Hi there,
I just upsized my access database which has several tables and query linked to one of the tables residing on a seperate access database. When I do add in the diagram section, I see only table, then my question how would I be able to do the same thing under SQL Server 2005? thank you
After Upsizing a table to sql I linked to that table using access db
Now when i use one of my forms i get a [Invalid Object name "tablename''], not sure why but i am clearly link and the table is in sql!
Can you help!
When importing a Microsoft Access97 database table, I noticed it imported Text fields as datatype NVARCHAR instead of VARCHAR. Why is this, and will this cause me any problems in the future (i.e. related fields in other tables may be VARCHAR,etc)? If so, what can I do about it?

I am have created a test table in enterprise manager v8 and linked this table to an access database. I am able to append to the table from access but cant delete or update.
Ive set the permission settings to allow the user to update and del so cant work out why this isnt working?
ANyone got any ideas?
Hello,
Could someone please tell me (step by step as I am new!) how to establish a link from reporting services to an access database?
Thnaks,

I created a SQl Server 7 database and used an Access 97 frontend on the same computer. The Access frontend uses linked tables to reach the SQl server. The security setup I have is based on the NT Domain Accounts and whatever group
I have them in (example: Mr. D is in Marketing therefore he is in a NT Domain
Group called "SQL_MARKETING"...the SQL Server recognizes that everyone in this
group has access to whatever role I have designated for it in the database").
I can access the linked tables fine on my computer at my desk or at the server. Another person with the exact same administration rights as me can
get to the server through the network neigborhood or by mapping..and they
can access the Access frontend with no problem from their computer. But
when they try to open a linked table they recieve an error message that
the ODBC connection has failed. We are all running Access 97 service pack
2 and another person and me have the exact same administration..but only
I am able to access the Access linked SQL tables but not him.I tried deleting
the ODBC system dsn on the server and the linked tables and then re-adding them and the ODBC link but to no avail. Does anyone know why this would
be occuring? Thank You in advance.
and the
I tried this syntax in SQL Mngt Studio which i got from SQL menu.
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'Test2',
@provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
@srvproduct = 'OLE DB Provider for Jet',
@datasrc = 'C:MSOfficeonus.mdb'
GO
Linked is created but when i tried to open the table from bonus.mdb using the linked servers-Test2-Catalogs-System Catalogs-default-Tables the tables are not showing and throwing an error of OLE DB provider ....... for linked server "Test2" reported an error. Authentication Failed. Cannot initialize..
We recently upgraded a number of databases from MS Access 2000 to SQL Server 2000. I need to make it so that users can display the data from the SQL Server so I created some link tables in Access for them to view the data without using SQL Server Enterprise Manager. This works fine in tables with only a few thousand rows of data. However some of the tables have 100K+ rows of data, and these are not displaying the data. When someone tries to view the data in one of these tables all they see is #Deleted in every column. Is it possible to link to tables in SQL Server with large numbers of rows and view this info in Access?

OK here is my situation: I work in a laboratory with a 10 year old instrument that stores results in an Access 97 DB. The DB is beautifully designed and implemented. The problem is that since the software is so old, once the DB gets above a few MB in size the application starts to fail. So their solution is to Backup (make a copy) and Cleanup (delete data older than X days) once a week. So what I end up with is a bunch of copies of the DB, which fragments the data that I need. In order to get the data results I have been using an Access 2003 DB linked to this one (because I can't create Views in that database). The lab users then use the linked DB directly or I have written some automation code in Excel VBA (ADO) to simplify it for the other users. This allows us to query data immediately as it is produced.
My hope is that I can somehow get all of the data into a SQL Server DB. Now I have imported one of the backup copies of the DB in and the table structure and data imports fine into SQL Server, but I end up with duplicate rows because the different DB backup files have overlapping data, and for some reason there aren't PKeys. Also, I'd prefer to have some way of automating the input. Something like a trigger on the Access table so that any new data is imported into the SQL DB automatically. I doubt this is possible, but that is generally what I am trying to do and I am out of ideas. The ultimate goal is that the SQL DB will always be "updated" and I can use that as my query source and take advantage of the power of SQL Server.
Hopefully that all made sense... if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.
Thanks for your time.
Is there a way to link MS Access tables with SQL Server tables so the client app sees them as tables from one database?
I have tried linked server but it appears that it gets stale after a while and needs to be re linked from time to time which is not very practical.
Hi,
I have an existing Access DB with many Tables, Forms, Queries and Reports. I need to put a SQL Server Back end on this database.
Do I need to code a mirror images of these objects or is there some way to export these into SQL Server?
Also, where do I deal with assigning usernames and passwords? Access or SQL Server. I need to have different views for different users based upon their rights (user, admin)
Thanks,
Mark
Hello,
I am using MS Access 2000 as a front end to a SQL Server 2000 db. When I link to the SQL Server db using a DSN, the SQL Server table pk's and indexes are not coming over with the link. The pk's and indexes do exist in SQL Server. I haven't had to link to these tables in over a year, but they used to link just fine.
Do you have a suggestion as to where to look at this problem?
Thanks you - Darryle
Hi, I need to link an Access 97 database to sql server 2000. I can't use Enterprise Manager so I have created a simple asp.net page using sp_addlinkedserver and sp_addlinkedsrvlogin.
The mdb file is on a network share, then I have permissions problems: here is a sample
sp_addlinkedserver 'test', 'Access 97', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'\SVKNFS080Pshareaccess97db1.mdb', 'efco'
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'test', false, 'sa', 'Admin', NULL
I have no problems executing these stored procedures (the linked server is added in sysservers table), but when I try to query the access database
SELECT * FROM test...profile
I get this error
Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server][OLE/DB provider returned message:
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\SVKNFS080Pshareaccess97dboutlet.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.]
The mdb file is not locked, I think is a permission's problem.
Can anyone help me ?
Thanks in advance
We recently installed SP2 on our SQL Server 7.0 database, and it appears to have changed the way Access databases are linked. Any user other than SA cannot connect to the linked Access tables. We receive the error 7302, which is 'Could not create an instance of OLE DB provider...'. Before the SP2 upgrade, this link was working fine, and non SA personnel (DBOs included) could connect to the linked DB and run queries.
We tried dropping and recreating the Access link, and it still has the same results. We also tried connecting to another Access database, and had the same results. The Access databases we are trying to connect to have no built in security, and the sharing permissions appear to be working because the SA can connect.
Has anyone else run across this error? Is it a problem with SP2?
Hi,
I am using an MDB file to talk to a SQL Server. I would like to use pass-through queries to keep as much of the processing on the server as possible. However, I have been told that the results of such queries will be read-only. How do I keep the processing on the server but generate read-write answers to my queries?
Thanks

is this possible through linked table manager?
Please advise?
Hello,We have a database in MS SQL 2000 and I'm trying to link to it from MSAccess XP. I've created a user with full access to one specific tablein the MS SQL database, but Access won't write to it.I can open this table in MS Query Analyzer and log-in as the user, andI can do update, delete, and select queries just fine... but when Ilink to the table from MS Access using the same MS SQLusername/password, I can only read the data... no write or delete.Since I can update data fine in MS Query Analyzer, I assumepermissions are setup properly. Anyone know why I can not edit thelinked data from MS Access?Thanks,Alex.
View 1 Replies View RelatedLooks like the Office 2003 MS Access has no support for creating a linked server and implement design changes. While you could link to the SQL 2005 tables, which show up as queries in MS Access 2003, any further use of the linked queries are not supported unless the Access 2003 version came out after the SQL 2005 release. What kind of an update is needed, or fix is needed so that Access projects can be developed?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have an app that creates and attaches tables from SQL Server into an Access mdb using an ODBC link from VB6 using DAO 3.51 on Windows 2000. Recently I upgraded to SQL Server Express edition and tested it. It worked fine against the Express Edition. So, I installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on our Server hoping that they operate identically. How wrong one can be! the same code that worked against Express Edition does not work on Standard Edition.
It is strange that the App works for about 5 seconds which attaches about 38 tables and after that the connection drops and I have a hell of a time to get the rest of the tables linked. The error that comes up is:
Connection failed:
SQLState: '01000'
SQL Server Error: 10060
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]ConnectionOpen (connect()).
Connection failed:
SQLState: '08001'
SQL Server Error: 11
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]General network error. Check your network documentation.
The PC that I am using to connect is in a different domain to the Server where the SQL Server database resides. I thought that domains might be the reason. But even joining the PC to the same domain as the server still does not work and behaves the same. So I do not think it is a domain related issue.
I have also looked at the SQL Server and database configurtaions. I cannot see anywhere any specific time out of around 5 seconds. Even the time out through the SQL Server ODBC driver is set to 30 seconds by default as far as I know. So, it looks like there is a time out somewhere but I am absolutely confused as to where this 5 second time out is comming from.
I also thought permissions on the database or tables might be the issue but after looking at the database and table permissions, they all look OK. The user has prettymuch the same access as the SA on the database.
Has anybody came across this problem? If so, I appreciate if someboday can give me a hint as to where I can start.
Thanks,

Little puzzle this.I need to link from SQL2000 to Access to get to a table held within anAccess DB. Now you can link within Access to a SQL table, but can thisbe done the other way round ? It's the first time I've needed to dosomething like this.What I have is an application which was written (by me) with an Accessbackend (to run on a CD) and now it needs to run on SQL. However, Iwant to be able to swap over between backends so that I can choosewhere this runs from. I've done this with the sole exception of onetable. Previously most of the data was held in one MDB file and a linkto another (one local copy and one on CD). My queries use the link toquery both local and the CD copy data together.I can re-write things if I need to, but I was curious about there beinga way of doing this. What I want in effect is to query a view on SQL,but the data will be held in Access instead of on SQL.I suppose I can import as I need it as the data is purely read only. Idon't think this can be done, but wanted to check first. I can alwaysmove the remainder of the data over to SQL if needed. It's not a bigproblem, just something I'm curious about.Any pointers would be appreciated.Thanks in advanceRyanp.s. In case anyone wonders why I have taken this approach it isbecause we have a query tool and data that we send out to clients onCD. Some now want this web based, so I will publish the application ona Citrix server, and by changing a config file can swap within theapplication to point to SQL (by changing the ODBC settings). This way,I only need one copy of the application and can change backends as Ineed to.

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.
Can someone help me with how I should set the relationship in my address tables and how they will affect the deleting of a client?
So, if I have:
tblClients ClientID
tblClientAddresses AddressID
tblClientAddressLinks AddressID, ClientID
Currently I have them set as a 1-M from tblClients to tblClientAddressLinks and a 1-M from tblClientAddresses to tblClientAddressLinks
If I try and delete a client and there address is shared wont this go very wrong?
So here is what happens when I try and delete a client:
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK_tblClientAddressLinks_tblClients". The conflict occurred in database "DBSQL2", table "dbo.tblcLIENTAddressLinks", column 'clientID'.The statement has been terminated.
Here is what happens when I try and delete an address:
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK_tblClientAddressLinks_tblClientAddresses". The conflict occurred in database "DBSQL2", table "dbo.tblClientAddressLinks", column 'Address_ID'.The statement has been terminated.
I am trying to link a table from a MS SQL database into access97 thru ODBC. When I do this, I get the message "Can't define field more than once." When I look at the table in SQL, there are no duplicate field names, however, when I bring the table in to do a Crystal Report, I see there are 2 fields that have duplicate field names 6 times. (Evidently Crystal doesn't care about this as Access does.) Any clues on what is happening?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to hear your thoughts on a philosophy I adhere to.
As a rule of thumb I've always preached that Unique Indexes are for linking tables and Primary Keys are used to ensure that records aren't duplicated. I’ve embraced this philosophy for a couple reasons, the main one being that I don’t have to create numerous foreign key fields in the foreign key table.
However I’ve done most of my programming in Access and am now in need of something more robust (SQL Server v7) and I’m wondering if I need to reconsider.
I do also have a how to question; that being is it possible to create a table join on a unique index in SQL Server v7 and if so how? I would like to have an Auto Number / Auto Incremented / Unique Identifier field in the Primary Key table that links to a numeric field in the Foreign Key table.
Thanks in advance

Rather than using the upsize wizard in MS Access to connect to tables on a backend SQL server, how would I go about linking an Access Database to an existing table on an SQL server?
Thanks, Phil
I would like to create a MSAccess97 front end for some SQL7 data.
I created an odbc source system dsn for the server holding the SQL7 data.
When I try to add a table to my Access97 database by linking it to a SQL7 table, the only choices presented me are tables in the default database for SQL7 on my server. How do I link to tables in another database on that server? Thanks.
