I was given a dts file to look at based on the Northwinds DB. The file was not password protected and comes from a SQL Server Configured exactly like mine. Is there a way to open this file in the DTS design window? I could not find anything in BOL or help.
Thanks
I am running my package in sql server 2012, in which i am giving network path for flat file destination. And its working fine. But if i give m local path, its giving me  error " cannot open data file" ...
Nothing is wrong with package.
I have used the copy database wizard, but I realized I had forgotten to shrink the transaction log file. So I canceled the wizard. My database, detached by the wizard, has now disappeared. The mdf file is still there, but when I try to attach it manually I get the "create file encountered operating system error 5 while attempting to open the physical file..." error.
Any way I can recover it?
Thanks.
Unable to open the physical mdf file or log file because it is being used by another process
I am trying to write a Windows Application using ASP.NET 2.0, C#2005 EXPRESS, and SQL 2005 EXPRESS.
I had followed the introductory video to create a connection to the Database using Windows Authentication, and use the wizard to create a dataset and checking all the tables in the database.
After that I dragged a table from the data source created from the above process. The Details Grid so created is able to perform update, delete and addition of records.
But when I went back to the database at my PC I wasn€™t able to connect to the database. And if I opened the database first and then load the windows application and perform some database operations and went back to the physical database I wasn€™t able to open the tables in the database.
The error message is that the physical database connection cannot open the .mdf file or log file because another process is using the database. I guess it refers to the Windows Application.
Is this normal? Will it have any implications after the application is deployed? I suppose that there isn€™t a scenario where a Windows application and a physical process will access the database at the same time.
Will appreciate some feedback and advice on this scenario and whether it is a problem.
Thanks and regards

I want to start by saying I know virtually nothing about SQL Server.
I work for a website and have an old database of ours. It was exported in Sql Server 2008. It has 3 files an mdf file, a secondary data file, and a transaction log file.
When I try to attach I get an error, and the error is 5173 stating "One or more files do not match the primary file or the database." I have looked at the top 20 results for this error in a Google search and have found nothing. I just want to get in and look at some of the data, run a few basic queries.

Hi,
We are using VS 2005 with SQL Server Mobile Edition. We created the .sdf file on the desktop and added this file to our VS project and set the Build Action to content. Next we deployed our app on Symbol PDA which has Windows CE 5.0 as the OS. We followed the following steps:
1. Deploy the app.
2. Install .NET CF 2.0
3. System_SR_ENU.CAB
4. sqlce30.wce5.armv4i.CAB
5. sqlce30.dev.ENU.wce5.armv4i.CAB
6. sqlce30.repl.wce5.armv4i.CAB
We now tried to double-click the .sdf file in PDA to open in QA3 but we get error.:
Error: 0x80004005 E_FAIL
Native Error (0)
Description: Interface defining error: IID_IDBInitialize
Param. 0:0
Param. 1:0
Param. 2:0
Param. 3:
Param. 4:
Param. 5:
What could be the issue?
Because of this, we unable to run the app since in our login form, this database is not available and hence we cannot proceed.

I am fairly new to ASP.NET and MSSQL but when I run my website with memberships and roles everything seems to work perfectly!! NO PROBLEMS!! However when I try to go and actually open the ASPNETDB.MDF database file that was automatically created by VB when I added a login and sign up panel I get this Error Message
"An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsoxMy DocumentsMy Webs nsApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I don't really know why I can't open this file. I have someone who is going to help with some extra database work but asked if I could open this database so he could see the structure of it. I have a copy of the website as backup in another folder on my computer but even removing that backup does nothing in helping open the original. THANKS PLEASE HELP!

Has anyone tried Open File Manager to backup SQL 7? I'm in the middle of an evaluation (and all is going well), so I wanted to get other's opinions before I purchase.
I tried their 5.x product a year ago, and it didn't work. But V6 has been just what they toted (it worked, no questions asked).

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am trying to open a file on a network drive from a report. The file's location that I need to open is stored in the db for each record. I have tried using javascript to open a new window using the File:/// prefix. I have been able to open a new windows and navigate to a URL in this fashion by using a javascript window.open call and placing it in the navigation tab of the textbox. When I try this with a file, however, I get an access denied message. I was thinking to try opening the file by using the System.Diagnostic.Process.Start() method from code, but I'm not sure how to wire that up to the OnClick event of the textbox on the report. Does anyone have any ideas?
Hi,
Using ssis, is it possible to refresh the data inside an excel file which is sitting on a separate machine (i.e. machine B) on the network?
When I try this using the importy wizard, the error message is:
The microdoft jet database engine can not open the file \pathnamedata.xls. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view it's data.
I have checked and the file is closed. No excel is running when checking the processes.
I have given myself full permission on that file from that machine where data.xls is sitting.
Thanks
Hi,
I wrote a VB code to generate a xls file. Users are able to run it fine but if they have another file with same name already open, then it just crashes excel.
So I want to include a code that checks if file "file.xls" is open on user's machine.
If file is open, then message "file "File.xls" is already open. Generating File_1.xls"
Run the code but create the file with file name "file_1.xls"
If file doesn't exist, then run code and create file with file name "File.xls"
So basically I want the code to run and generate the file. Only difference is that if file with same name is already open, then just rename the newly created file.
Here's the code I've created for generating the file:
Public Function getrmpricing()
Dim queryoption As String
Dim ans, Msg As String
Dim fs As Object
Dim sTemplateFile As String
Dim e_TemplateFile As String
On Error Resume Next
sTemplateFile = g_dashboard & "crm proposal input.XLT"
e_TemplateFile = "C:"
If Forms!rmpricingdataform!BU = "CS" Then
MsgBox "No template available for CS!", vbOKOnly, "RM Pricing Report"
Else
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.CopyFile sTemplateFile, e_TemplateFile, True
Dim xl As New Excel.Application
xl.Workbooks.Open e_TemplateFile & "crm proposal input.XLT"
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "CustPricingbyRMCrosstabquery", acFormatXLS, "c:customerpricing.xls", True
Dim xs As New Excel.Application
xs.Workbooks("customerpricing").Activate
xs.ActiveWorkbook.Activate
Select Case Forms!rmpricingdataform!BU
Case "CRM"
xl.Run "'crm proposal input.XLT'!CRM_CAPSPriceTemplate.CRM_CAPSPriceTemplate"
End Select
'xs.Workbooks.CLOSE - NEWLY COMMENTED OUT
xl.Workbooks("crm proposal input.XLT").CLOSE
'xl.Workbooks("crmpricing.xls").Save - NEVER USED
'fs.DeleteFile e_TemplateFile & "crm proposal input.XLT", True - NEWLY COMMENTED OUT
Set fs = Nothing

Hi..
I have a website in which the user uploads a text file to the webserver. and then i am calling a stored procedure which loads the data into the staging database using bulk copy. since my sql database and the web server are in different machines but on the same domain.. i am accessing the .txt file from the stored procedure by giving http://Ipaddress/ApplicationName/Directory/plan.txt
and the format file using the same address i.e http://Ipaddress/ApplicationName/Directory/plan.fmt
But when i press ctrl + click on the text file it take me to that location but when i do the same for the format file it says the page cannot be found.. Since it cannot access the .fmt file my import doesnt work.
Any help will be appreicated..
Thank you,

Hi, i'm trying to interface a c# application with an sql database created with Visual Web Developer Express.
I have published the site (and the db) on iis 5 (xp pro).
Everithing goes fine on accessing the database from internet,but when i try to connect the db while it's opened with my c# program i keep an error in the sqlconnection open command:
Unable to open the physical file "C:myApp_Datamydb.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The file is in use by another process.)".
My connection string from webconfig:
<add name="MYDBCS" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Database="C:myApp_Datamydb.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
.....and the connection string for the c# program:
"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Database=c:myapp_datamydb.mdf;Integrated Security=False;Connect Timeout=30;User ID=abc;Password=abc;Trusted_Connection=False;";
I have used a user to connect the database because there was a conflict trying to open the db with Integrated Security=True.
Does anyone have an idea where is the error?
Many thanks

Using SQL Server 2005 Express SP2.
Scenario : I have VC++ 2005 Express IDE open and use the database explorer to browse tables in a database. Then I open SQL Server Managament Studio Express and try to browse the same database. I get "Unable to open the physical file ... The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".
What is this "other process" that is trying to open the file? I thought the whole point of a database server was that clients talk to the server, and the server accesses the physical file. So only one process should be accessing the file. Do VC++ IDE and SSMSE work directly with the physical file, or do they channel their requests, etc. through the server.
Or is it something completly different?
Thanks,
Russel Dirks
