sub-forum is for asking beginner questions).
Besides the "quickstart" tutorials linked off this site, can you point me to other web resources (tutorials, walk-throughs, etc) or books that would provide the necessary information to develop a SQL front-end? Specifically I need help creating the Update Record and Delete Record pages.
I was hoping a "rapid development" tool could be used. At my disposal I have Visual Studio .NET 2003, Dreamweaver MX 2004, and FrontPage 2003.
Thank you for your time.
I am using Access 97 as a front end to access SQL 7 server on NT 4.0 server.
I've set up security model based on NT authentication only. Users have login right to login to SQL and they have public & dataread & denydatawrite access. They also have SELECT permission on a table object and have no permission to INSERT, DELETE and UPDATE.
When I use Access 97 to access a database, users are still capable of inserting and deleteing records in tables.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks, Michael.
Maybe because I have worked mainly with VB as a front end to SQL Server so I am biased, but I now need definite reasons (I am on a committee for potential future directions) for using VB as opposed to Access for front ending SQL/Oracle, etc. I would also like to use ADO as oppose to DAO. Right now we are using Access with DAO.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Hi,
We have just moved a largish Access database (180mb, 78 tables, largest
tables have about 250k records) to SQL 2k. The original app had an Access
back end (now loaded to SQL), and an Access front end (on each client) which is using some
local temporary tables, about 600 queries, and several thousand lines of
code using ADO and DAO). The Front end was relinked to SQL back end. When
testing everything seemed to run OK, but under load (15-20 users) the new
app just crawls. Routines that used to take seconds now take 10s of minutes.
ODBC timeouts or blocks are common.
Any idea why should the SQL back end be so much slower than Access. both the
Access back end and SQL2k are on the same server (Win 2k Adv. with RAID 5,
dual 600mhz Pent III, 512Mb RAM).
I realize that Access is not the best front end but that is what we have to work with.
Any help would be appreciated, as I am ready to swith back to Access.
Thanks,
Jakub
My company uses MS SQL Server for the back end and a Retail specific CRM as the front end. I wish to develop some internal peices of software for our use. I was planning on doing this with access.
my options are:
*Use access as front end and backend
*Use access as front end and SQL server as backend (create new DB)
*Use other front end and SQL Server as backend.
My question is, what are some good front ends that are availble for reletively small demands? How does Visual Studio come into play?
*Also, I would prefer to be able to create a .exe. I dont think access alows that. I would not want users to be able to go in (or even see) the tables and queries. They should only be able to see the one main menu form at the very least.
thankyou,
Dynasty
When I build an MS Access front-end for an SQL Server backend, how does it take care of data integrity and concurrency , if it is only a front-end ?
Is Access smart enough to do the job ?
Thanks.
Clearly, I'm very new to this.
Does anyone have a favorite tool/system for creating a SQLServer front end?
I've been looking into this myself and seeing everything from Visual Basic to Access to ASP, from Web to Windows.
Here's my situation. I need to create a few simple tools for our office folks to use. For example, a tool that creates an invoice using data from two tables (Customers, Items).
I'd like to make it as simple as possible for them (ex. setting up an autocomplete for the customer name, etc.).
Please understand, I'm not looking for anyone to write code for me. I just want some feedback on what tools to use.
I would just use Access (since I am familiar with it), but we don't have it here. Sigh.
Any thoughts? Personal Preferences?
After reading performance tuning articles and stuffs. Im getting confussed about writing my queries. One point says don't use 'not in' instead use 'not exists'. But looks i cant implement that in my query.

After having seen my co-worker reinventing the wheelwhen he busily labored to build MS Access framework, I want to sharemy perspective.Having experienced with Access, Visual Basic, Visual C++,and PowerBuilder, I think Sybase's PowerBuilder is the mostproductive tool to build front-ends for any database orclient/server applications. PowerBuilder's datawindowis very powerful.Binhhttp://vmdd.tech.mylinuxisp.com/catalog/
