How To Create Linked Server To Access 2007 Accdb File?
Feb 20, 2008
How does one create a linked server to an Access 2007 (accdb) file? I am aware that to create one to a mdb file, the code would be -EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'SEATTLE Mktg',
@provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
@srvproduct = 'OLE DB Provider for Jet',
@datasrc = 'C:MSOfficeAccessSamplesNorthwind.mdb'
GO
What is the corresponding code for Access 2007 accdb files?
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?
I have created a linked server that connects to "mpp" file, and it connects and opens successfuly returning a list of tables that exists in the linked server to the mpp file.
But the problem i am facing now that whne i write a select statment to get data from the tables in this linked server
select * from linktompp.testmpp.dbo.tasks
such that linktompp is the linked server name testmpp is the catalog name tasks is the table name i need to select data from
it shows an error that says
"Could not obtain a required interface from OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Project.OleDB.11.0'."
"[OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Project.OleDB.11.0' IUnknown::QueryInterface returned 0x80004002: IGetDataSource]" could anyone tell me the reason of this error

Is there a way to create a SQL 2005 x64 Linked server to an Excel (or Access) 2003/2007 file? In SQL 2005 32bit this was possible. Does anyone know of a solution or a work around?
I have a linked server in SQL 2007 form SQL to DB2.(IBM)
If I write a distributed query from SQL to DB2 I get mt data returned. ie: select * from openquery(Movex_Extranet,'Select * From mvxadta.ooline')
If I write a Query from SQL to DB2 using the 4-part naming convention linkserver.catalog.schema.object then I also get my data returned.
ie: select * from MOVEX_EXTRANET.RCHASE5C.MVXADTA.OOLINE
My problem is with the Query Designer in SQL2007.
When I right click the first lot of code and select "Design query in editor" The Designer GUI opens up and displays my table in graphical form with all columns selected - Great.
But When I repeat this for the code that uses the 4 part naming The Designer opens up and displays the table but with no columns viewable or available for me to select ??
Anyone know what might be causing this to happen. Is it a bug in SQL 2007 ??
I have tried linking the server using 2 types of providers ( One from Microsoft & one from IBM) but each time I still cannot see or choose columns in the designer using the 4part naming convention.
The 2 providers I tried where. Microsoft OLE DB for ODBC Drivers. IBM DB2 UDB for Iseries IBMDA400 OLE DB Provider
Any help greatly appretiated as I would really love to use the designer using 4part naming convention.
Apparently if you read this the it should work ? http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa225987(SQL.80).aspx#dvmscworkingwithtablesfromdifferentdatasources
I have a problem with connecting to our SQL Server 2005 through Access 2007. I get a msg "ODBC-- failed. [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] SELECT permission denied on object 'clients', database 'Contacts', schema 'dbo' (#229)" We have moved some of our tables from Access over to SQL Server 2005. I recently got Access 2007 and I'm the only one at the office that has this problem (everyone else uses Access 2003 or older). I can link tables to SQL Server but I can't open them and I can't open Forms or Reports that has those tables as data source. I can open other objects in Access that are not linked to SQL Server.
I have just downloaded an evaluation version of SQL server from the microsoft website and installed it in my PC.
Now I want to create file data source.
I followed these steps: -From the control panel, ODBC datasource admin -click the DSN tab -click the add button -select the sql server driver, enter the data source file name -enter "local" in the server text box as I installed the sql server in my standalone PC. -click next After that I had this error. "Connection failed. SQL server does not exist or access denied."
But The sql server service is running.
Can anyone help me where did my configuration go wrong?? Thanks...
I am looking for a solution to the problem named Table was skipped, or export failed. Here's the story:
I have a desktop with Vista Ultimate x64 and Office 2007. I want to export a database from Access MDB (about 2Gb, 110 tables) to SQL Server Express Express (Advanced). The simple solution > upsize wizard.
- create new database - server name, used trusted connection, some database name - I select all tables - I unselect table's attributes - create new Access server/client application and every time I have Table was skipped, or export failed. The same thing happens when I create new MDB with one table (some random values)!
The strange thing that on laptop with XP + SQL Sever 2005 Express (Simple) and Access XP upsizing the same database works fine!'
one other issues of a rookie: I wanted to access a database (randomly created) on Vista with the Access on my laptop. Both PCs are in the same network I can ping both, but when I try to connect to IP_desktopSQLEXPRESS Access posts connection error. Why?
P.S. When installing SQL Server on Vista I have only a problem with IIS and ASP.NET, but it shouldn't be a problem.
Hi Folks, I have an access 2007 data base for document control and it saves the received documents in a table in a attachment field type, I tried to upsize it to SQL Server 2005 but after upsizing realized that this field type is not supported by 2005 so I downloaded the SQL Express 2008 and installed it as it has this enhancement but Access 2007 doesn’t recognize the server for upsizing. I appreciate you help Thanks :beer:

I am trying to create a linked server in Management Studio Exoress. In the Objext Explorer, I open Server Objexts and the right-click on Linked Servers and select New Linked Server. I then get an error that says "Cannot show the requested dialog. Additional information: Cannot find table 0. (System Data). The full text of the error is as follows:

I am running XP SP2 and SSE SP2. One other item is that the providers folder is empty. I checked another box and there are several providers listed in that installation. It looks like when the SSE is installed, the providers are not being created. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and am having the same problem. Is this a installation bug or is there a conflict with another program? I also re-downloaded the installation files in case there was a problem with that, but it didn't solve the issue either.
I converted my database to 2007 version and when I tried to execute VBA Module which adds records from one table to another it showed me a mistake (Type mismatch) Here is the code (it worked on 2003 version). Can anybode help me to fix the error?
Function AddBulletin() Dim st As String Dim i As Integer Dim db As Database Dim Table1 As Recordset Dim Table2 As Recordset DoCmd.OpenTable "Today", acNormal, acEdit DoCmd.ApplyFilter "", "[Today]![F3] Is Null" DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectAllRecords DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord DoCmd.Close acTable, "Today" Set db = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).Databases(0) Set Table1 = db.OpenRecordset("Today", dbOpenDynaset) Set Table2 = db.OpenRecordset("BULLETINS", dbOpenDynaset)
The mistake appears on the last two rows. It's probably easy but I cannot find it.
Hi, I'm using a couple of linked servers. I want to create a stored procedure on all of the linked servers in a database with a name which exists on all of the linked servers. For executing SQL on all of the linked servers I'm using:
declare @x int declare @dbname varchar(500) declare @SQL nvarchar(600) set @x = 1 create table #databases (ID int IDENTITY,name varchar(500)) insert #databases select instancelongname from instances while @x <= (select max(id) from #databases) begin select @dbname = name from #databases where id = @x select @SQL='blabla bla bla create PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_xxxx]' execute @SQL set @x = @x + 1 end drop table #databases
Is it possible to use a ‘create procedure’ in this construction? Can anybody give me some help how to create a proper syntax for it?
what are the steps to create a linked server, I have tried unsuccesfully: The scenario is the following: From server A I want to be able to execute a select statement to a table in server B like select * from [server B].myRemoteDb.dbo.myremTable
I am administrator of server A but not of server B. I tried the
sp_addlinkedserver syntax but have not been succesful, so I would be grateful if somebody could just list the steps necessary to link Server B from Server A,
I'm using sql server 2005 and exchange 2003. End result is I want to upload email attachments to a table in sql. No one seems to have any idea how do do this except with .net, which i know nothing about so not really an option for me. I found this bit of info with some extensive web searching. Can anyone help fill in the blanks? I can't get the linked server to work yet.
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'exchange', 'Exchange OLE DB provider', 'exoledb.DataSource.1', 'file:\.ackofficestoragemailservernamepublic folders'
Error received:The OLE DB provider "exoledb.DataSource.1" has not been registered.
I´m trying to create a linked server to a Sybase database (.db file) so i can create some reports in sql 2005 (with Reporting Services and Report Designer). After reading all articles I did the following.
1) Installe Adaptive Server Anyhwere (Interactive Sql) 9.0.2 on the server. 2) Created a USER DSN to the Db file (Control Panel - odbc connections) and it works fine: The Settings for the ODBC are:
Database File: c:Project FolderDataBase.db As I said, when i go for "test connection", works fine.
3) Sql Management Studio - Object Explorer - Server Objects - New Linked Server, with settings as following:
General
Linked Server: lkDbNom
Server Type: Other Data Source
Provider: Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere Provider 9.0
Product Name: Sybase
Product Name: dbNom (the dsn name, right?)
Security
Be made using this security context.- Remote Login: DBA; Password: SQL (same as DSN) All other settings, as default, click in OK and shows no errors (aparently it creates the linked server successfully). But when i try to query the linked server with:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY ('SYBASE', 'SELECT * FROM nom_Robot')
And i get the following message:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'SYBASE'.
Even better, if i go to the Object Explorer - Server Objects, i test the connection and it´s ok, but when i try to retrieve the catalog an error displays:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio ------------------------------ Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum) For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&LinkId=20476 ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo) ------------------------------ The OLE DB provider "ASAProv.90" for linked server "SYBASE" reported an error. Access denied.

So, i really don´t understand what is missing in my linked server, i tried with MDASQL (OLEDB for ODBC) but it doesn´t even completes to create the linked server.
The database file is ok because, because in another server (one that doesn´t have SQL, only visual studio) i did the following:
1) Installe Adaptive Server Anyhwere (Interactive Sql) 9.0.2 on the server. 2) Created a DSN to the Db file, and it works fine. (copied the db file, so is local, no remote access), exactly the same setting as i did on the sql 2005 server. 3) Created a connection in visual studio 2008 (server explorer - data connections), i can retrieve sdata...but of course the provider is .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC and i cannot use the same connection string.
I have an Access2000 ADP that I want to run under Access2007. The problem I have is that some forms take up to 45 seconds to open in Access2007! These are not complicated forms--just simple navigable reference forms like setting up transaction types etc. that are based on basic select statements like:
SELECT * FROM ArReceivableType
Where ArReceivableType is a reference table (less than 10 columns, all int or nvarchar(100) max) containing about 15 or 20 rows. They open instantly in Access2000.
I put a trace on to see what is happening on the SQL Server, and I noticed heaps of nasty code like this that generates tens of thousands of reads:
select object_name(sotblfk.id), user_name(sotblfk.uid), object_name(sotblrk.id), user_name(sotblrk.uid) from sysreferences srfk, sysobjects sofk, sysobjects sotblfk, sysobjects sotblrk where srfk.constid = sofk.id and srfk.fkeyid = sotblfk.id and srfk.rkeyid = sotblrk.id and user_name(sofk.uid) = N'dbo' and object_name(sofk.id) = N'FK_FaAssetTransactionWork_ArReceivableType_ArReceivableTypeId'
It looks like Access2007 is reading all of the constraints for the underlying table, including all foreign keys. My SQL database contains 1400+ tables all with properly constructed foreign keys and other constraints.
Any suggestion on how to NOT have Access2007 do this? Right now, Access2000 works great for this enterprise app, but I really like the new Access2007 features (and I don't want to still be developing Access2000 apps in 2010).
I have SQL Server 7.0 running on a NT server. I need to get data from an access database on another NT server on the network. Can I have it mapped to a logical drive and create a linked server and get data to be used in my stored procs. Please help !! Thanks
I am running SQL Server 7.0 and am trying to set up a linked server to an access database so I can use a SQL7 stored procedure to update the access database.
I create the linked server as: sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'LinkedServer', @srvproduct = N' ', @provider = N'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', @datasrc = N'MyServerest2.mdb', @catalog = N'' GO
I then try setting up the security in the security tabs to impersonate a user I have set up in the access database.
I also have NT security on the directory of the access database to limit the users who can access the directory.
My problem is that when I try to run the sql: "select * from LinkedServer...IMS" (IMS is the tablename) I get the following error: Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error. [OLE/DB provider returned message: The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'ASPECT04accpactestest2.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.]
If I add "Everyone" tpo the security level on the NT directory it works fine, so I obviously have a security problem.
Can anyone tell me what user the sql is running under.
I am new to SQL server. I have a pbm setting up a linked server to MS Access using ODBC. My MS Access database is in the Netware server. I have mapped the NT server to this Netware server using a binary account. Then I have setup the ODBC connection. I tested the ODBC its ok. But when I try to view to tables in the Linked server it gives me an error "Disk or Network Error". I am breaking my head for the past few days. If you have any solution. Pls reply. Thanks in advance.
After converting to SQL Server 2005 and VS2005 I am having a problem connecting to Linked Servers for Access databases. I have searched and read everything I can find, but the solution is still not evident. I have a lot of data integration and data conversion procedures to run and I am stuck at this point not understanding exactly what the problem is and how to resolve it. I believe it is somehow related to "double hop" and permissions with .NET. Many of the discussions are related to using .ASP but that is not involved in this situation.
The Linked Server is defined using the UNC path. The machines are not in a domain. They are in the same LAN segment. Connections will be made without using a security context is specified. A sample Linked Server definition:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'ACCESS EDUCATION', @srvproduct=N'OLE DB Provider for Jet', @provider=N'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', @datasrc=N'\Tacir2k3InfrastructureDatabasesJuly 2005 DatabasesEducationEduDb2005_TR_Db.mdb'
The error:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "ACCESS EDUCATION" returned message "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\Tacir2k3InfrastructureDatabasesJuly 2005 DatabasesEducationEduDb2005_TR_Db.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.".
Machine 1 (Developer Workstation): XP SP2 with latest security patches; SS Management Studio, VS2005
Machine 2 (SQL Server server): Windows 2003 Server with SS2005. The Linked Servers are defined on an SS2005 instance on this machine.
Machine 3 (File server): Windows 2003 Server that contains the Access DB files
When I run SS Management Studio on Machine 2 (the database server), I have no problem accessing the Linked Server pointing to an Access DB file on Machine 3 and can compile or run SPs referencing the Linked Server.
When I run SS Management Studio on Machine 1 to execute an SP that references the Linked Servers, I get the above error.
When I use Machine 1 to compile an SP that references the Linked Server, I get the above error.
I tried granting Everyone Full Control to the folder that contains all the Access database subfolders but I get the same error when running from Machine 1.
I have 2 instances of server A. A is the primary instance and A1 is the logical instance. Instance A1 has a linked server to server B. When I try to create a linked server from the primary instance A to server B, I get the error message
Error 15028: The server 'B' already exists.
When I run a select of master..sysservers on the primary instance, A, I see all linked servers for A and A1. When I select off of A1 I only see the instances for A1.
If I try to access server B from the primary instance A, I receive the following message:
Server: Msg 7411, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Server 'B' is not configured for DATA ACCESS.
(1) Why does sysservers on the primary instance, A, show instances for A and A1 and not just the ones for A?
(2) Why can't I create the linked server 'B' on instance 'A'?
I can create a linked server to another MsSQL from MsSQL,but encounter error when create a linked server to MySQL: Error 7399:OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. Data source name not found and no default driver specified. ......
I have a local SQL2005 server with a linked SQL2000 server. I would like to know how to create a temporary table in the remote server in such a way that I can make an inner join as follows; my idea is to optimized a distributed query by doing so:
create table #myRemoteTempTable
insert into #myRemoteTempTable select * from myLocalTable
update myRemoteTable set Value=#myRemoteTempTable.Value from myRemoteTable inner join #myRemoteTempTable on #myRemoteTempTable.ID=myRemoteTable.ID
i didn't figure out how to add a firebird linked server via ODBC

I need to create a relationship between a local table and tables on alinked server. I used the design table wizard and selected therelationship property wizard. In the reslationship property wizard,the tables that I need to get the keys from in the linked server do notshow up. Is there a way to do this, or I simply don't have enoughpermission to tables in the linked server. On the local server, theSecurity tab of linked server property has Local Loging "sa", RemoteUser "sa" and Remote Password "****". Thanks for your help.
Well I'm hoping I'm asking this in the right place. But probrably not. I am using VB2005 express and have Access 2007 beta. When I try to add a new data source VB is looking for a .mdb database type. However Access 2007 beta uses .accdb. I'm not sure how to get these two talking since in the vb drop down boxes all it list is a connection on access with .mdb and all files. When I try all files and pick the accdb data I get the "Couldn't connect with data sorce c:blahblah/bills.accdb.mdb. This an error or am I just totally off the mark? Any help would be appreciated.
