Today we are very pleased to announce the RTW release of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Access Database Synchronizer (ADS) for which many of you been waiting eagerly.
Access Database Synchronizer provides a way to synchronize data between Microsoft Access database on a desktop and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition database on a device.
The salient features of this solution are summarized below Ø Provides a synchronization solution between SQL Mobile/SSCE and MS Access. Data conversion is done while synchronizing the data. Ø Synchronization happens when there is an active ActiveSync connection between the device and the desktop. Ø There is no update to SQL Mobile/SSCE on the device. The solution consists of only of desktop side component which works with the existing client agent on the device. Ø The solution is based on existing RDA replication model. Programming model is exactly the same as RDA today. Ø Device applications written today do not need to be updated if the solution is upsized from access to SQL Server. Ø There is no conflict detection/resolution.
The setup installs the desktop component required for synchronizing Microsoft Access database with SQL Server Compact Edition database on the device. It also includes a readme file which has the documentation for the solution and a sample application. The readme file can be downloaded separately. The sample application shows how the solution works and how to write applications for this solution. The components installed on the desktop can be used by third party applications to provide data synchronization between Microsoft Access database on the desktop and SQL Server Compact/SQL Mobile database on the device.
On a desktop, the following operating systems will be supported: Ø Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2 Ø Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP2 Ø Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 with Windows XP MCE 2005 Update Rollup 2installed. Ø Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition SP2 Ø Microsoft Windows Vista (Only Windows Mobile 6.0 devices are supported)

I have installed ADS on a wm5 device, and my desktop computer is running XP. When I try to connect to the Access Database (via ADS) with my network cable in, it works fine But as soon as my network cable is unplugged, an error comes up €œError connecting to Access Database€? Can somebody please give me some suggestions on how to fix this problem I want to be able to sync my sdf database to my mdb database (via ads) without my network cable being plugged in
I have created a PPC application that uses ADS to synchronize my sqlce db with a desktop MS Access database. It works fine on my computers, but my client cant get it to work on his. Here is the situation.
His "Computer Name" as it's stated in his 'My Computer' properties is "PAVSGP024FE.NWFSC.NOAA.GOV"
However his Access.MDW File is located in the directory "C:Documents and SettingsJoe NobodyApplication DataMicrosoftAccessSystem.MDW".
There is no directory called "C:Documents and SettingsPAVSGP024FE.NWFSC.NOAA.GOVApplication DataMicrosoftAccessSystem.MDW".
He has tried adding port 1024 as an exception for his firewall settings, has installed Access Database Synchronizer on his computer, and I have also tried using the "long" computer name as the url setting in the config file. (i.e. <URL>http://PAVSGP024FE.NWFSC.NOAA.GOV:1024/</URL> but this throws the error
"The HTTP request failed due to incorrect format or content. Try restarting the IIS server.[]"
I dont know what else to try! Anybody have any suggestions?
Hi, I downloaded and install ADS. I cannot find the synchronization wizard in the start menu as indcated in the Readme.doc. file that come with the .msi file. I also need help to install the synchronizer onto the mobile device (windows mobile 5). The readme file seems to imply there is another setup file after te .msi file was executed. ("After you run the AccessDatabaseSynchronizer-EN.msi file, the setup files are installed at <installation drive:>Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server Compact Editionv3.1SyncAccess.") I can't find the setup file. Am I missing something? Please help.
After downloading and installing this tool, I'm confused. The documentation refers to a wizard, which I can't find in the Start menu.
Development team: Where is this wizard? This is a great idea that I'm certain many people can benefit from--- please make some better documentation, and give us a product that does what the documentation says.
I have MS-Access as data source for one of the reports. I can preview the report fine from BI studio however, it does not work when I deploy it on report server.
The error is :
An error has occurred during report processing. Cannot create a connection to data source '<data source name>'.
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '<UNC location of the MS-Access database>'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
MS-Access database is located on a different server.
Any help to solve this? I understand it has something to do with permission both on server where reporting service is running as well as the server where MS-access database is located. Pls help.
I have microsoft access database. I want to use this database as source of SSIS transformation. I have a data flow task which I want to get executed in Transaction with TransactionOption as "Required".
I tried using OLEDB datasource which uses oledb connection. I also tried using ADO.NET connection type with DataReader DataSource.
But in all cases at run time, it fires an error message as follows: [DataReader Source [1]] Error: System.InvalidOperationException: The ITransactionLocal interface is not supported by the 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider. Local transactions are unavailable with the current provider. at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionInternal.EnlistTransactionInternal(Transaction transaction, Boolean forcedAutomatic) at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionInternal.EnlistTransaction(Transaction transaction) at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.EnlistTransaction(Transaction transaction) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.ManagedHelper.GetManagedConnection(String assemblyQualifiedName, String connStr, Object transaction) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.IDTSConnectionManager90.AcquireConnection(Object pTransaction) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.DataReaderSourceAdapter.AcquireConnections(Object transaction) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ManagedComponentHost.HostAcquireConnections(IDTSManagedComponentWrapper90 wrapper, Object transaction)
If I remove the transaction, the data flow task works perfectly fine. Please suggest What mistake I am doing while connecting to MS Access database in side transaction??
The same mentioned configuration WITH TRANSACTION works perfectly fine for SQL Server AS SOURCE. Am I missing some very obvious thing?? Please suggest.
Hi All, I have recently moved jobs. From my last job I created a holiday database for the organisation, than I copied it on a storage device. Now, in my new job I would like to use same database. But the problem is most of the tables were linked. I know I can convert linked tables to local tables and I have tried it but it asks me for the new location with the same table names. Can some one please helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp I as I am really very desperate.
Hi there guys, I am currently trying to achieve a seemingly simple task in VC++ 2005. I have made a very simple form in Microsoft Access which I wish to serve as the beginnings of something greater. I created a db in MS Access named links.mdb containing on table-> Table1. Table1 contains 1 column, "Links", and i wish to read these strings into variables in my Visual C++ Windows Forms Application.
What I have done so far...
In Visual C++, I clicked on Data->Add new data source, and followed the wizard to add the microsoft access database to my application by the name, "linksDataSet". I can see the table in my left hand "Data Sources" pane in VC++. All I need to know is how to access my database from here so that I can read these strings stored in my table. Also, would be possible to schedule my application to log on to a http server and retrieve these links every time the application is executed? How would I go about doing this?
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.
- Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition - Client Service for Netware installed. - Access 2000 database in a Novell Directory Services (NDS) Environment - SQL Server service running under local Administrator account.
Linked server configured as follow:
Linked server: MyDB Provider: Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider Product name: Access 2000 Data Source: UNC path to my Access database
Security: Admin with no password (default Access behaviour)
I can connect to my access database by following the next steps:
- Open Management studio on the SQL Server itself (where I'm logged in as Administrator) - Connect using Windows Authentication (Administrator) - Create a new query, run EXEC sp_tables_ex 'MyDB'
This will return all the tables from the Access database.
I can also make a view pointing to MyDB...MyTable.
Enough prove to me It can work....
So far so good
But now the tricky part.
When I login as 'sa', I can't connect and will receive the following message:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "MyDB" returned message "'Full UNC to my access database' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.".Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 41Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "MyDB".
(In real life I want to connect to my SQL 2005 Server from a ASP.NET (2.0) application using SQL authentication, but as long as I can't get the above working this is not important for now)

I HAVE CREATED A SECURITY DATABASE USING A NEW WORKGROUP FILE WITH A NEW MDW FILE NAME. THE DATABASE ITSELF CONTAINS SEVERAL GROUPS OF USERS AND SEVERAL USERS. THE DATABASE WORKS AS DESIGNED. THE PROBLEMS IS IF I OPEN THIS DATABASE USING THE SYSTEM.MDW FILE, THE DATABASE OPENS AND GIVE ME COMPLETE ACCESS TO EVERYTHING.
I am trying to execute a DTS package that updates a SQL database from a Microsoft Access form using a command button. The computer I created the access app on is the same computer that hosts the SQL Server and when I run it form there it works fine. However when I run it from another machine across the network the package does not work and I am having login failure problems with other users even though I have added them to the database. I need to use Windows Authentication for this, here is the code I am using in VB on the MSFT Access form. Do I need to specify username & password if specifying a trusted connection?
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim dtsp As New DTS.Package dtsp.LoadFromSQLServer "MYSERVER", "SERVER_USER_NAME", _ "USER_NAME_PWD",DTSSQLStgFlag_UseTrustedConnection, "", _ "", "", "TGImport" dtsp.Execute
I'm switching over to SQL Server from Access I have an iif statement in access and i'm not to sure on how to do the same thing in SQL Server, any guidence is greatly appreciated. I was thinking about using a case statement but not sure on the syntax.
Access statment: Sum(IIf([Hit_Ratio]![STATUS_CD]='B',1,0))+Sum(IIf([Hit_Ratio]![STATUS_CD]='Q',1,0))+Sum(IIf([Hit_Ratio]![STATUS_CD]='L',1,0))+Sum(IIf([Hit_Ratio]![STATUS_CD]='K',1,0)) AS Quoted
Here a query Microsoft Access Query That I would like to convert to SQL. What replace the Word "Last" in SQL SELECT Contacts.FirstName, Last(Contacts.LastName) AS LastofLastNameFROM ContactsGROUP BY Contacts.FirstName;
here's a question i've always wondered the answer to,
you have a transaction log on sql 2000 which supposedly records all the sql commands (select, delete, insert, update) that are performed on your database.
now say you use ODBC and Microsoft ACCESS, you create a database file in Microsoft ACCESS with linked tables to your SQL Database via an ODBC connection.
now say you alter the data, maybe delete some records from that sql database using your linked table in Microsoft ACCESS
Would SQL 2000 (or any other version) record these actions in the log, even though the actions were carried out in Microsoft ACCESS? or has doing this completely negated the security offered by the transaction log feature?
do hope someone could shed some light on this, it's been bothering me for a while
I have a database in MSACCESS 2003 that is 680MB (after compacting) and contains 41 tables.
I tried to import these tables to SQL Server 2005 (express edition) using the :"upsizing wizard" provided in MSACCESS. The wizard works fine but all the tables are not being imported to SQL Server (only 19 tables are getting imported) and the size of the database in SQL Server (the ".mdf file") is 1.03 GB (I have tried using the "shrink" option also) . Further, when I try to open one of the tables (which has 625295 rows and 90 columns) , it takes lot of time to display all records.
So, my problem is do I need to set any options for any of these above issues, I tried to look for any information regarding this but was unsuccessful.
Any help on this will be very much helpful for me!
Hello I am developing a web application that will allow users to upload a .mdb file and from that file I need to populate an SQL database. I know the table name of the .mdb file, but I am unclear how to structure my data access layer correctly. How do I pull data from the .mdb file and once I have it how do i populate the SQL database?Any advice would be greatly appreciated.thanks!
I'm new to SQL server, still in the beginning stage of learning SQL Server. I'm here would like know, besides using the Connectivity from the DTS Designer to connect to different databases, is it possible to connect the database, i.e: Access via stored procedure? and how? Pls advise...
I'm have been trying to look for the solution via a lot of SQL Server site, but fail to get what I want.
What I'm trying to do is something like : First connect to the Database and Query the data, after that insert it into another database....
Not sure if I'm posting to the right group or not, pls tell me where else to post.
My question is: I have a microsoft access database on a client desktop that links to tables in sql server. Is there a way to encrypt the data that goes back and forth between access and sql?
In VS 2005, when we choose database connection, we can choose one of the above. My question is in what situations should we choose MS SQL Server Database File (SqlClient), and when should we choose Microsoft SQL Server?
I want to deploy a standalone desktop application with a backend database. Which backend database should I should and which of the above connection should I choose?
