How To Edit A SQL Server Table From MS Access?
Apr 30, 2007
Hi guys,
I need provide some of my users an easy way of accessing a SQL Server table through MS Access so that
they can edit the table.
Please let me know which of the following is more appropriate to accomplish this task.
1. Creating a Data Access Page
2. Creating a Link Table
I thought I could it do it though a Data Access Page but I was only able to see the data but not edit it. But, I
know there is a way of doing this. Please throw some light on this topic.
Thanks a lot for your time.
Regards,
-RL.

HI all,
I'm just posting this to make sure I didn't mess anything.
Is the only way to enter/edit table data (in grid view) is through the VS (Express) IDE?
The reason why I ask is because I installed the Sql Server 2008 developer trial to get the Management Studio and pretty much the only things I can do are create/edit/delete databases, tables and the like.
It would be nice for the Management Studio (and Express at that) to have those capabilites. It would be nice to not have to create connections in the VS IDE to diffferent databases to edit them. Opening up the Management Studio and selecting the database seems like the proper (if not accustomed) way to do it.
Thanks,
JB

This is a basic, remedial question, but I've no experience whatsoever with SQL server or Access (although I'm familiar with basic DB concepts). Even so, I have inherited this project because no one else will take it (besides, I like the challenge of learning something new :-). If I understand correctly, I can use Access 2000 to create and edit DBs on my SQL 7 server, and to run queries. This is done by creating a WBEM ODBC connector (I have no idea how this is done). I'm pretty good at figuring things out on my own, but I sure would appreciate being pointed in the right direction. What I'd like to know is first of all, am I on the right track, and secondly, what do you all recommend as a good source of info on this topic (the Microsoft web site, technet, manuals?).
All info is greatly appreciated.
thanx,

We are using MS Access as a front end to a SQL Server 6.5
Database using ODBC & linking tables in Access.
We are unable to edit certain records using access. We
get the following error message:
"This record has been changed by another user since you started
editing it. If you save the record, you will overwrite the changes
the other user made.
Copying the changes to the clipboard will let you look at the values
the other user entered, and then paste your changes back in if you
decide to make changes."
What the message says is untrue in our case. Worse, there is
no way to recover and have the desired change posted. This error
occurs only with certain records. This error occurs when there are
no locks active (and only 1 client logged in).
I am inclined to think that this error may be the fault of ODBC.
Updating the same change directly into ISQL works fine. SQL Server Permissions
have beeen checked & double checked.
If you have suggestions as to how this error can be rectified, please contact
me:

Is there a way to specify a MS Access table (or query object) in the select query of SQL Server.
Ex.:
MSAccessTable (in file.mdb)
col1
col2
a1
a2
b1
b2
SQL query in SQL Server:
SELECT col1, col2 into SqlTable from [file.mdb].MSAccessTable;

I have a table with data in it. Now I want to change the Data Type from int to varchar. Is there anyway to do this because I don't want to delete all the data and re-enter it. That seems to be the only way I can see to change the data type. I would appreciate some help. thanks.

I read on this forum that it is possible to move a device by:
Update the sysdevices table to point to the new location (ex: D:SQLTESTDB.DAT)
Stop the SQL Server
Physically move the file to the new location
Restart the SQL Server.
How can I update sysdevices table?

Hi. I am not sure why, but i can't change any of the values in my Table Designer. I want to change my primary key's "IsIdentity" value to "yes" and the Identity Increment to "1" but everything is greyed out and nothing is editable. Please help! I am not in debug/run mode when i am editing these values. I have a feeling that I am going to feel stupid when somebody points out what i am (not) doing. So, any takers?

Hi guys,
I'm having a bit of a nightmare with MS SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager(running on XP Pro SP2).
Basically I've been running it on my laptop and my desktop with no problems for months and suddenly I can't seem to edit any data in any table?
Basically I'm using Enterprise manager to connect the database which is hosted externally by Fasthosts. I've called them and explain the problem, they told me to increase my Query Timeout to 300 seconds, which I have done but still no joy.
I can open and query tables but when i simply open a table and return all rows, even the smallest of tables (i.e. just 2 rows) as soon as I try and edit even just a field containing a bit of data is just hangs for about a minute until I get the following error;
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication link failure
I've again called Fasthosts who assure me that it was working at their end etc and that was about all they could do !! very helpful...
Anyways, does anyone have any ideas ? As I really need to edit some data in the tables for a deadline and this is extremely frustating as it was working just a few days before. I've tried removing SQL server and re-installing but I'm still getting the same problem.
Any help/ideas would be massively appreciated !!
Many thanks
Jon

I need to edit a column (PK - GUID) from "Row is GUID = False) to (Row is GUID = True). I get a DLL internal error.
I hate to drop the table & recreate from scratch...wish you could edit in SSMSE.
Also, I used sync services to create the SDF, you would think that it would be the same as the MDF (just a gripe...sorry )

SQL 2005 Express

I have a database with tables that are used for various front-ends, Access 97 and ASP. All of a sudden, my "Stores" table will not let me add, edit, delete, insert records. I checked security permissions everywhere and cannot figure out why this is happening. Is there something linked to this that might be running a process that might be causing this?
TIA,
Bruce

Hi!I am able to add records to my SQL 2005 database using bound forms in myAccess application, but if I try to edit any records (not only the newrecords I create) using the same bound forms, I receive a write conflict.For the record, I am currently the only user of this application and my SQLServer database has only one userID. I used this userID to create all ofthe objects in the database and to connect to the database from Access. Thedata sources for the bound forms are linked tables, the record source typeis set to "Dynaset" and the record locks are set to "No Locks". "Opendatabases using record-level locking" is checked.The write error says that another user has changed the current record sinceit was opened (since I'm currently the only user this isn't possible) andasks me to copy my changes to the clipboard or drop the changes.Can anyone suggest what might be causing this? Thanks!

Hi everyone, this is is my first post, so please reply and help.
I'm working on a project right now that uses asp 2.0 and SQL server 2005 express edition. This is a general idea of the project. In our company some of us receive ECO notifications (engineering change orders) for our products and we need to implement these to the test scripts that are on the production floor. So the project is about entering the new ECO into a database which will send an automatic notification to our test team. When they receive the notification they will have to sign in to the website and introduce their login and password to sign off the ECO (Following some checkpoints already defined by me, for example, Area ready, Test script modification necessary, new firmware introduction, comments, etc...) but I also need to record WHO and WHEN sign that ECO. We have 3 different test areas in our factory: Electrical, Functional and Systems, so all THREE areas must be signed off in order to the ECO go to a IMPLEMENTED state (at this point i need to send a new email saying that the eco has been implemented in all three areas).
So far I've completed the following things:
-users validation (logins, areas)
-New custom entry form for the ECOs and automatic email notification (part of what I did is described below). Dim ECODataSource As New SqlDataSource()ECODataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ECO_ICSConnectionString1").ToString()
ECODataSource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.StoredProcedure
ECODataSource.InsertCommand = "EcoNew"
ECODataSource.InsertParameters.Add("EcoNumber", EcoNumberTextBox.Text)
ECODataSource.InsertParameters.Add("EcoDescription", EcoDescriptionTextBox.Text)
ECODataSource.InsertParameters.Add("EcoMandatory", EcoMandatoryDropDownList.Text)
-Depending on which test area is the the engineering from, I can filter the ECOs and just shows the ones that their test area is pending. (using GridView)
But I'm stuck right now when the engineers have to sign the ECO for their test areas. I was able to use the Gridview and DetailsView to EDIT most of the things that I need. But there are somethings that I don't like:
1. When using the EDIT option on Gridview or Detailsview, all fields can be edited including ECO number, description and mandatory, which I don't want them to change. If I set those columns to read only, when editing that row again. It gives me an error that says that the ECOnumber can't be NULL, but if I remove these 3 columns the Engineer will not know which ECO they have sign. They are only going to be able to see the EcoId, which doesn't say much.
2. Also I saw that I wasn't able to do is to enter the USER login and CURRENT system date and time automatically. I don't want them to manually enter the date and their login manually.
3. Finally, when the last area signs the ECO, I want to update that record and set a flag that tells me that the ECO has been completed.
So what I really want is to create some sort of form (textboxes, labels, checkboxes, etc.) that will UPDATE the selected ECO from the gridview for instance. So when I select the row from the GridView, It will show the data (Econumber, description and mandatory as READ ONLY) and use the rest of the things as INPUT for the engineer to complete. At the end an "update button" and when I click it, It will enter/update the data on that specific row, but including the time and user login as well.
Also to check if the other 2 areas have signed and if so, change the ECOReadiness flag to 1 and send the email.
Is there a code like the one I used above to do this ? Or if you think there a better way to do this, I'll be very glad to hear it.
I'm new using sql and asp, so If i'm asking some dumb questions please forgive me. .
Here's my table definition for your reference:
EcoId - primary key.
EcoNumber
EcoDescription
EcoMandatory
EcoReadiness <- Flag for the entire ECO, when ALL 3 areas have signed, this will be 1.
ATE < - Flag for Electrical area.
ATEscripts < - Just a Yes/no input.
ATEengineer <- user login
ATEdatetimestamp <- Date.Now()
FAT < - Flag for functional.
FATscripts
FATengineer
FATdatetimestamp
SYSTEMS < - Flag for systems.
SYSTEMSscripts
SYSTEMSengineer
SYSTEMSdatetimestamp
THANKS IN ADVANCE,
Regards,
Jesus

Hi all,
Hopefully I am posting this question in the correct forum. I am still learning about SQL 2005. Here is my issue. I have an access db that I archive weekly into and SQL server table. I have used the dst wizard to create an import job and initally that worked fine. field I have as the primary key in the access db cannot be the primary key in the sql table since I archive weekly and that primary key field will be imported several time over. I overcame this initally by not having a primary key in the sql table. This table is strictly for reference. However, now I need to setup a unique field for each of the records in the sql table. What I have done so far is create a recordID field in the sql table that is an int and set as yes to Identify (auotnumber). That worked great and created unique id for all existing records. The problem now is on the import. When I try to import the access table i am getting an error because of the extra field in the sql table, and the error is saying cannot import null value into this field. So... my final question is how can I import the access table into the sql table with one extra field which is the autonumber unique field? Thanks a bunch for any asistance.
Bill

Strange one here - I am posting this in both SQL Server and Access forums
Access is telling me it can't append any of the records due to a key violation.
The query:
INSERT INTO dbo_Colors ( NameColorID, Application, Red, Green, Blue )
SELECT Colors_Access.NameColorID, Colors_Access.Application, Colors_Access.Red, Colors_Access.Green, Colors_Access.Blue
FROM Colors_Access;
Colors_Access is linked from another MDB and dbo_Colors is linked from SQL Server 2000.
There are no indexes or foreign contraints on the SQL table. I have no relationships on the dbo_ table in my MDB. The query works if I append to another Access table. The datatypes all match between the two tables though the dbo_ tables has two additional fields not refrenced in the query.
I can manually append the records using cut and paste with no problems.
I have tried re-linking the tables.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brad

Sometimes I want to quickly to edit a record in a table instead of using an insert statement.
Sometimes there are auditing columns like DateCreated, and CreatedBy,
I know it can be made as default. for DateCreated to be sysdatetime, and createdby to be system user.
But I just curious to know if there is a way to manually enter today's date and the user in the cell?

I found that when I install MSDE, then I can create/edit database objects for MSDE database in Visual Studio 2003 Server Explorer, but when I try to create/edit database objects under the default database created by the SQL Server 2000 installation, I cannot do these tasks as no option for these tasks appear when I right-click on the database object in Server Explorer. Anyone knows why this is happening?

I have SQL 2000 server machine on our network.
I can connect to our existing SQL database and display data from tables etc, but when I try and edit the data using the detailsView it wont let me. No error msg, it just does not update the field.
However if I create a new record using the detailsView, I can edit it.
Its just older records that were created previously that it wont let me edit.
Is this a bug?, A compatibility issue?, Any Ideas?

I'm trying to open an SDF file. After many searches on the net, it appears that there are two ways to do this:
Open the file in VS 2005
Open the file in SQL Server Management StudioI don't have, and don't plan to purchase, a license to full SQL Server 2005. I do have Visual Studio 2005 Pro. When I open an SDF file in Visual Studio, I get the following (oh so informative) error:
The operation could not be completed. Unspecified error
Since I don't have full SQL server, I downloaded SQL Server Management Studio Express. There's one major problem: the Server type combo box is disabled in the "Connect to Server" dialog. Try as I might, I can find no mention anywhere as to why this is the case. I'm guessing that functionality isn't supported in the Express version of the tool, but as far as I can tell, nobody thinks it might perhaps be reasonable to document why this combo box is disabled. It certainly doesn't show up in the document that shows up when I click the help button on this dialog.
Could somebody at Microsoft please tell me if it is even possible to edit these files without buying a full SQL Server license? I'm trying to use SQL Server Compact Edition to replace legacy code that uses an MDB file (via ADO) for a desktop application. From everything I have read, this is the officially recommended thing to do. But if I now have to buy a full SQL Server lincense to accomplish what used to be a simple double click on an MDB file, then there's something seriously wrong.

Hello!
We have a SQL Server table that needs to be maintained by the actuarial department. Therefore, I was going to have them make changes to the table using something easy like Microsoft Access 2000. When I go into Access and create an ODBC link to the table, I cannot change the data. (i.e. The insert new record feature is greyed out.) I CAN change the data via Enterprise Manager, so I don't think it is SQL Server security. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Sharon

Hi all,
Please bear with me because I am brand new to SQL Server, and I may not be using the correct wording to explain everything...
I`m using Access 97 to upload a table to a SQL Server 6.5 database. I also have SQL Enterprise Manager. The allocated space on the SQL Server for my database is 20 MB and the space for my database log file is 4 MB. The first time I tried to upload a table to the database, I got the following error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Can`t allocate space for object "syslogs` in database `testpropcontdb` because the `logsegment` segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment (#1105)
I went into the Enterprise Manager and right clicked on my database and selected edit. It shows that I have 19.89 of the 20 MB free, and all 4 MB of my log space free.
When I select GET EXTERNAL DATA -> LINK TABLES from the FILE menu in Access, and link to the table I just uploaded to SQL Server, the structure (field names and attributes) is there, even though I got that error message earlier. There is just no data being uploaded.
Could someone please point me in the right direction? I`ve been reading help files and searching the net, but I haven`t figured out what is causing this error message.
Thanks in advance for lending your expertise.

Hi,
is it possible to enable a user to perform changes on some SQL Server tables,
but to disable the changes on the same tables via MS Access for this user?
E.g. I can change a table on SQL Server, and me and some other users access the table via MS Access. I disabled the changes on the table by other users in general, only I can perform changes.
But I also want to disable the changes for myself if I view the table in MS Access.
Thanks
