Hi All
My manager told me to link SQL Server database tables to access so that he can access the tables in MSAccess to do his SQL queries.
I am thinking of linking server but I am not sure about that.
Is someone can tell me what to do and explain me how.
Thanks in advance
Sincerely.
David
When trying to link to an SQL table in Access 2003, the software appears to be malfunctioning.
The sequence of events is File - Get External Data - Link Tables - Files of Type: ODBC Databases().
The Problem: On two of my computers, the select data source window does not pop up, preventing me from linking to any ODBC data source.
Observations: This function has worked normally in the recent past and works on other computers running Access 2003. One difference between the computers working and non-working computers is Norton Antivirus 2006 (recent upgrade).
Has anyone experienced anything like this? What's going on?
we recently got a scenario that we need to get the data from oracle tables which is installed on third party servers. we have sqlserver installed on ourservers. so they have created a DBLINK in oracle server to our sqlserver and published the DBLINK name.
what are the next steps that i need to follow on my sqlserver in order to access the oracle tables ?
Anyone has any idea why I havethis problem?
I have a SQL 2K database on a named instance with tables populated with data and they have no relations between them.
I have a MS Access 2000 database.
I have a system ODBC connection on the client computer to the SQL 2K using trusted connection.
I linked the tables into MS Access 2000 to SQL 2K and I can read the data without any problem.
When I try to update the data on the table, I get the message : The recordset is not updatable.
I am the DBO. So I am supposed to have all rights. All the select, update, insert and DRI rights are enabled.
I tried it with another user and it does not work either.
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks
Hi All, I have recently moved jobs. From my last job I created a holiday database for the organisation, than I copied it on a storage device. Now, in my new job I would like to use same database.

Can some one please helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp I as I am really very desperate.
Thanks in advance.
Access Connection
create a new Connection Manager by right-clicking in the Connection Managers section of the design area of the screen. Select New OLE DB Connection to bring up the Configure OLE DB Connection Manager dialog box. Click New to open the Connection Manager. In the Provider drop-down list, choose the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider and click OK.
Browse to the Access database file and connection set up---all good!!!
Dataflow task
Add an OLE DB Source component
Double-click the icon to open the OLE DB Source Editor. Set the OLE DB Connection Manager property to the Connection Manager that I created . Select Table from the Data Access Mode drop-down list.
I cannot see the tables set up as set up as pass-through table types to a Oracle 9i db
Any ideas please help
thanks in advance

I have created a link server in SQL Server 2005 to connect to Oracle 7.3. The driver in link server is MS-OLEDB. I have created a dynamic procedure in SQL Server 2005 using OpenQuery method to connect to Oracle. When I execute this procedure in SQL this gives me the results I want from Orcale.
In SSRS 2005, I am calling this procedure with the schema name.When I do Refresh,this should automatically list me the Parameters I am using in procedure. It is NOT listing me the AUTOMATIC generation of parameters.
Please help..

Hello,
I was hoping someone had this problem and has a solution... :)
Some background info:
SQL 2005 Enterprise x64
Windows 2003 R2 x64 Enterprise (clustered)
Oracle client 10.2.0.3 (latest as of 2/2/07)
The issue I'm having is I have a link server setup within SQL 2005 connecting to a Oracle 8 database server. The Oracle client I'm using is 10.2.0.3 (latest version from Oracle). From the SQL 2005 server I'm able to query the remote oracle server through the link server I had setup if I query the table directly. If I perform a query to a view on the Oracle server I'm able to see the colum names, but not the data. This only happens when I'm using the Oracle client, if I use the MS client for Oracle it works fine OR if I use SQL Plus.
Now, you're probally asking, why not just use MS's driver... Well, I would If I could, but Microsoft hasn't provided a 64 bit driver for Oracle which I need to create the link server in SQL.
Any help would be appreciated.
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.
Thanks

I have a problem that I want to solve by linking MS Access to SQL Server 2000 or 2005.
The problem is a 3 party MS Access '97 application that is no longer supported so a new system is currently being built in SQL Server. The Access database has a UI for small amounts of input and viewing but most of the work is done through a WaveLink application. The Wavelink application allows users on the shop floor via wireless devices to pick and count product which then updates Access. There has always been record locking issues that caused some delays at the wireless devices but nothing dramatic. Until now. The wireless network and wireless devices have been upgraded and now record locking (I presume that whats causing the problems) is now causing large productivity delays requiring constant intervention.
The Wavelink application is also being updated from VB6 to VB.Net to work with the new SQL Server application. One of the requests from the client is that the Wavelink upgrade somehow fix the problem with the Access database.
My idea was to link the Access database to a SQL Server so that the wireless devices go through SQL Server to Access hopefully taking the load off Access. Is this possible? Would SQL Server prevent the record locks and provide a better multi user environment or is that something that is inherent in OLEDB Jet and linking is not going to circumvent this problem?

I have recently migrated from Access to SQL Server. I have come across a strange problem. I have got a table in my database whihc is not linked to any other table, but does include data and is used from time to time for reports. It is more used as a sort of lookup table. Now I had the frontend in Access and I have retained it. So I connect all the SQL Server tables via ODBC to Access. The problem with this table is for some reason it wont allow to add new records on Access side. You can just view the contents, but cannot add anything to it e.g a new record, etc. I tried giving explicit permissions of Select, Insert, update, etc. but still no result. There are other look up tables as well, that have the same problem. Can anybody tell me why this is so and is there any way to fix it?

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post this question but thought I would start here.
I have an Access link to live SQL data. We have since migrated to a new physical server and new logical server name.
My question then is, how can I edit the pre-existing Access link to the live SQL data/database and make changes so that the new server is taken into consideration?
Thanks in advance.
Hello All,
I am new to this forum and hope that some one can help me with this problem.
I know that in MS Access you can have a linked table in your databse such that as long a the like is not broken, it behaves similar to any other table in the database.
My problem is that I need to do the same thing for multiple databases that I have on a MS SQL Server that ALL currently have copies of the same table in common.
I wish to have a single table that they all share and have access to just link any other table that they currently have but is actually linked.
Can this be done?
And if so, then could someone please guide me in this?
My logic is that if MS Access can link tables then I could suspect that MS SQL Server should be able to also, but I could be wrong.
Thanks in advance,
Lonnie
I have upsized an Access database into SQL Server and manged to getthe data in place ok. The wizard created an Access Project which Ihave started to modify.However, I am also trying to get data from an AS/400. Specifically fora currency/exchange rate file. I only want ot copy the records sincethe last copy otherwise there are a vast number of records.I have created a linked server to the AS/400 within SQL Server, andcreated a view, within my specific database which allows me to look atall the data in the table.However, my problem is that I want a VB routine, in the AccessProject, which lets me copy out specic records from the view into atable within the SQL Server database. Any clues?????My oroginal code used a link to the AS/400 and the folowing code:-s = "INSERT into zacjdf00 "s = s + "select CJCNCD, CJD5E9, CJCUCD, CJD5FF, CJD5FG, CJD5FH,CJD5FI, CJD5FJ, CJD5FK "s = s + "from XGHLDTM_ZACJDF00 "s = s + "where "s = s + "CJD5E9 = '" & group & "'"DoCmd.RunSQL (s)group is preset in the VB code.

The memory couldnot be read.Althoug the transform task for one of the files will run, the otherwill not run giving the messageError Source: DTS packageCatastrophic failureAlso, I have an Access database that has links to the same dBasefiles. For files from dBF2 folder, I'm able to see the data from oneof the files, but if I double click to see the data from the other,access crashes with no specific error message. Nothing has changed ondBase related files (permission wise).The transform tasks to extract data from the other dBase folder (dBF1)files are working fine, and data is accesible from Access.Any advice how to tackle this one?

If I define a table-valued function in a SQL Server 2005 database, can I link to it from Access 2003 using ODBC?
I've defined the function successfully, and I can link from Access to tables in the database (so my ODBC link is basically functioning), but I can't see the table-valued function in the Linked Table Manager in Access.
I can define a pass-through query to grab the table, but with a pass-through query I have to provide the ODBC password every time.
What am I missing?
Suggestions?

I'm pulling data from XML into tables, but I'm unsure how to link the data after it's imported. This example has names and tasks, and I can pull the data into two tables, but I can't find any way to link the task to the appropriate person. My person and task tables populate without issue, but there's nothing I can find to link the rows together. So in this example Test 1 would go to the first two Tasks and Test 2 would go to the second two work items.
DECLARE @XML TABLE (XMLData XML);
DECLARE @Person Table (Name NVARCHAR(50), Addresss NVARCHAR(50));
DECLARE @Task Table (Name NVARCHAR(50), Details NVARCHAR(50));
INSERT INTO @XML SELECT '
