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.

Hi
Can anyone from MS please confirm if we can tweak
the Sychronizer to hook into SQL Express rather than Access
Access is not a database for the real developer and its beyond me
and many in this forum why we are limiting the ability of developers to use SQL Express
Using Access is not only tacky but limits the performance of a serious system
and therefore the piblicity we can generate for MS
I look forward to peoples thoughts on this

In ADS Wizard's Log, it shows me "Pushing data to Access database"
but the Access database in my Desktop PC does not receive the data "pushed" from the "Device".
In the reverse direction, If I "Pull" data from Desktop PC's Access Database, it works.
Why? Any suggestion?
I already repeat this many times but the result are the same.
I did not turn on Windows firewall and Kaspersky internet security at all.
Thank you

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".
His current config.xml file looks like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SystemNode>
<AccessDB>C:Program FilesNOAA Release LoggerNOAA_ReleaseLogger.mdb</AccessDB>
<DeviceDB>Program FilesNOAA Release LoggerNOAA_ReleaseLogger.sdf</DeviceDB>
<Login>Joe Nobody</Login>
<URL>http://Joe Nobody:1024/</URL>
<WinDir>C:</WinDir>
</SystemNode>
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.

Hello,
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 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?
Thank you very much for your time
Regards
Linden.

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.

The following installation:
- 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)

Hello,
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
End Sub
Thanks Much!!

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

Hi,
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!
thanks

It works fine when I logged in with username 'sa' and psswrd 'sa' but when I log in with another user name and password I get the following error:

You must access this provider through a linked server."

Hi guys,
I need to provide some of my users an easy way of accessing a SQL Server table through MS Access so
that they can edit the data in the table.
Please let me know which of the following is more appropriate to accomplish this task.
1. Creating a Data Access Page (OR)
2. Creating a Link Table
I tried to create a Data Access Page but I could only be able to see but not edit the data in the table. But, I
guess there is a way to do that.
Please throw some light on this topic.
Thanks a lot for your time.
