I have MSDE installed on my machine to support off-line use of a web application.
The database (MDF) file in question is stored on an encrypted area of my hard drive, which must be unlocked each time the machine starts up by the user entering a password.
Unfortunately, by this time the SQL Server service has already started, and although it still lists the database along with master, etc, it cannot access it. I believe the error mentions that some files are unavailable.
Stopping and restarting SQL Server using Service Manager fixes this problem. However, this can only be done when logged in as Administrator. I need to find a solution for normal users without Admin privileges.
Is there any other way of making the now-unlocked MDF file available to SQL Server? I thought about using SQLDMO to Refresh databases, but no joy.
This is a real show stopper for my application, which I've spent three years developing! It goes without saying that I'm writing this message with a long face. If anybody has any suggestions I would be very happy to hear from you!
HiI am just starting my first .NET project using the web matrix and an MSDE database. I am pretty much at the limit of my knowledge - all very interesting. I have some data in an Access spreadsheet (6 columns and 365 rows) which in the past I have copied and pasted into an Access database table. How do I get it into a MSDE database table? This process does not need to be automated/programmed as I will only have to do it once a year. Any ideas on the easiest way forward would be much appreciated.Thanks in advance.Mike
I need to choose a database based on the following criteria (using .NET app): 1) a light but fully functional database, preferably with the support of store proc and constraints, less than 8000 transaction a day. 2) portable or the database can be export/import very easily 3) reliable and stable 4) least maintenance
I have two db in my mind, Access and MSDE? Does anyone have some hand-ons experience on the above two? Or any other better suggestions?

Hi, I don't have Visual Studio, so I'm using web matrix and MSDE. My question is, how do I get to MSDE? I don't have the enterprise manager that comes with SQL Server. Thanks amit
Hi i am upsizing a db from access to msde. I provide it a username and password. But when i try to connect to the db in Visual Studio i get this error "Login failed for user 'user': Reason. not assocaited with a trusted SQL Server Connection"Thanks
I have a customer with Office 2000 and uses Access 2000. I normally use SQL/7, but for this job would it be save to use MSDE on the web site so the customer can upload and download the MSDE file for product information? I use SQL/7 for the backend. Please advise.
Hi everyone,In using the SQL Server Database Wizard in Access 2000 to create a newaccess project, I get two consecutive error messages and then the wizardshuts down. The first, which apprears immediately after starting the wizardis a message box stating something like "the property value is too large".After clicking through and filling out the values in the connection anddatabase dialog, I get a second dialog box with the message "Overflow" andthe wizard terminates.My operating system is Windows 2000 Professional with Access 2000 and MSDE2000.Does anyone have any thoughts about what might be causing these errors?Thanks in advance.
I want to move my Access 2K database into MSDE. The Access UpsizingWizard crashes (a known bug wi A2K), so I'm using the followingsuggested method:Access --> New --> Project (Existing Database)This asks for the name of the .adp file to create and then launchesinto the Data Link Properties dialog box (so far so good) I select myMSDE server from the drop-down, enter the sa account & passwd, attacha database file and try to select the .adp file that was just created.Unfortunately, the "Select SQL Server Database File" dialog is lookingfor an .MDF file, not an .ADP file.If I try to kludge it and select the .adp file anyway, the TestConnection produces an error:"Test connection failed because of an error in initializingprovider. The header file "D: est.adp" is not a valid database fileheader. The FILE SIZE property is incorrect."Any suggestions on how to proceed?Note:I've got Access 2000 SP1, Visual Studio.Net 2002, MSDE and SQL WebAdministrator running on XP Prof SP2.
I know that SQL Server cost plenty to license for internet use...per year. But is there the same costs for MSDE and/or Access? I was recently told that every internet user would have to have a license to use a site that had Access as the database. I'm really not sure how true that is or if its MS support fobbing me off. Anyone know?
I have a named instance of MSDE running on my windows 2k3 web server. I can connect just fine using ODBC to that DB whailst I am on the server.
I would like to be able to create an ODBC connection from my local machine (running Windows XP pro) to the MSDE database on my server but I can't get it going.
I have heard that I need to edit the registry but a Google search warns that this could be a vulnerability...
How do I do it without compromising the security of my web server?
I have a large VB 6.0 application running with Jet 4.0 Access DB. I am considering moving the DB to MSDE. For testing, I installed MSDE on another computer in a peer to peer network running XP sp1, loaded up the DB from Access to MSDE2000A -- all without problem. (I should add the obvious fact I am new to using SQL server.)
What I find is that with a relatively small test DB, running just a single instance of the application, query response from MSDE is taking several seconds (4-5 second lag) longer than response from the Access DB, which runs extremely fast. This is with the Access DB installed on the same network drive, running the same application and the same queries syntax -- only changing configuration of connection for each (SQL vs Jet 4).
Any clues as to what may be going on? The lag time is unacceptable. I am using SQL password instead of NT security. It seems the process is perhaps lagging in the process of authorization.
Yes I have the dreaded "SQL Server does not exist or access denied." error when trying to connect to an MSDE database. I've tried many solutions found across the net. I installed the latest sp3a version of MSDE, granted the ASPNET worker process access to my database, opened port 1433 in the Windows XP firewall. I'm running Windows XP SP2.
The funny thing is that I can successfully connect using an ODBC DSN connection (OdbcConnection). No problems at all. This works.
<code> Dim strDSNString As String = "DSN=mike" Dim objConn As New OdbcConnection(strDSNString) Dim objCmd As New OdbcCommand("select * from table1", objConn) Dim objReader As OdbcDataReader
Hi. I'm coming from a background of developing mdbs and am trying to migrateour databases to adps running atop MSDE 2000. However, I've encountered aproblem while trying to do analogous things to what I've done before withmdbs...for example:-Linking to a csv file on another machine: I am able to establish a linkuning the 'Link Table Wizard' that shows up as a new view. However, uponopenning the view I see only a single column (left-most).What am I missing here?James
Hi all, I'm getting this error message when I try to connect my MSDE database from other machine using enterprise manager application. Both of the machines are WinXP SP2. I found some solution such as using 'SQLServer Network Utility' but didn't work out for me. I even can not connect my database on my computer using TCP/IP. When I connect with name, it worked fine. I already enable both TCP/IP and Named pipe protocol on the MSDE machine. If someone has solution on that please let me know.
We just installed an application, WhatsUpGold, to monitor our servers. Management won't let me host that on my primary SQL box. So, we are using MSDE on the local machine (call that box my_netmon).
I can access the db with very basic functionality using osql while on the my_netmon machine. I've added my domain user account as a System Admin using the following commands.
exec sp_grantlogin @name go
exec sp_addsrvrolemember @name, 'sysadmin'
But when I go to the my_sql machine and try to attach to it with Enterprise Manager I get an error that the server does not exist.
What gives??? Is it just not possible, or am I missing something here?
My goal is to just be able to see the data stored in the MSDE db. Write views, etc...
I want to view the sample databases within Access 2003. When I try to view them an error message appears saying I need MSDE 2000 but this will not run on Windows Vista which is my operating system. What do I need to view the sample database as well as develop applications within Access using SQL server?
I am new to asp.net programing and am trying to put a basic secured login page on out IIS server to test, etc... Using the wbe matrix tool I was able to sucessfully login, and access avrious database tables without a problem, however on the IIS box I receive the following error when i attempt to access pages that use the database.
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'. Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.

All asp & aspx pages that do not reference a database work fine. I have ready many articles about simialr problems, and it appears that I either need to cerate a aspnet user or add the nt authority as a database user. Can someone point me in the irght direction, and how to get this working?
I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
We have been asked to look into using stored procedures with SQL Server 7.0 as a way to speed up a clients site. 99% of all the articles I have read along with all the books all say Stored Procedure should be used whenever possible as opposed to putting the SQL in your ASP script. However one of my colleagues has been speaking to Microsoft and they said that that they were surprised that our client wanted to use Stored Procedures as this was the old method of database access and that now he should really consider using COM objects for data access as itis much faster. Has anyone got any views on this or know of any good aticles regarding this matter ?
Hi all,Here is my situation.I have an application that uses SQL 2000. The client has a programthat uses MSDE. The client MUST have the MSDE version of the Database.What I have done is to create a SQL 2000 Database that is exactly likethe MSDE version. What I wish to do, is at regularly scheduledintervals, update the SQL 2000 Data with the newest MSDE Data.On my clients server, they have both MSDE and SQL 2000 installedthe msde has a user name and password to access it, whereas the SQL2000 uses authenticated mode to access it.What I'm trying to do is to write a bunch of SQL Queries, that I canrun that will copy over the new Data, but I'm having problems accessingthe msde database in query analyzer from the SQL DatabaseCan anyone give me hints on the best way to try thisThanksScott

I have recently upgraded to SQL2014 on Win2012. The Access front end program works fine.
But, previously created Excel reports with built in MS Queries now fail with the above error for users with MS 2013. The queries still work for users still using MS 2007.
I also cannot create any new queries and get the same error message. If I log on as myself on the domain to another PC with 2007 installed it works fine, so I don't think it is anything to do with AD groups or permissions.
Downloaded and installed MSDE and just finished creating a website using the Community Starter Kit. I'm used to working with Access Databases and this is my first experience with anything SQL. Can someone provide my with some guidance as to what I need to do to upload the MSDE Database to a server. Can I just upload the files like an Access Database or is this more involved. Thanks for you help.
I'm using Visual Studio.Net enviroment, i have SQL desktop Engine installed and everything is working great. I have a problem that whenever i create a new database connections i can NOT delete it. I know that i have to select the node containing the connection and then press the DEL Key, but it seems that the delete option is not valid!
