Hi all, we currently have an access databse with linked odbc connections to an SQL server database.
Performance wise I don't think this is great.
Anyone have any general information about doing an upgrade to a micrsoft project database, and what are the pros and cons of access projects compared to Access databases with linked tables.
About 30 -40 users currently hammer the access front end during the day.
Can i share a function module to all the reports in a report project, that i can use the functions in the formating or expressions. Is there any way to add a assembly reference to the project and can include all the functions in an assembly file?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am working on two versions of an application, one of which will be awindows forms application (which will need to be redistributable) andthe other will be a web application.I have MS Visual Studio 2005 (along with the developer's edition of MSSQL Server), but not MS Access. I also have MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sun'sapplication server, Tomcat and Apache web server. I am working onWindows XP Pro, and have installed the .NET 3 SDK and all relevantrelated products I could find (e.g. 2 extensions packages for VisualStudio).I have one MS Access database, to which my users should have read onlyaccess. I have, and have used, a tool for importing MS Accessdatabases into MySQL. I expect that SQL Server has a similar utilityhidden somewhere (where I haven't yet looked, though I HAVE beenlooking - obviously in the wrong places). I have located a similarutility for importing MS Access databases into PostgreSQL. I have notyet decided which servers to use for the web version, but that isanother story, for which I may raise another thread in due course (butI welcome suggestions which may reduce the effort required givenrequired effort for the windows forms app).My problem is for the windows form aplication (intended for use by asingle family). I expect to use ADO.NET. The question is, should Iimport the Access database into MS SQL, and redistribute it, along withMS SQL Server Express (or is that necessary), or distribute it just asan Access database and use the jet engine to access it. A relatedquestion is, "Does ADO.NET support creating new databases for a givenengine?" Imagine a recipe database. It is easy enough to create a SQLscript that creates all the required tables, indices, foreign keys,&c., but can I submit that SQL script to an ADO.NET object, along witha file name, and have it create, e.g., an Access database with thesupplied name. Or do I have to create a database file with nothing init other than the schema?I have more questions, but they'll have to wait.ThanksTed

For some reason in a Team Foundation Team Project that has multiple project types (SSRS, SSIS, WebSite, C# Business DLL...), the SSIS project makes itself the startup project to the team project. If I explicitly set another project as the startup project to the team project and then select an SSIS package in the SSIS project in the team project, the SSIS project becomes the startup project automatically.
I am using Visual Studio 2005 SP1.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'tab_db1'The above query will give the information of the table 'tab_db1' if it is available in the current database (say db1) connected.How can i access the information of a table (say 'tab_db2') which is created under a different database say db2 from the current db connected say db1.I tried the above query with changing the table_name to 'db2..tab_db2'but went invain.sysobjects also dint work..Any help on this will be appreciated..regards,Sathya V

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have recently moved from Access mdb to Access project.
I have found that for the same data, an MSDE database occupies more than double the size of an Acess database!
I had upsized a database with a table, comprising about 200,000 rows.
Where as the Access database occupied 40 mb, the MSDE database occupied 120 mb!.
Tried shrinking the database and reduced it to 113 mb.
Is this to be accepted?
Is there any equivalent of the very effective 'compact database' command of Access in SQL Server?

Most 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.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this, but was as close as I could get. I am an amateur stumbling thru this to "learn by doing". I am trying to set up an access front end for a SQLExpress database, currently all local for experimenting. Trying to import Excel data to a table in the database, using Access "get external data" function. I get errors and the data wont import. Error message won't give me a clue to what is wrong. All fields are named the same. If I convert the excel to a csv or tab delineated, it imports correctly. Just not the excel. Any ideas?

I am getting the €śoverflow€? message (MS SQL Server Database Wizard) on attempt of creating a project in MS Access using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. I am actually able to open an existing DB.
I was wandering why is this happening and what can I do to create such a project
Thank you
hi there,
we can´t 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 won´t
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 can´t 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

Hi,
When using an Access Project 2002 connected with SQL Server Express in OLE DB it's impossible to work in creation mode. A message explains that this Access version is not compatible with this SQL version.
Is there a service pack ?
Hello,
I have an Access .adp file that's connected to a SQL Server. I can run small queries just fine, but some of my queries take several minutes to run. When I try to run a lengthy query I get an error message that says "Timeout Expired".
I believe that this error is the one that is described here on MSDN online:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/243464
I tried to implement a solution similar to this in .adp file by creating this subroutine:
----------------------------------------------
Sub BypassTimeout()
CurrentProject.Connection.CommandTimeout = 0
MsgBox "The subroutine ran"
End Sub
-----------------------------------------------
I know that the subroutine is running because I'm seeing the message in the MsgBox statement. (This sub runs everytime the .adp file is opened).
However, doing this still doesn't seem to prevent me from getting the "Timeout Expired" error message when I try to run a lengthy query.
Does anyone know a way around this? I believe the default timeout is 30 seconds ... but SURELY microsoft did not intend for .adp files to not be able to run queries that are longer than 30 seconds.
I have a project need to store the information of reservation. For example, somebody wants to reserve a laptop. She will sign in the date from calender to use. I would like to let the administrator to access the database and update the database in the intranet. Also the user who want to reserve a resource can access the intranet to fill a form, after approving it, she can borrow the resource. Of course, this is small database. And we also have a report on this.Do you have any idea how to do it? I appreciate.

I have conntected an Access 2003 project to a database in SQL Express and when I try to create a new view or stired procedure I get the message
This version of Microsoft Access doesn't support design changes with the version of Microsoft SQL Server your project is connected to. See the Microsoft Office Update Web site for the latest information and downloads (on the Help menu, click Office on the Web). Your design changes will not be saved.
Is it a limitation or have I not got the appropriate permissions set up
And if it is a limitation does it matter
Thanks in advance

I am trying to filter the records in an Access2003 project form using data from a control in a different form. I define the variable in form1 as RegKeyWord. The record source for form2 ends with WHERE CustomerName Like RegKeyWord. I receive the error Invalid column 'RegKeyWord'
Can anyone help?
Looks like the Office 2003 MS Access has no support for creating a linked server and implement design changes. While you could link to the SQL 2005 tables, which show up as queries in MS Access 2003, any further use of the linked queries are not supported unless the Access 2003 version came out after the SQL 2005 release. What kind of an update is needed, or fix is needed so that Access projects can be developed?
View 6 Replies View RelatedThere is a form in an Access Project (.adp, Access front end with SQLServer) for entering data into a table for temporary storing. Then, byclicking a botton, several action stored procedures (update, append) shouldbe activated in order to transfer data to other tables.I tried to avoid any coding in VB, as I am not a professional, but I havefound a statement in an article, that, unlike select queries, form's InputProperty can't be used for action queries. Therefore, parameters can bepassed to action stored procedure only by using ADO through VB.As I'm not very familiar with VB, I had to search in literature.So, this is a solution based on creating Parameter object in ADO and thenappending values to Parameter collection.Please, consider the following procedure I created for passing parametersfrom form's control objects (Text boxes) to a stored procedureDTKB_MB_UPDATE:Private Sub Command73_Click()Dim cmd As ADODB.CommandSet cmd = New ADODB.Commandcmd.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connectioncmd.CommandText = "DTKB_MB_UPDATE"cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProcDim par As ADODB.ParameterSet par = cmd.CreateParameter("@DATE", adDBTimeStamp, adParamInput)cmd.Parameters.Append parSet par = cmd.CreateParameter("@BATCH_NUMBER", adVarWChar, adParamInput, 50)cmd.Parameters.Append parSet par = cmd.CreateParameter("@STATUS", adVarWChar, adParamInput, 50)cmd.Parameters.Append parSet par = cmd.CreateParameter("@DEPARTMENT", adVarWChar, adParamInput, 50)cmd.Parameters.Append parSet par = cmd.CreateParameter("@PRODUCTION", adVarWChar, adParamInput, 50)cmd.Parameters.Append parSet par = cmd.CreateParameter("@SAMPLING_TYPE", adVarWChar, adParamInput,50)cmd.Parameters.Append parcmd.Parameters("@DATE") = Me.DATEcmd.Parameters("@BATCH_NUMBER") = Me.BATCH_NUMBERcmd.Parameters("@STATUS") = Me.STATUScmd.Parameters("@DEPARTMENT") = Me.DEPARTMENTcmd.Parameters("@PRODUCTION") = Me.PRODUCTIONcmd.Parameters("@SAMPLING_TYPE") = Me.SAMPLING_TYPEcmd.ExecuteSet cmd = NothingEnd SubUnfortunately, when clicking on the botton, the following error apears:"Run-time error'-2147217913 (80040e07)':Syntax error converting datetimefrom character string."Obviously, there is some problem regarding parameter @DATE. In SQL Server itis datetime, on the form's onbound text box it is short date (dd.mm.yyyy)data type. I have found in literature that in ADO it should beadDBTimeStamp.So, what is the problem ?Greetings,Zlatko
View 2 Replies View RelatedI can pass a parameter from an Access Query to an Access Report (MDB) by entering [Select Date] in the Query criteria and by placing an unbound control with a control source =[Select Date] on the report.

p.s. I tried searching for other postings on this without any luck.
One single table when openen from a MSAccess project file gives error:
The setting for DecimalPlaces property must be from 0 through 15, 255 for Auto (default).
After which the table is openend normally. I don't recall setting Decimal Places to the table. The only numeric fields are two INTs that are also ID's (PK and FK). This error occurs also when recreating the db project. These fields can not be edited eitther from MSAccess nor Enterprise Manager.
What can be done on the table, resp. MSAccess to change this?
I want to be able to see when records have been added to a table. The issue is we have a DTS job scheduled to run every night. The developer who wrote it password protected it and doesn't work here anymore. I want to add a step to this series of DTS jobs and want to run it just prior to his job. Is there a way to see when the records are being added or when this job is being run? Thanks again, you guys are the best.

Hi,
I have been working on some SSIS packages for a while now and today while i was working i was trying to create a new connection and in the process there was an error and it said the BIDS has to be closed and i closed it but later when i open BIDS and try to open my project(.sln) from the file menu to work on the half done package it pops up an error which shows the path to my project location on the first line and next statement on the pop up error box says:
"Make Sure the application for the project type (.dtproj) is installed."
I tried to check some forums in which some suggested to try installing SP1 which i tried but ..i dont know why but the SP1 fails to install (i dont know if its causing problem becoz i already installed SP2 as i had some other problem before for which the cure was to install SP2).
Did anyone here face such a problem before ?
I'd really appreciate if the experts here can tell a cure for this problem.
thanks,
Ravi
I have a Visual Studio 2005 solution which contains a Sql Server Integration Services (SSIS) project.
In this solution I have explicitly set a Web application project as startup project, but whenever I edit a DTS package within the SSIS project, VS automatically sets the SSIS project as startup project and the package I edit as startup object.
Needless to say, this may cause some really unwanted incidents when running the solution - thinking that you're about to run the Web application project (that was explicitly set as startup project), but instead, you run the edited package in the SSIS project.
Is there any way to avoid having the SSIS project automatically setting itself as startup project, any workaround here at all? :)
Thanks.
in order to maintain a deployed project into an Integration Services Catalog I'd like to know if it is possible to import it into a new project inside SSDT.

I have a very small project written in VB.Net 2005 using the SQL Server 2005 SSiS DTSx package.
I took a SQL Server 2000 dts package and using the SQL Server 3005 legacy tools migrated it so I could still use the package withing SQL 2005 until I can build one using BI/SSIS.
Anyway,I added the reference Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS so I could then use the Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime so I can execute the commands:
Dim oApp As New Application
Dim oPkg As New Package
oPkg = oApp.LoadPackage(g_DTSx_Directory & "AOC copy Generic1 CSV to AOC_verify_file_1.dtsx", Nothing)
Dim oResults As DTSExecResult
oResults = oPkg.Execute
Ok. That works fine. Executes without a hitch. So now I try and create a setup project for this and I use the setup wizard.
During the creation of the setup project I get a message that states:
The following files may have dependencies that cannot be determined automatically. Please confirm that all dependencies have been added to the project.
C:windowssystem32msxml6.dll
OK. The dll is part of the reference I mentioned above and I have no idea what other dependencies it may have.
How do I find this out?
Has anyone else created a project like this and experenced the same?
I am on a clean build running WinXP Pro with SP2 - VS2005 with SP1 and the SQL Server 2005 tools.
I've got an SSIS solution file with project deployment model in VS 2013 and would like to deploy that to SSISDB on different environments.All these days I followed the regular way to create a project in SSISDB and deploy it to that. Now want to find out if i can automate this process and so got some questionsÂ
1. Can we automate the process of creating a project on SSISDB based on our SSIS project name? This will be like when we do a deployment it should check if the project exists or not on SSISDB based on our SSIS project name, if the project exists we just deploy the packages in the project and if the project does not exists in SSISDB it will create that project and deploy the packages.
2. Can we also automate the process of creating environments? In traditional way we manually create the environment variables under environment tab of SSISDB, but can we make that also as part of deployment? Like when we are releasing to Dev server we look if that particular Dev variable exists on that server, if it exists we just update the existing stuff and if it does not exists we just create it.
