Modify VB6 App To Use SQL 2005 Data Instead Of Access 2003
May 19, 2007
I have an existing VB6 application which uses an Access 2003 backend datafile, however, I would now like to modify this to use an SQL 2005 datafile, but I don't know how to go about this or the implications when the application is installed on another machine.
The code I use for accessing the Access 2003 file is below, I want to convert this code to access an SQL 2005 datafile instead, can anyone give me some pointers on the best way to go about this, or code sample.
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Dim dbs As ADODB.Connection
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
Set dbs = New ADODB.Connection
dbs.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & _
strNetworkLocation & "MyDB.mdb; JET OLEDBatabase Password=MyPassword"
With rst
.Open "SELECT TOP 1 * FROM tblProject WHERE pjProject = '" & _
lstProject.Text & "'", dbs, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
strDrawingRef = !pjStartupDrawing
strProject = lstProject.Text
frmMain.OpenFile
.Close
End With
Thank-you in advance for any help you may provide.

I have a customer using a web app where the data is drawn from a database in SQL Server 2005.
In addition to its normal tables, the database has two lookup tables which are deleted, recreated, and repopulated once a week. The data for these two tables comes from two queries in an Access database which essentially turn many related tables into two flat tables.
I know this can be done with SSIS, I've done it, I suppose it could be done witth SSMA for Access, but could this operation be done with a stored prodecure ? Most steps would not be a problems. They would be:
- Drop the two tables in SQL Server (no problem)
- Recreate them (no problem, maybe better to just delete all existing records, either way)
- Connect to the query in the Access database (here is where I have questions)
- Simply do an INSERT from the Access query to the SQL table.
So my question is whether we can connect to an Acess query from a stored proc, I suppose using ODBC.
Can this be done? If so how? Are there any papers on this topic?
Msny thanks,
Mike Thomas

I am trying to connect through ODBC connectivity, but it will not allow me to do so. I have investigated this matter. It leads me back to the server, because as I was configuring my client side database. It kept asking for the DSN(datasource name), but I was unable to choose one because there wasn't one to choose. Which is my current dilemma, How can I do this and have it available to choose from the server to satisfy the Access database?
I went to the domain where the software resides but I don't know what steps to take? I also found an interesting piece on microsoft about Kerberos, but I can't follow along according to the instructions it has. I have Access 2003 & SQL SERVER 2005, HELP...!
Basically, this is right off the heels of the install. I setup the server without the connectivity, but it is running the current configuration.

Hello,
If I want to access or modify my local subscription data(not the configuration) how can I do that(from sql server 2005 or from asp.net)? Also can i update directly to the local subscriptions data or do I need another layer which will update from a table for example??
Thank you

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 continue to receive an error that states "The version of Microsoft Access doesn't support design changes with the version of Microsoft SQL Server your Access project is connected to. See the Microsoft update website for the latest information."
I'm using Access 2003 that I ran a database through the Upzinging Wizard with a copy of SQL Server 2005.
I have searched the Office Update pages and can't locate anything that helps, although I'm sure I'm probably missing something.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

In my office, we offer support for applications developed in Access 2003 in a SQL Server 2000 environment, for some of our clients.
In one PC we have installed MsOffice 2003 and recently installed SQL Server 2005 personal edition, but now we have a problem because there is a compatibility problem between them. We need some upgrade for Access to avoid it, but can't find it.
Can We fix this problem, maintainning Access 2003 and SQL Server 2005 personal edition and maintainning the support for our clients?
Notice that our clients can't upgrade, in the short time.

Hi,
I have an Access 2003 front end that contains a number of linked tables on SQL Server 2005 SE. I recreated the application on a second network for testing and was able to use the Linked Table Manager to refresh the database connections. The problem is when I try and add another linked table. I select Link Tables from the menu and then when I select 'ODBC Databases()' from the 'Files of Type' list box, the Link window closes right away.
Any suggestions?

Kind of a weird problem. Just migrated some Access tables to SQL 2005 backend. This is only happening on one users machine, WinXP and Access 2003 with the linked tables to SQL 2005. When they try to run a query that has a date criteria, Access will crash. Any other type of criteria, the query works fine. Things I have tried:
1) Installing Office Service Pack 3
2) Repairing Office 2003
Thanks.

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!

I upsized an Access 2003 database to SQL Server Express Edition 2005, and have converted all tables, queries, reports and macros successfully so far. The snag I'm running into involves using macros embedded in buttons on certain forms using Access as the frontend.
With these forms, the idea is to navigate to a certain record, and hit a button to bring up a print preview view of a report. Based on the record you're looking at in the form, it should check against the data in the table to which it refers, and pull up a single record in the report.
In access as a standalone, using the OpenReport command, the code was as follows:
[MRB Report Data]![MRB Report Number]=[Forms]![MRB Data Input]![MRB Report Number]
MRB Report Data is the table containing data, and MRB Report Number is the primary key (autonumber). MRB Data Input is the form in question, and the second MRB Report Number is the control field that references back to the MRB Data Input table.
When I try to run this using Access as a frontend, an error occurs at the first '!' - is there a different syntax I need to specify to reference a form in this case?
Thanx in advance.

we have run access 2003 application using SQL 2005 server
and the data transfer rate is extreamly slow.
we are using ODBC connection
and the access apllication works very fast with SQL 2000.
we have the tested the comptabilty of the application to SQL 2005 with Microsoft wizard and it had no problems.
even when i run simple application on the sql 2005 server, it runs very slowly.
i am using the MDAC clients ODBC component and the SQL Native Clients one.
which eliminates the possibilty of network problem.
what could be the problem???

I initially created an Access application within Access 2003 which I subsequently migrated to SQLExpress 2005 (Tables only) using Microsoft SQL Migration Assistance for Access 2003 (SSMAA) and continue to use Access 2003 as a front end, this really was easy and worked perfect. Now I added a new table to my SQLExpress DB and need to link to it from my Access application but can not find a way to do so in the same way that the SSMAA does. I need to run the Access 2003 application in share mode from multiple PC in the LAN. If I try linking to the table using an ODBC connection I can only access from the PC where the link was done! Any ideas? THanks in advance.

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?

Hi, We have moved our Access 2003 database to SQL Server 2005. A number of the original tables contained MEMO fields and these became nvarchar(MAX) fields in SS 2005. We continue to use the original Access application and therefore have linked the tables to the Access application via ODBC connection. However, the fields that were originally Memo in Access native tables are brought over as TEXT fields (255 char limit) by the linking process.
Is there a way I can link the tables and have those big text fields be Memo fields in the linked tables?? Or is there some way to work around this? (Moving to Access 2007 is not an option at this time.) I would really appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks.

We migrated a MS Access 2003 mdb into MS Access 2007. The mdb has linked tables to SQL Server via a DSN and utilizes a mdw file. In 2003, the username/password is "passed" to SQL Server, so the UID/PWD that is used for opening the mdb, is used in SQL Server.
Opening the same file in 2007 using the same mdw, gives a secondary login on SQL Server.
Is there a way to have MS Access 2007 pass the UID/PWD to SQL Server on linked tables, the same way that 2003 does?
Thanks!

I developed a database with Access 2003 and everything was working good until my tech came in and reformated my hard drive and install a new Ghost image that met our company standards.
Now I cannot go in and make any changes to any of the tables, queries and forms. All of this started when a new Ghost image was installed on my pc.
The message I get when I try to open my database is "You do not have permission to run "tblSwitchboard." I get the same error message when I try to do anything at all on the database.
I am at a loss as to what to do. Please help.

Hi,
I'm trying to simplify the deployment process of my project. I already had some troubles with the config files but lets say I solved that issue. I'm going to read a flat file and set the variables of my packages from this file. I was thinking to use a Script Task to do that but I will need to copy this task in every package (I have at least 30). So if I want to make some change this will be painful.
Then, I came up with the idea of creating a Custom Task called Config File Task. I'm working on this but I got stuck trying to get the variables from the package that is running my Config File Task.
This is the code I had in the Script Task:
Dim streamReader As New StreamReader(Dts.Variables("ConfigFilePath").Value.ToString)
Dim line As String
Dim lineArray As String()
Dim variableName As String
Dim variableValue As String
Dim readConfigurations As Boolean = False
While (streamReader.Peek() <> -1)
line = streamReader.ReadLine()
If line = "[CONFIGURATIONS]" Then
readConfigurations = True
ElseIf line = "[/CONFIGURATIONS]" Then
readConfigurations = False
Else
If readConfigurations And line <> "" Then
lineArray = line.Split("|".ToCharArray())
variableName = lineArray(0).Trim()
variableValue = lineArray(1).Trim()
If Dts.Variables.Contains(variableName) Then
Dts.Variables(variableName).Value = variableValue
End If
End If
End If
End While
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
All I want to do is set the variables that exists in each package from the config file. In my UI Class (ConfigFileTaskUI.cs) I can have access to the variables via the TaskHost which is passed as an argument of Initialize() method.
Any thoughts? I'd really appreciate some help!
P.S. I've been working on this for 2 days!

I Used SQL 2005's studio tocopy the database from Machine B to Machine A.The only major difference is the O/S and SQL, the machines are samespeed, however Machine A has twice the memory and faster disk; so Iwould expect it to be faster.Can anyone think of smoking guns I might be missing?TIA
