The website i'm building is using an access97 database. Actually the database isn't very big but i hope it will become. So i would like to convert it to SQL 7.0 which seems to be more powerfull. Is there a software which can do it automatically? What are the modifications needed by ODBC ?
And while querying the linked server from the query analyzer using the following select command
SELECT * FROM REMOTE_OFFICE.RealEstate_Office1.dbo.E_GOV_RE_OK
I got the following error
Server: Msg 7312, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid use of schema and/or catalog for OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'. A four-part name was supplied, but the provider does not expose the necessary interfaces to use a catalog and/or schema. OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error].
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.
I have migrated a database from Access to SQL. Promlem is that I cannot edit the records in the now linked tables. We are still using the Access front end. Why can't we edit the records?
Hi. Silly question time please. I'm a newbie when it comes to SQL7. I'm trying to connect via Access 97 VBA to a SQL server table. I can't seem to get it working at a basic level. Has anyone got the basic syntax or sample piece of VBA code to connect to a SQL server. I've been searching everywhere to no avail so far. Dave.
I have an Access 97 database that I would like to "mirror" in my SQL server 2000 database.
Basically I would like SQL server to keep a current copy of an Access 97 database table which exists on remote machine on our network. Any time there is a change made to the Access table, I would like the SQL server to be updated automatically.
Is this something that is possible to do with replication/synchronization, or do I have to push the data up with another app?
I am trying to link a table from a MS SQL database into access97 thru ODBC. When I do this, I get the message "Can't define field more than once." When I look at the table in SQL, there are no duplicate field names, however, when I bring the table in to do a Crystal Report, I see there are 2 fields that have duplicate field names 6 times. (Evidently Crystal doesn't care about this as Access does.) Any clues on what is happening?
I would like to create a MSAccess97 front end for some SQL7 data. I created an odbc source system dsn for the server holding the SQL7 data. When I try to add a table to my Access97 database by linking it to a SQL7 table, the only choices presented me are tables in the default database for SQL7 on my server. How do I link to tables in another database on that server? Thanks.
When Access date/time data is transformed to SQL7, it seems to work fine as long as the data contains date information. But, if the data is time only, there is the 2-day diff. coming out of Access.
For date/time data in Access, day 0 is 12/30/1899--for SQL7 it is 1/1/1900.
So, it appears that DTS first converts Access date/time data to a date formatted string and then sends to SQL. This will only be a problem for times....8:00 AM is stored to SQL as 8:00 AM on 12/30/1899, not 1/1/1900. If I try to calculate hours or minutes from midnight (date/time 0) I get a negative number.
Has anyone else encountered this? I guess my choice is to modify DTS to correct for the dates or to run an update once the data is moved.
I`m trying out SQLServer7, have installed it on my workstation, have been able to open access97 and link to sql7 tables I created. Want another user to use access97 to set up her own database and link to my sql7 tables. Do I need to install anything from the sql7 beta disk on her desktop? Right now she can`t link a sql7 table to her access97 db. Thanks.
We have an Access97 database with 122 tables. I try to use import and export wizard to import the data from access into SQL 2005 database. I find an interesting problem. When select all tables, the wizard give following errors:
Pre-execute (Error) Messages Error 0xc0202009: {DBD1EAB5-7865-4B89-A7BB-DDC8507D8119}: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc020801c: Data Flow Task: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "SourceConnectionOLEDB" failed with error code 0xC0202009. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc004701a: Data Flow Task: component "Source 64 - PlanClasses" (5206) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020801C. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
But if I divide importing as 2 steps: 1. import all tables before PlanClasses, it works. 2. import all tables after PlanClasses including PlanClasses, it works.
If I just import PlanClasses itself, it works, but I can not import all tables at once. Interesting thing is if I just unselect PlanClasses, it will have same error at the class right after PlanClasses. Is there size limitation when doing import at once?
I recently rewrote an old ACCESS 97 application to work with MSSQL 7.
The program works fine until I use a form whiche opens several linked tables at the same time. When closing the Form I get (At unpredictable moments) an ODBC SQL SERVER DRIVER update failure error message.
All rights are set on the tables for Public and even then i keep getting this error at very odd moments. I also had a look in Access at the ODBC refresh rate which is set at 10sec , OLEDB refreshrate 10 sec, and refresh is set at 5sec.
I tried different combinations of timeout settings and even renewing the MDAC to version 2.7. Nothing helps.
Can anyone give me a tip as to look for the possible source of the error and how to fix it? Thanks! Vincent JS
I have an application written in Access 97 that connects to a SQL2000backend. One field is a description field that is a data type NTEXT in theSQL database. In my access form, I can not enter more than 255 characters.Before I converted the backend to SQL, the description field was a memofield in Access.What do I need to do to make it so I can enter more text into this field?
I remember having "converted" a mdb (Access ) DB into SQL Server 7, some motnhs ago.
Now I have installed SQL Express, and would like to do the same (just converting the tables, so I don't have to create them by hand again). But I am unable to find any menu option to do that in SSMSEE. Is it feasible?
Hi! We are trying to convert the database from Sybase 11.0.3 to MS SQL 6.5. Is there any quick/easy way to do the conversion without using bcp? any third party software we may use to make the conversion easier? Thank you very much!
Hi, Please i would like to know if msde or SQL Express need a license to the customer. If no does anyone know how to convert sql database to msde or SQl express?
I send you this message to told hwo can i do to convert one database which is in Access97 to SQL Server6.5. I must create a interface in the web which is able to interrogate the database that the reason why i want to do that. Thanks for any help in advance.
We have an application with database with Sortid 50 (binary) in SQL 6.5 We're planning to upgrade to SQL2000 and use the default Sortid 52.
Can we change it when using the SQL2000 upgrade wizard ? I tried and got a warning msg "code page / sort order configuration between import and export SQl server do not match or not supported. A successful converison cannot be guarenteed"
Or we should bcp the database out from the old SQL 6.5(soritd 50) and then bcp in another new SQL 6.5(with sortid 52),then rebuild all schema, then migrate this new SQL 6.5 to 2000 with migration wizard as normal ?
Or we do the migration first, then use copy database wizard to copy it into another SQL2000 database with different sortid, i.e 52 ? (As I recall SQL2000 support databases with different character set and sorting order ) Anyone has any thoughts ?any pros and cons for various ways of converting it, Thanks. Anthony
I want to convert the access2000 database to SQL server 2000. I am able to convert the tables but unable to convert the query as view in SQL server 2000.

B.PointertoA B1.PointertoA B2.PointertoA
Can I use sql to find the pointers? Thanks in advance.
Can anybody tell me that how to convert database from sql server 2005 to sql server 2000. I tried with generated script and in that i selected the option for sql server 2000 but still while trying to run that script it is throwing an error. the error is:
