I am trying to link a table from a MS SQL database into access97 thru ODBC. When I do this, I get the message "Can't define field more than once." When I look at the table in SQL, there are no duplicate field names, however, when I bring the table in to do a Crystal Report, I see there are 2 fields that have duplicate field names 6 times. (Evidently Crystal doesn't care about this as Access does.) Any clues on what is happening?
View 2 RepliesI would like to create a MSAccess97 front end for some SQL7 data.
I created an odbc source system dsn for the server holding the SQL7 data.
When I try to add a table to my Access97 database by linking it to a SQL7 table, the only choices presented me are tables in the default database for SQL7 on my server. How do I link to tables in another database on that server? Thanks.
I`m trying out SQLServer7, have installed it on my workstation, have been able to open access97 and link to sql7 tables I created. Want another user to use access97 to set up her own database and link to my sql7 tables. Do I need to install anything from the sql7 beta disk on her desktop? Right now she can`t link a sql7 table to her access97 db. Thanks.

Little puzzle this.I need to link from SQL2000 to Access to get to a table held within anAccess DB. Now you can link within Access to a SQL table, but can thisbe done the other way round ? It's the first time I've needed to dosomething like this.What I have is an application which was written (by me) with an Accessbackend (to run on a CD) and now it needs to run on SQL. However, Iwant to be able to swap over between backends so that I can choosewhere this runs from. I've done this with the sole exception of onetable. Previously most of the data was held in one MDB file and a linkto another (one local copy and one on CD). My queries use the link toquery both local and the CD copy data together.I can re-write things if I need to, but I was curious about there beinga way of doing this. What I want in effect is to query a view on SQL,but the data will be held in Access instead of on SQL.I suppose I can import as I need it as the data is purely read only. Idon't think this can be done, but wanted to check first. I can alwaysmove the remainder of the data over to SQL if needed. It's not a bigproblem, just something I'm curious about.Any pointers would be appreciated.Thanks in advanceRyanp.s. In case anyone wonders why I have taken this approach it isbecause we have a query tool and data that we send out to clients onCD. Some now want this web based, so I will publish the application ona Citrix server, and by changing a config file can swap within theapplication to point to SQL (by changing the ODBC settings). This way,I only need one copy of the application and can change backends as Ineed to.
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan someone help me with how I should set the relationship in my address tables and how they will affect the deleting of a client?
So, if I have:
tblClients ClientID
tblClientAddresses AddressID
tblClientAddressLinks AddressID, ClientID
Currently I have them set as a 1-M from tblClients to tblClientAddressLinks and a 1-M from tblClientAddresses to tblClientAddressLinks
If I try and delete a client and there address is shared wont this go very wrong?
So here is what happens when I try and delete a client:
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK_tblClientAddressLinks_tblClients". The conflict occurred in database "DBSQL2", table "dbo.tblcLIENTAddressLinks", column 'clientID'.The statement has been terminated.
Here is what happens when I try and delete an address:
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK_tblClientAddressLinks_tblClientAddresses". The conflict occurred in database "DBSQL2", table "dbo.tblClientAddressLinks", column 'Address_ID'.The statement has been terminated.
I would like to hear your thoughts on a philosophy I adhere to.
As a rule of thumb I've always preached that Unique Indexes are for linking tables and Primary Keys are used to ensure that records aren't duplicated. I’ve embraced this philosophy for a couple reasons, the main one being that I don’t have to create numerous foreign key fields in the foreign key table.
However I’ve done most of my programming in Access and am now in need of something more robust (SQL Server v7) and I’m wondering if I need to reconsider.
I do also have a how to question; that being is it possible to create a table join on a unique index in SQL Server v7 and if so how? I would like to have an Auto Number / Auto Incremented / Unique Identifier field in the Primary Key table that links to a numeric field in the Foreign Key table.
Thanks in advance

Rather than using the upsize wizard in MS Access to connect to tables on a backend SQL server, how would I go about linking an Access Database to an existing table on an SQL server?
Thanks, Phil

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
Something strange has happened to my table. I used Enterprise Manager today to delete 3 columns. When I went to re-link the table using Access Linked Table Manager, it gave me an error. I then deleted the link to the table, and tried to Link it again using 'Get External Data---Link Tables'. I am getting an error (no surprise!):
" 'dbo.tblSpaceUse.PK_RoomID' is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long".
When I go into Enterprise Manager to 'manage Indexes' on the table, it shows me that the existing index is in fact dbo.tblSpaceUse.PK_RoomID.
About a month ago, I had to rename the index, because it had been pointing to the wrong table. The SQL I used to rename it (in Query Analyzer) is:
EXEC sp_rename 'dbo.tblSpaceUse.PK_RoomID', 'tblSpaceUse.PK_RoomID', 'INDEX'
I have been using the table successfully since then, until today. I have not done anything with the index; the only change I attempted was to delete 3 columns (not related to the index). I do not think I have made any changes to the table since I renamed the index.
I tried to run the rename SQL again (a desperate attempt!) and get the error message:
Server: Msg 15248, Level 11, State 1, Procedure sp_rename, Line 192
Either the parameter @objname is ambiguous or the claimed @objtype (INDEX) is wrong.
Any ideas on what went wrong and what I can do to fix it???
Thanks,

I am using SQL 2008 r2. I have two SQL Queries from 2 different database but they share one server. I need to linked these two SQL Queries as they share the same Primary key which CustomerID see example below
Query 1
Database::Student
Select StudentID , FName, LName
From Student
Query 2
Database ::Finance
Select StudentID,Tution
FROM Payment
I need to be able combine two query which come from two database but they share one server.I would like to use two temp tables so that I can perform a left / right join to retrieve the data by linking two queries using primary id which they both share ( StudentID)
Summary : I have two DB's on the same server. I have two simple select queries for each DB which work correctly.
I have a table 'Group2Operation' that stores many to many relationsbetween the 'Group' table and the 'Operation' table (each group is haspermission to perform one or more of the available operations)PROBLEM=======I need to prevent duplicate entries being created. e.g. lets say thatin the 'Group2Operation' table a record links the 'editor' group tothe 'publish' operation. Should I prevent an administrator creating aduplicate of that record? (Otherwise deleting that permission willhave to be done twice or more for it to be effective)SOLUTION?=========So far I've done this with a trigger:CREATE TRIGGER Group2OperationDuplicates ON dbo.Group2OperationFOR INSERT, UPDATEAS UPDATE Group2OperationSET NoDuplicate = CONVERT(nvarchar(10),GroupID) + OperationTagThe 'NoDuplicate' unique index column in the Group2Operation tablestores a concatenation of the unique group and operation identifiers.So when an attempt is made to create a record, the trigger is fired.If there is a duplicate, this will mean a duplicate entry in the'NoDuplicate' column. As a result, the INSERT or UPDATE will fail andthe duplication will be prevented.WHAT DO YOU THINK?==================What do you think? Am I going about this in the right way? Is atrigger a good way to do this or should I rely on application logic toprevent duplicates?Any help appreciated by this db novice.John Grist

I have an assignment where I am to create two tables within a database. One of the tables have the name ContactPerson with the attributes; ID, Forename, Surname, Email, PhoneNumber. The other table is called Company and has the attributes: ID, CompanyName.
Now my problem is that I have to link a ContactPerson to a specific company, but I can't have them in the same table.
I understand that I can use the join statement to show both tables in one query but I need the database to know which person is linked to which company when I implement this databse into my asp.net project.

I have an Access 97 database that I would like to "mirror" in my SQL server 2000 database.
Basically I would like SQL server to keep a current copy of an Access 97 database table which exists on remote machine on our network. Any time there is a change made to the Access table, I would like the SQL server to be updated automatically.
Is this something that is possible to do with replication/synchronization, or do I have to push the data up with another app?
Thanks
Hi can anyone help me with the format of my stored procedure below.
I have two tables (Publication and PublicationAuthors). PublicaitonAuthors is the linking table containing foreign keys PublicaitonID and AuthorID. Seeming as one Publication can have many authors associated with it, i need the stored procedure to create the a single row in the publication table and then recognise that multiple authors need to be inserted into the linking table for that single PublicationID. For this i have a listbox with multiple selection =true.
At the moment with the storedprocedure below it is creating two rows in PublicaitonID, and then inserting two rows into PublicationAuthors with only the first selected Author from the listbox??? Can anyone help???ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.StoredProcedureTest2

The website i'm building is using an access97 database. Actually the database isn't very big but i hope it will become. So i would like to convert it to SQL 7.0 which seems to be more powerfull. Is there a software which can do it automatically? What are the modifications needed by ODBC ?
Thanks !
When I try to link tables from Access97 to SQL7, all the columns have #deleted# in them. Does any one know why this is?

When Access date/time data is transformed to SQL7, it seems to work fine as long as the data contains date information. But, if the data is time only, there is the 2-day diff. coming out of Access.
For date/time data in Access, day 0 is 12/30/1899--for SQL7 it is 1/1/1900.
So, it appears that DTS first converts Access date/time data to a date formatted string and then sends to SQL. This will only be a problem for times....8:00 AM is stored to SQL as 8:00 AM on 12/30/1899, not 1/1/1900. If I try to calculate hours or minutes from midnight (date/time 0) I get a negative number.
Has anyone else encountered this? I guess my choice is to modify DTS to correct for the dates or to run an update once the data is moved.
We have an Access97 database with 122 tables. I try to use import and export wizard to import the data from access into SQL 2005 database. I find an interesting problem. When select all tables, the wizard give following errors:

But if I divide importing as 2 steps:
1. import all tables before PlanClasses, it works.
2. import all tables after PlanClasses including PlanClasses, it works.
If I just import PlanClasses itself, it works, but I can not import all tables at once. Interesting thing is if I just unselect PlanClasses, it will have same error at the class right after PlanClasses. Is there size limitation when doing import at once?
Does Access2000 upsizing wizard support migration of tables to Sql 2000?

I recently rewrote an old ACCESS 97 application to work with MSSQL 7.
The program works fine until I use a form whiche opens several linked tables at the same time. When closing the Form I get (At unpredictable moments) an ODBC SQL SERVER DRIVER update failure error message.
All rights are set on the tables for Public and even then i keep getting this error at very odd moments. I also had a look in Access at the ODBC refresh rate which is set at 10sec , OLEDB refreshrate 10 sec, and refresh is set at 5sec.
I tried different combinations of timeout settings and even renewing the MDAC to version 2.7.
Nothing helps.
Can anyone give me a tip as to look for the possible source of the error and how to fix it?
Thanks!

I have an application written in Access 97 that connects to a SQL2000backend. One field is a description field that is a data type NTEXT in theSQL database. In my access form, I can not enter more than 255 characters.Before I converted the backend to SQL, the description field was a memofield in Access.What do I need to do to make it so I can enter more text into this field?

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
