MS Access To SQL With SQL Server 2005 Express
Nov 2, 2007
Trying to convert my access DB to SQL using 05 express using the upsizing wizard but receiving "SQL Server does not exist or access is denied"
[microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory] ConnectionOpen(connect())
I'm brand new to this. My site is currenty running cold fusion with MS Access on a remote hosting server that doesn't allow me to update the DB. They suggested migrating to SQL with CF so I can make changes without bring down the entire server.
I'm trying to make the conversion on my local machine running XP pro. I have just installed the .net framework and SQL server 2005 express. Do I need a different version?
Suggestions?

Hello!
I run an application with a SQL Server 2005 Express edition.
I read under
Start menu
--> all programs
--> Microsoft SQL Server Express
--> Configuration Tools
--> SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration
--> Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections
--> Database Engine
--> Remote Connections
That:
"By default, SQL SERver 2005 Express, Evaluation and Developer editions allow local client connetctions only. Enterprise, Standard and Workgroup editions also listens for remote client connections over TCP/IP. Use the options below to change the protocols on which SQL Server listens for incoming client connections. TCP/UP is preferred over named pipes because it requeres fewer ports to be opened across the firewall."
Here I chose the option "Local and remote connections only, using TCP/IP only".
But still, does this mean that other users can't connect to my database since I'm running the Express edition?
If that's the case, could this be changed by using mySQL instead?
Is it hard to transfer a MS SQL Server .mdf database file into a new mySQL database?

I am currently using a Microsoft Access (MDB) for my application. But I am looking at allowing other users on the network access the same database -- I know a Microsoft Access database is not the best solutuon for this enviroment.
I'd like to use SQL Server 2005 Express in this case. I am very fimilular with SQL Server 2000 Std/Ent editions. My question is, can I use the free SQL Server 2005 Express edition and allow remote users to connect to that database? Or is it supposed to only be used as a local database accessed by only the machine it's installed on?
Thanks,
Jason

I have installed SQL Server 2005 Express on a laptop for development purposes and would like to import some Access databases that I was using coupled to programs written in VB 6.
If using SQL Server 2000 I could use the management studio to automate the import but I can not find any way to do this in Management Studio Express. Would have thought that this would be the typical migration route - Access to Server Express
Is there some way to automate this procedure?
Thanks

I just installed SQL Server Management studio express. I am trying to remotely connect to a SQL Server Express 2005 remotely. I was given the server name, user name and password, and used SQL Server authentication. It connected fine, and I was able to get at the intended database.
I then went to ODBC data sources to add this SQL server using SQL authentication. I entered the server, user and password, and I got a nebulous "could not connect" error. I thought is may be because I still was connected in SQL Server Management studio express, so I closed it and tried again with the same error. I then reopened SQL Server Management studio express and tried to reconnect, and got the same nebulous error, and have not been able to connect since.
I tried rebooting and reinstalling SQL Server Management studio express, but had the same result. Does anyone have any idea what I may have done and how to undo?
Thanks,
Steve Colino

I upgraded an Access 2003 database to SQL Server 2005 Express with the upsize wizard- worked great! Have a field that needs to be a hyperlink data type. There is no datatype in SQL that is hyperlink. Even if it were a text field, possibly inserting a hyperlink would work, but the insert hyplink in Access is unavailable, because the datasource is sql, maybe. I have a command button that ties to this function which won't work, obviously since it is not available. I need this field, it points to a file containing data that is being imported into the database. Huge piece of the database functionality. Making it easy for the user to find the file and using the vba to convert the data.
Saw the option of jump to url, but I don't think that will work? couldn't find the exact syntax either.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
A question regarding SQL Server 2005 Express edition. Is it possible to export Access databases into SQL databases without using programming (e.g. using SQL and programming languages)?
I understand you can do this with DTS, but the Express edition seems not have DTS.
Many thanks

I have to export data from SQL Server 2005 express to Access database. I have done many import/export using DTS package via SQL 2000. I don't have BI installed in my SQL SERVER 2005 Express. I understand that I have to use SSIS for sql server 2005. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have an Access 2003 project (sp2) and the data in SQL Server 2005 Express.
My problem is when I try to make querys, diagrams, etc in Access, a warning tell me that I have installed a version of Access that is older than the version of SQL and all the designs that I make not be saved, and recommend a service pack for Access 2003 to correct the problem.
Can anybody help me, where is this SP??

Hi everyone,
I'v finally managed to get a New Linked Server setup on SQL 2005 Express SP2 using the 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers' MSDASQL. I have a Database setup on the SQL 2005 Express Database Engine which contains a query that OPENQUERY's the linked server. The query executes OK.
The problems in when I link an Access 2003 SP2 .adp file to the SQL 2005 Database Engine database. All objects, including the query containing the OPENQUERY (to the linked server) appear. However, when I run the same query within Access I get the following error:
"The OLE DB Provider for Linked Server "name" reported an error."
"The Provider reported an unexpected catastropic failure"
So the query works running within SQL 2005 Management Studio, but the same query doesn't work running within an Access 2003 SP2 ADP. I've closed down SQL 2005 Management Studio, but the same error is displayed.
I didn't know if the problem lies in Access 2003 SP2 or SQL 2005 Express SP2.
Any takers?? (I haven't logged this Thread in an Access forum)
Any assistance is appreciated.
Alan

I want to use SQL Server to query an Access Database with about 40,000 rows of data. If possible, I don't want to upsize the database because others need acess to it in the ACC97 format. Is there a way to use ODBC to connect to the ACC97 database so that I can use the SQL query capability of SQL server to query the database.
I know access allows you to write some SQL queries but I need the power of the SQL server and now it is a matter of curiosity because I've been searching for this answer for about 8 hours.

Hi
I have an Access 2000 Database which I am upsizing to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The Database has 29 tables and 60 stored queries. Each time I upsize to SQL Server the tables come in fine but non of the queries are imported.
All of the queries are very simple Select, Insert, Update and Delete Queries with nothing special in them.
I have tried using the upsizing wizard in Access 2003 and also the SQL Server 2005 Migration Assistant for Access.
Is there anything special I need to do in the migration assistant to ensure that the queries are imported as well.
Cheers

Hello,
after successfully connect Access to the Server I want to add a table. I got an error message:
With this version of MS Office Access you are not able to make any drafts because this version of SQL server you are connected to does not support this. Check the MS Office update website for the newest downloads.
You habe connected to a version of SQL server which is newer than SQL server 2000.
Versions:
SQL Server runs on a MS Server 2003 SP1
Access 2003 (11.6566.6568 SP2) on an MS XP Pro SP1
all on actual patch level. Any ideas what's wrong?

I have just acquired my first root server (Microsoft Windows Server 2003) to run a lightly used ASP application. I installed SQL Server Express 2005 on the server and the application works just fine. The problem is that I cannot access the SQL database on the server from my local computer that is running SQL Server 2000 Developer.
Please note the following:
1) I can access the server database (2005 Express) from a computer that is running SQL 2005 developer.
2) I can access other servers that are running non-EXPRESS versions of SQL 2005 from my computer (which is running SQL 2000)
Thus my question is:
Is there some kind of limitation or required setting in SQL Server Express to allow remote connections from SQL 2000?
Remember - I CAN access the database remotely using SQL 2005, just not SQL 2000.
I am using SQL Query Analyzer to try to access the database from my local computer using the same connection parameters that work on my SQL 2005 computer in Management Studio.
Thanks for any help!

When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/

Hi all,
Hopefully I am posting this question in the correct forum. I am still learning about SQL 2005. Here is my issue. I have an access db that I archive weekly into and SQL server table. I have used the dst wizard to create an import job and initally that worked fine. field I have as the primary key in the access db cannot be the primary key in the sql table since I archive weekly and that primary key field will be imported several time over. I overcame this initally by not having a primary key in the sql table. This table is strictly for reference. However, now I need to setup a unique field for each of the records in the sql table. What I have done so far is create a recordID field in the sql table that is an int and set as yes to Identify (auotnumber). That worked great and created unique id for all existing records. The problem now is on the import. When I try to import the access table i am getting an error because of the extra field in the sql table, and the error is saying cannot import null value into this field. So... my final question is how can I import the access table into the sql table with one extra field which is the autonumber unique field? Thanks a bunch for any asistance.
Bill

Hi,
I'm trying to learn some VB programming with the VB 2005 Express Absolute Beginner Series video tutorials (which I think is great) and have come across a problem that I can't solve.
When I follow the instructions in Lesson 9 (Databinding Data to User Interface Controls) my application will display the data from the database correctly and I can edit it (and as long as the debugger is running the data remains changed). However, the changes won't propagate back to the database. I don't get any error messages but after I edit the data, save (with the save button on the BindingNavigator toolbar), and end debugging the data in my database remains unchanged. When I use a MessageBox to show how many rows where edited/updated in the
Me.myTableTableAdapter.Update(Me.myDatabaseDataSet.myTable)
I get the correct number back. I'm sure the problem is not due to coding errors since I've also tried running the accompanying Lesson 9 project file that can be downloaded from MSDN and the problem persists.
I'm using Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and VB 2005 Express Edition. I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express with a number of different settings, including default settings, but it doesn't make any difference.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this as I'm keen to resolve this problem so I can get on with the next tutorial lesson.
Thanks,
Ieyasu

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me here. I'm very new to SQL server and has been asked to convert microsoft access database .MDB to SQL server. In another word, i'd like to migrate access to SQL Server. It's not a huge database. The size of it is roughly 6MB. The reason for migration is simply because our clients don't have microsoft office running on their system. They use SQL Server. This's a new challenge to me as i'm more comfortable with using Access now.
I have been searching and studying it thru the online tutorial about what it's and what it does. I have also downloaded and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express edition because it has GUI Interface and it does have the ability to produce reports like Access does. Now my question is how do i start because when i created the database i didn't think of any client/server application? so if i want to run the Access, i just double click it and start using it. how do i migrate it to SQL Server for a testing sake?
I really need some guidance here please.
Thank you in advance

Hi all,
I have SQL Server 2005 Express running and I am creating a database through access (Access 2003 SP2) and no problem it creates the database...
But when I try to create other objects like views and database diagrams, I get the message below which is quite detailed but I just don't know where to get the service packs or updates needed to have this problem solved. Can anyone point out what the problem and the fixes are?
Here is the message that I get:
"This version of MS Office Access doesn't support design changes with the version of MS SQL Server
your access project is connected to. See MS Office Update Website for the latest information and
downloads (on the Help menu, click Office on the Web). YOur design changes will not be saved.
You have connected to a version of SQL server later than SQL Server 2000. This version of Visual Studio
or Access that you are using was released before teh version of SQL Server to which you are connected.
For this reason you might encounter problems.
Please check with MS to see if there is a service pack that you should apply to Visual Studio or Office
in order to get support for the version of SQL Server to which you are connected.
You can continue but any new object types might not be enumerated, and it will not be possible to
save any objects or database diagrams thatyou create using the Visual Database Tools."
Thanks

I am a fresher in using SQL with access.
I am using a code in Ms access to link a table that is in Sql express 2005.
I use this linked table name to download records to the local Access table.
The link is then dropped in Access.
Is there any way to write back records into the linked Sql table from Access.
It does not allow me to delete / add / modify records of a linked table.
How can I do this.
Thanks

I've downloaded the migration tool to convert an Access 2000 DB to a SQL DB. The VB code utilizes DAO (3.6) for hourly automatic compaction and the creation of an encrypted security database. ADO is used for the data maintenance functions. I expect the current connection methodology of ODBC using Jet 4.0 will need to be modified (many articles here address this). All the SQL code is inline and also must be modified. The Coldfusion code utilizes Micrsoft Access with Unicode via an ODBC connection with only SQL Select statements. At another job, I migrated an Informix 7 database to MS SQL 7 and for the most part the SQL code remained the same except for the wildcard spec from * to %.
I'm looking for insights and/or shortcuts on this effort, primarily in the SQL command mods area. I'm perusing the threads here as we speak, but hoped someone knew of a specific thread I could go to....laziness is alive and well for us chronologically gifted people, i.e. over 55.
Any help or links are greatly appreciated!
