Linking To A SQl 7 Backend Using Access 97
Mar 22, 2001I created a SQl Server 7 database and used an Access 97 frontend on the same computer. The Access frontend uses linked tables to reach the SQl server. The security setup I have is based on the NT Domain Accounts and whatever group
I have them in (example: Mr. D is in Marketing therefore he is in a NT Domain
Group called "SQL_MARKETING"...the SQL Server recognizes that everyone in this
group has access to whatever role I have designated for it in the database").
I can access the linked tables fine on my computer at my desk or at the server. Another person with the exact same administration rights as me can
get to the server through the network neigborhood or by mapping..and they
can access the Access frontend with no problem from their computer. But
when they try to open a linked table they recieve an error message that
the ODBC connection has failed. We are all running Access 97 service pack
2 and another person and me have the exact same administration..but only
I am able to access the Access linked SQL tables but not him.I tried deleting
the ODBC system dsn on the server and the linked tables and then re-adding them and the ODBC link but to no avail. Does anyone know why this would
be occuring? Thank You in advance.

Linking To SQL Server In Access
Feb 6, 2006We recently upgraded a number of databases from MS Access 2000 to SQL Server 2000. I need to make it so that users can display the data from the SQL Server so I created some link tables in Access for them to view the data without using SQL Server Enterprise Manager. This works fine in tables with only a few thousand rows of data. However some of the tables have 100K+ rows of data, and these are not displaying the data. When someone tries to view the data in one of these tables all they see is #Deleted in every column. Is it possible to link to tables in SQL Server with large numbers of rows and view this info in Access?

Linking To SQL Server To Access 97
Dec 7, 2007OK here is my situation: I work in a laboratory with a 10 year old instrument that stores results in an Access 97 DB. The DB is beautifully designed and implemented. The problem is that since the software is so old, once the DB gets above a few MB in size the application starts to fail. So their solution is to Backup (make a copy) and Cleanup (delete data older than X days) once a week. So what I end up with is a bunch of copies of the DB, which fragments the data that I need. In order to get the data results I have been using an Access 2003 DB linked to this one (because I can't create Views in that database). The lab users then use the linked DB directly or I have written some automation code in Excel VBA (ADO) to simplify it for the other users. This allows us to query data immediately as it is produced.
My hope is that I can somehow get all of the data into a SQL Server DB. Now I have imported one of the backup copies of the DB in and the table structure and data imports fine into SQL Server, but I end up with duplicate rows because the different DB backup files have overlapping data, and for some reason there aren't PKeys. Also, I'd prefer to have some way of automating the input. Something like a trigger on the Access table so that any new data is imported into the SQL DB automatically. I doubt this is possible, but that is generally what I am trying to do and I am out of ideas. The ultimate goal is that the SQL DB will always be "updated" and I can use that as my query source and take advantage of the power of SQL Server.
Hopefully that all made sense... if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.
Thanks for your time.
Linking Tables From MS Access
Apr 21, 2015Is there a way to link MS Access tables with SQL Server tables so the client app sees them as tables from one database?
I have tried linked server but it appears that it gets stale after a while and needs to be re linked from time to time which is not very practical.
Linking Access To SQL Server
Jan 22, 2007Hi,
I have an existing Access DB with many Tables, Forms, Queries and Reports. I need to put a SQL Server Back end on this database.
Do I need to code a mirror images of these objects or is there some way to export these into SQL Server?
Also, where do I deal with assigning usernames and passwords? Access or SQL Server. I need to have different views for different users based upon their rights (user, admin)
Thanks,

No Indexes - Linking To MS Access
Oct 4, 2006Hello,
I am using MS Access 2000 as a front end to a SQL Server 2000 db. When I link to the SQL Server db using a DSN, the SQL Server table pk's and indexes are not coming over with the link. The pk's and indexes do exist in SQL Server. I haven't had to link to these tables in over a year, but they used to link just fine.
Do you have a suggestion as to where to look at this problem?
Thanks you - Darryle
SQL 2000 Linking Tables To Access
Oct 23, 2004Hi, I need to link an Access 97 database to sql server 2000. I can't use Enterprise Manager so I have created a simple asp.net page using sp_addlinkedserver and sp_addlinkedsrvlogin.
The mdb file is on a network share, then I have permissions problems: here is a sample
sp_addlinkedserver 'test', 'Access 97', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'\SVKNFS080Pshareaccess97db1.mdb', 'efco'
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'test', false, 'sa', 'Admin', NULL
I have no problems executing these stored procedures (the linked server is added in sysservers table), but when I try to query the access database
SELECT * FROM test...profile
I get this error
Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server][OLE/DB provider returned message:
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\SVKNFS080Pshareaccess97dboutlet.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.]
The mdb file is not locked, I think is a permission's problem.
Can anyone help me ?
Thanks in advance
Post SP2 Access Linking Problems
Jun 6, 2000We recently installed SP2 on our SQL Server 7.0 database, and it appears to have changed the way Access databases are linked. Any user other than SA cannot connect to the linked Access tables. We receive the error 7302, which is 'Could not create an instance of OLE DB provider...'. Before the SP2 upgrade, this link was working fine, and non SA personnel (DBOs included) could connect to the linked DB and run queries.
We tried dropping and recreating the Access link, and it still has the same results. We also tried connecting to another Access database, and had the same results. The Access databases we are trying to connect to have no built in security, and the sharing permissions appear to be working because the SA can connect.
Has anyone else run across this error? Is it a problem with SP2?
Linking SQL Server To Access MDB File
Mar 8, 2004Hi,
I am using an MDB file to talk to a SQL Server. I would like to use pass-through queries to keep as much of the processing on the server as possible. However, I have been told that the results of such queries will be read-only. How do I keep the processing on the server but generate read-write answers to my queries?
Thanks

This Is An Access Project Linking Tables On SQL 2005 Server.
May 10, 2006Looks like the Office 2003 MS Access has no support for creating a linked server and implement design changes. While you could link to the SQL 2005 tables, which show up as queries in MS Access 2003, any further use of the linked queries are not supported unless the Access 2003 version came out after the SQL 2005 release. What kind of an update is needed, or fix is needed so that Access projects can be developed?
View 6 Replies View RelatedConnection Fails In Linking SQL Server 2005 Tables Into Access Using DAO 3.51
Aug 21, 2006Hi,
I have an app that creates and attaches tables from SQL Server into an Access mdb using an ODBC link from VB6 using DAO 3.51 on Windows 2000. Recently I upgraded to SQL Server Express edition and tested it. It worked fine against the Express Edition. So, I installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on our Server hoping that they operate identically. How wrong one can be! the same code that worked against Express Edition does not work on Standard Edition.
It is strange that the App works for about 5 seconds which attaches about 38 tables and after that the connection drops and I have a hell of a time to get the rest of the tables linked. The error that comes up is:
Connection failed:
SQLState: '01000'
SQL Server Error: 10060
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]ConnectionOpen (connect()).
Connection failed:
SQLState: '08001'
SQL Server Error: 11
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]General network error. Check your network documentation.
The PC that I am using to connect is in a different domain to the Server where the SQL Server database resides. I thought that domains might be the reason. But even joining the PC to the same domain as the server still does not work and behaves the same. So I do not think it is a domain related issue.
I have also looked at the SQL Server and database configurtaions. I cannot see anywhere any specific time out of around 5 seconds. Even the time out through the SQL Server ODBC driver is set to 30 seconds by default as far as I know. So, it looks like there is a time out somewhere but I am absolutely confused as to where this 5 second time out is comming from.
I also thought permissions on the database or tables might be the issue but after looking at the database and table permissions, they all look OK. The user has prettymuch the same access as the SA on the database.
Has anybody came across this problem? If so, I appreciate if someboday can give me a hint as to where I can start.
Thanks,

Linking To SQL Server 5.0

Linking 6.5 Server
Mar 8, 1999I can't seem to link a 6.5 database from 7.0 and there's nothing in help which seems to help. Is it a "SQL Server" or do you have to use the OLE DB Provider? If the latter, what's supposed to be in the Product, Data Source, Provider String and Catalog fields? What about security? I've tried everything I can think of and can't get it to work. I also get errors creating a new DTS package that says "Could ot create Component Categories Manager", and then "Error during creation of DTS Package". I installed the desktop version of 7 on an NT Workstation. Has anyone successfully linked a 6.5 server in this environment?

Linking Up Two Different Databases
Aug 22, 2007I am not a database manager, but I work with people that use databases for sales and customer service... so I am not too familiar with the code and lingo... please bear with me.
We use two databases - one is in SQL, and it is for pre-sales customer service... i.e. tracking notes, phone calls, emails, and opportunities.
The second database is in Progress, and it is for actual quotes, tracking time, labor, materials, cost, and revenue.
As of now, our sales people have to enter new customers in the SQL database, and then duplicate the information in the Progress database. It's very frustrating, because everything needs to be entered twice - name, address, phone, shipping info, etc. etc. etc... When we first started this - 10 years ago - we were told that it could all be linked.
So my question is - is it possible to link these databases together? When our sales people enter a new contact in CRM, I'd like it to be automatically entered into the Progress database. If they make a change to a phone number, I'd like that to be updated in the Progress database. Also the other way around - if a shipping address is changed in the Progress database, I'd like it updated automatically in the SQL database.
Please tell me this is possible - and easy!!! Thanks for any help you can provide at all.
Jon
