Hi,
I need some help in setting up a front end IIS box and back end SQL 2005 box. I will be using merge replication.
Front end server will be a 32 bit.
How exactly do you do this? Anyone have any links to articles that walks through the setup?
Thanks,

Dear Friends,
We have MS Access database with Forms and Reports, which was started 10 years ago by users and now the data is growing very rapidly.
Did anyone tried by having MS Access as front end and SQL Server 2000/2005 as backend with minimum modifications to the forms and reports in MS Access?
Please let me know, your ideas and if there are any links in the web or in Microsoft please provide here.
Thanks in advance,
I have a back-end front-end application in MS Access. Instead of using MS Access queries it gets data via recordsets generated from SQL scripts in VBA routines.
I'm planning to upgrade it to use SQL Server as the back-end. However I need to retain the alternative option of using a file based back-end. (It currently has the capacity to be switched between alternative Access .mdb back-end files.) Is there any information available on how to do this and on how to get Access to synchronize between SQL Server and SQL Server CE back-ends? (Eventually the application will be migrated to VB.NET, but that is a long way down the track.)

Hi Guys
We are trying desperately to get away from Access (ADP) and move on to something else. SQL Server 2005 is the engine and Access is the front end. We desperatley need another front end. We torn between FoxPro or going Web Bassed. Can whats a good application tool that will asssit me in making our Databases webbased??
In my procedure have one insert one update
when i run the procedure i am not getting any errors
when i call that procedure from front end i am getting this message
“Implicit conversion from data type ntext to varchar is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.�
Please help me for this
Hi,
I'm not sure if this question should be in this thread but anyway...
I have a form (Mricosoft Access front end) in which the user enter a Pending Date in one of the fields. The date is populated into my backend (SQL Server) withouht problems.
Whenever the issue which had the pending date in the field is resolved I'd like to delete this date from this field and also from the back end. At the moment I'm not being able to pass the "value" Null to my back end (probably because it's a datetime type). I've searched the net throughout and I couldn't find a way around it. Only found solution to when the data is not date but numbers/letters, etc... Any ideas on how can I sort this out?
Many thanks

I have a database being built that has a java front end, a SQL 2000 back end, and most of my clients are win98, will this work ok?? And if not do I need to upgrade to all w2k?
Thanks for any information.

Hi all :
I hope this is an easy one for some of you - this is the scenario :
1) I have an Access Application that has been upsized to SQL
2) We are now replicating it with a second office
3) When we started doing the Merge Replication, the ROWGUID was added to each table
4) When we attempt to add a new record to the table, it allows us to add 3 fields, then the record 'jumps' to the indexed location of the ROWGUID
5) The 'jump' is undesirable as we then have to resort the table by key and finish its input.
5) We have our own primary identity field that SQL seems to be ignoring.
Any help would be really great
How can I configure a front end Access 2000 Database using Microsoft SQL 2000 as a back end environment? Could anybody help me by telling me what are the steps under SQL? Thanks everyone in advance.

View 5 Replies View RelatedDoes anybody know of a way to rollback SQL Server 2005
databases back to SQL Server 2000? Is there a way of doing it without
resorting to Copy Database Wizard? I love to find a way of attaching a SS 2005 database
to a SS 2000 instance without any issues.
I recently upgraded to SS 2005 and I am very unhappy with the SS 2005 and I
want to rollback to SS 2000, which was a lot more stable. I am having
several major issues that are affecting my whole company's day-to-day
operations and the managers are not happy. Some of the issues include
night time batch running very sluggish for no apparent reason. This is a
biggest problem because it only occurs once or so a week and causes a disturbance
with the daily activities when the night time processing isn€™t completed on
time. The rest of the time, the batch processing runs great, even a little better then on SS 2000. I
don't believe it is a matter of my application needing to be retuned because if
that was the case, then why isn't it running sluggish every night? Also,
it's never the same day that the sluggish behavior occurs. If it was occurring
on the same night, then I would have something to investigate within our
application, but it doesn't. Another issue that I am having involves a
night time job that restores a copy of the production database to the Data
Warehouse server to be used for updating the data warehouse. Again, most
of the time it runs great (~2 1/2 hours), but once or twice a week, it goes
stupid and takes 6 1/2 hours for no apparent reason. Again, it is not happening
the same day either, which could give me something to invesigate. On SS 2000, this same job ran flawlessly. Never I did I run into situation that the
database restoration took that long to run. Even another issue involves a SQL Server Agent Job that was put into suspended
state. What's a suspended state and how can I get it out of suspended
state? I can find no information about suspended state in BOL. I
did a Google and nothing came up. If this suspended state was put
in for security reasons, great, but then tell me how I can remove the suspended
state. I am also not happy with the
fact that I can't get accurate information about the queries that are actively
running at that particular moment. In SS 2000, when I noticed high CPU
usage on the server, I would run the sp_who2 active stored proc and it would
show me all the active thread and how much CPU it was consuming. I would
then find the running threads with the highest CPU numbers and investigate the
query and see if we could improve it. Now in SS 2005, I get in the same
situation and run the sp_who2 stored proc, and there is no smoking gun.
All of the active threads are showing very little CPU usage, which I am very
suspect of. What the heck happen to sp_who2? I looked at some of
the other ways of looking at running processes (i.e... sys.sysprocesses) and
they don't appear to be giving the information that I need.
I am very unhappy and I just want to roll back to SS 2000 and wait a couple of
years before I upgrade to SS 2005.

I am running a number of SQL instances on my PC. Within the network, I have think server with various System Center components. For compatibility reasons, some features of System Center 2012 R2 had to be delegated to different SQL databases. My question is, because there is now more than one IP address on my system, and each instance of SQL is assigned to its own IP, is there a way to setup DNS and SQL so the namespace points to the desired IP address? For Instance:
MSSQL2008 instance is set to run on = 11.12.13.1
MSSQL2012 is set to run on = 11.12.13.2
IN DNS:
A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.1
A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.2
If I want to use MSSQL2008 by specifying Mike-PC as the DNS name, how would I do that with 100% accuracy? If there is another way to get the job done, I am more than willing to approach this differently.
Below is a post by blindman from my other "mentoring" thread (http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?t=1608569). I wanted to respond to it but not in that thread:
Yeah, but if he's going to go unbound he might as well develop in .Net rather than Access. You lose half the convenience of MSAccess as a front end if you use unbound forms and controls.
Besides, he's trying to learn SQL Server, not front-end development. Learning both at the same time may be a bit much. I'd suggest he stick with his idea of converting the Access database to SQL Server back-end.
But, you should definitely convert the Access front-end to a Microsoft Access Data Project, rather than a classic mdb file.
Going unbound would increase your application performance, but probably not noticably unless you have scores of uses, and since you are currently using straight MS Access I'd guess you have no more than five or six simultaneous users, right?

To start I have decided that ADO is the way to go even though I don't necessarily need the performance boost for my current situation. Keep in mind I am planning for future and more demanding opportunities, hopefully :) And I'd like to learn the "right" way to do things.
I actually use ADO quite a bit in my current DB app and bound controls as well so it really wasn't a new concept. However using strictly ADO produces alot more work and code. And like blindman says it pretty much takes all the ease of Access away and VB.NET for that matter too. I mean all the wizards are useless. So I have two questions:
1. When going to all ADO you are pretty much recreating what Access already does for you right? Coding in ADO is more work right? I mean you have to setup connections and fill fields and listboxes manually in code right? I don't mind the extra work I just want to make sure if I'm going to be doing all this extra coding that it is the right thing to be doing.
2. MDB vs. ADP - From what little I've read Access Data Projects are made for use with SQL Server. It is even more useful if you don't/can't actually work in SQL Server. But again if I'm using ADO it strips all the usefulness of the ADP's doesn't? I don't need ADP's to create views or sprocs. I can do all of that through the management studio. So does it really matter if I use an ADP or MDB as my front end if that is all it is going to be is a front end?
Lastly I wanted to use VB 2005 as the front end but we utilize a ton of reports. As far as I know Crystal Reports or something like it has to be used with VB 2005. Or does VB 2005 have some built in reporting capabilities? I thought I saw some report designer for VB6. Anyway I decided to stick with Access because I am familiar with its reporting capabilities.
I should note that I have VB 2005 Express and SQL Server Express. Right now my company is not putting any money into a higher version.
Let me know what you all think.
Thanks,

I am in the planning stages of a front-end to access sql server databases. The project involves analysis of stored data as well as storing results of the analysis. The classes for the analytical part is fairly complex so I would like to speed up the data manipulation part of the project. I am already familiar programming with ADO but I was hoping for a more complete solution. Is there a sdk or example code (third-party OK) that could facilitate this?
The client is not especially fond of .NET and would prefer to use VB6. However, with the right solution, C# or VB.NET would be acceptable languages.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am currently designing an adp front end that links to a Sql Server database.
In terms on front end upgrade prespective i am thinking about a logon routine procedure ( which should be a vba code code that runs at startup) to check wheter the adp front end which is being used is the latest release hence compatible with the database current version.
Create and manage version number at back end level is quiet easy however to set a version number or whatever else information in the adp is somewhat a big hassle as database properties are not available from visual basic when using adp.
Was also thinking about using my xml file which holds my configuration information such as Data source - catalog but that's mean deployment of new front end must be carried out with local xml file change.
Also any manual update of information about version in xml file could allow old front end to run with database.
Please any tips and advises on how to handle this issue highly appreciated.

Hello,I'm trying to create a simple back up in the SQL Maintenance Plan that willmake a single back up copy of all database every night at 10 pm. I'd likethe previous nights file to be overwritten, so there will be only a singleback up file for each database (tape back up runs every night, so each daysback up will be saved on tape).Every night the maintenance plan makes a back up of all the databases to anew file with a datetime stamp, meaning the previous nights file stillexists. Even when I check "Remove files older than 22 hours" the previousnights file still exists. Is there any way to create a back up file withoutthe date time stamp so it overwrites the previous nights file?Thanks!Rick

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just changed my Access 2002 database to a SQL Server ADP project. Ihad a form where the user entered a value into a text box and when acommand button on the form was clicked a Report was opened. The reportsrecord source is a query.

Can I change the syntax somehow to get this towork? I tried dropping the brackets around the word "Forms", I trieddropping all the square brackets, etc., nothing worked.I also tried just opening the report with the report's Server Filterproperty set to:EggColor=N'Forms.EggColorForm.ColorTextBox'I tried using the Report's open event to pass the form value directlyto the report. I tried setting a variable from the text box value onthe form. So far, nothing works. Any ideas?

I have XP Pro SP2 with MDAC 2.8.1022. It had a problem so I tried to reinstall MDAC and got a Fatal Setup Error. This setup does not support installing on this operating system. I downloaded MDAC 2.8 1177 and get the same error.
I thought of uninstalling/reinstalling SP2, but this is a 2 month old Dell Latitude 610 with factory installed XP. There is no Windows Service Pack 2 option listed in the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
There's some other strange things, so I wonder if they are related.
1) I have Paul set up as an administrator account. Some folders like MSSQL show that account with no permissions. I grant all the permissions to Paul for that folder. I come back later and the permissions are gone.
2) I deleted 20 files in Explorer, but 7 of them did not go away. I deleted those 7 again and they instatnly reappeared. I deleted those 7 again and then they finally went away.
3) I get a slow reaction time for things like Windows Explorer and opening and closing programs. This is suprising since it has 2 gig of RAM and 2.3 Gig processor. Could it be a memory handling problem that's causing OS problems. Probably, the memory didn't handle the OS installation well and the whole system is compromised now.
We're doing upgrades from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014. This is blocked due to RS is installed but not configured. Our desired action is to uninstall RS and proceed with the upgrade. But when setuparp.exe is raised, it does not list all the features on the 'Select Features' page. In fact, it only lists the last 2 shared features (SQ Client Connectivity SDK and Microsoft Sync Framework). However, all items appear to be listed on the 'Select Instance' page including RS. I've seen this issue on 2 of our SQL 2008 R2 Servers already.
