Hi. Silly question time please.
I'm a newbie when it comes to SQL7.
I'm trying to connect via Access 97 VBA to a SQL server table. I can't seem to get it working at a basic level.
Has anyone got the basic syntax or sample piece of VBA code to connect to a SQL server. I've been searching everywhere to no avail so far.
Dave.
I recently rewrote an old ACCESS 97 application to work with MSSQL 7.
The program works fine until I use a form whiche opens several linked tables at the same time. When closing the Form I get (At unpredictable moments) an ODBC SQL SERVER DRIVER update failure error message.
All rights are set on the tables for Public and even then i keep getting this error at very odd moments. I also had a look in Access at the ODBC refresh rate which is set at 10sec , OLEDB refreshrate 10 sec, and refresh is set at 5sec.
I tried different combinations of timeout settings and even renewing the MDAC to version 2.7. Nothing helps.
Can anyone give me a tip as to look for the possible source of the error and how to fix it? Thanks! Vincent JS
I have migrated a database from Access to SQL. Promlem is that I cannot edit the records in the now linked tables. We are still using the Access front end. Why can't we edit the records?
I have an Access 97 database that I would like to "mirror" in my SQL server 2000 database.
Basically I would like SQL server to keep a current copy of an Access 97 database table which exists on remote machine on our network. Any time there is a change made to the Access table, I would like the SQL server to be updated automatically.
Is this something that is possible to do with replication/synchronization, or do I have to push the data up with another app?
The website i'm building is using an access97 database. Actually the database isn't very big but i hope it will become. So i would like to convert it to SQL 7.0 which seems to be more powerfull. Is there a software which can do it automatically? What are the modifications needed by ODBC ?
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?
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.
When Access date/time data is transformed to SQL7, it seems to work fine as long as the data contains date information. But, if the data is time only, there is the 2-day diff. coming out of Access.
For date/time data in Access, day 0 is 12/30/1899--for SQL7 it is 1/1/1900.
So, it appears that DTS first converts Access date/time data to a date formatted string and then sends to SQL. This will only be a problem for times....8:00 AM is stored to SQL as 8:00 AM on 12/30/1899, not 1/1/1900. If I try to calculate hours or minutes from midnight (date/time 0) I get a negative number.
Has anyone else encountered this? I guess my choice is to modify DTS to correct for the dates or to run an update once the data is moved.
I`m trying out SQLServer7, have installed it on my workstation, have been able to open access97 and link to sql7 tables I created. Want another user to use access97 to set up her own database and link to my sql7 tables. Do I need to install anything from the sql7 beta disk on her desktop? Right now she can`t link a sql7 table to her access97 db. Thanks.
We have an Access97 database with 122 tables. I try to use import and export wizard to import the data from access into SQL 2005 database. I find an interesting problem. When select all tables, the wizard give following errors:
Pre-execute (Error) Messages Error 0xc0202009: {DBD1EAB5-7865-4B89-A7BB-DDC8507D8119}: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc020801c: Data Flow Task: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "SourceConnectionOLEDB" failed with error code 0xC0202009. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc004701a: Data Flow Task: component "Source 64 - PlanClasses" (5206) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020801C. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
But if I divide importing as 2 steps: 1. import all tables before PlanClasses, it works. 2. import all tables after PlanClasses including PlanClasses, it works.
If I just import PlanClasses itself, it works, but I can not import all tables at once. Interesting thing is if I just unselect PlanClasses, it will have same error at the class right after PlanClasses. Is there size limitation when doing import at once?
I have an application written in Access 97 that connects to a SQL2000backend. One field is a description field that is a data type NTEXT in theSQL database. In my access form, I can not enter more than 255 characters.Before I converted the backend to SQL, the description field was a memofield in Access.What do I need to do to make it so I can enter more text into this field?
And while querying the linked server from the query analyzer using the following select command
SELECT * FROM REMOTE_OFFICE.RealEstate_Office1.dbo.E_GOV_RE_OK
I got the following error
Server: Msg 7312, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid use of schema and/or catalog for OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'. A four-part name was supplied, but the provider does not expose the necessary interfaces to use a catalog and/or schema. OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error].
I have created an Access2003 project (existing data) that links to external data. First I connected to a SQL Server 2000 database. Success. Then I tried to set up a Transact SQL data connection to a legacy MDW-secured Access97 database. (A third-party VB6 application goes against it, and we don't have the source code, so we cannot upgrade it.)
The Transact SQL link tests OK but I cannot select any of the tables or queries from the list presented. However, with the same credentials, I can use these same objects in Excel 2003.
When setting up the link in Access2003, I specify JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider, I enter the MDW file on the All tab, a username and a password on the Connection tab where I browse to the MDB file, and specify Shared Deny None on the Advanced tab. When I test the connection, it tests OK ("Test connection succeeded"). Yet on the "Select the Database and Table/Cube which contains the data you want" dialog, "(Default)" appears in the grayed-out dropdown. Then, beneath that dropdown, there is a grid with Name and Description columns. The grid contains query names but the grid is not enabled. The list of queries is this table is grayed out. Neither of the scrollbars works.
BUT... if I use the SAME username and password in Excel2003, and specify the same MDW, there is no problem working with these same database objects in the legacy Access97 database. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE WIZARD IN EXCEL THAT ALLOWS IT TO SUCCEED AND THE WIZARD IN ACCESS THAT CAUSES IT TO FAIL HERE? In Excel, the list of available providers says Microsoft Access Driver, not JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
I am using SSIS 2014 with the below .net framework version and installed in Windows server 2012 R2 . I have installed my client's odbc drivers (both 32 bit and 64 bit) in my production server and created ODBC system DSNs for 32 bit and 64 bit.
When i open SSIS 2014 and tried to create the odbc connection but i can able to see only the 32 bit system DSN connection ,i can't able to see my 64 bit odbc system dsn connection.

And i installed my client odbc drivers(32,64 bit) and created ODBC system DSNs in my local system and when i open ssis 2014 and i can able to see both the ODBC system DSNS(32,64) connections from SSIS ODBC connection.
I am using below version of .net framework in my local system which was installed in windows 7 and i have SSIS 2012 also installed in my system and i can able to see both ODBC connections using 2012 as well in my local system.

why i can not see the ODBC 64 bit system DSN connection from SSIS in my production server ?
I am using VB.NET 2005 and set up an ODBC connection via ODBC.ODBCConnection to a MDB database. Therefor, I use the "Microsoft Access ODBC Driver (*.mdb)".
When I set up a ODBCCommand like "ALTER DATABASE..." or "CREATE TABLE..." and issue it with the com.ExecuteNonQuery() command, I get an error from ODBC driver, that a SQL statement has to begin with SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE.
How can I use DDL statements via ODBC?
I would appreciate if you could help me to use ODBC for that - no OLE, no ADO.
I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this posting. Looking at the descriptions, it appeared to be the best choice.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP2. I have installed the SQL Native Client for XP. However, when I try to add a new data source through ODBC Connection Manager, SQL Native Client is not listed as an option. I have followed this procedure on three other systems with no problems. What would be causing the SQL Native Client to not show up in the list of available ODBC data sources?
Hi all,I am having trouble getting linked Oracle 9 server in MS SQL Server2005 Express to work properly. My machine is running Windows XP.The Microsoft and Oracle OLE DB Providers have problems dealing withOracle's Numeric Data Type, so I decided to use Microsoft's OLE DB forODBC Provider and an Oracle ODBC source. When using the Microsoft ODBCfor Oracle Driver in my ODBC source I have inconsistent behavior.Sometimes my queries are processed properly, then other times I get thefollowing errorOLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "ODBCBEAST" returnedmessage "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttrfailed".OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "ODBCBEAST" returnedmessage "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttrfailed".OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "ODBCBEAST" returnedmessage "[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]".Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL"for linked server "ODBCBEAST".I have no idea why sometimes I can connect to the linked server with noproblems andwhy other times it performs like this. I'm not changing anything aboutthe system I can think of. When I use an Oracle client (PL/SQL) I haveabsolutely no problems connecting. TNSPING returns that the connectionis good.This is unacceptable so I decided to try my luck with the Oracle 10gODBC driver. However when I use this and perform an openquery selectagainst the linked server I get back only 11 rows, when I know that thedatabase has over 100 rows (in fact when using the Microsoft ODBCdriver and it works that's what I get). I figured maybe the buffersetting needed to be raised in the ODBC configuration so I took it from64000 to 600000 (a magnitude of 10) but I still get back only 11 rows.I'm at my wit's end.Any suggestions on resolving one or the other problem would be muchappreciated.Thanks much
Please help share with me if you know the version compatibility matrix of Ms SQL Server, ODBC driver (sqlsrv32.dll), Driver Manager (odbc32.dll) and ODBC API spec. For instance, how can I know Ms SQL Server 2000 can work with which version of sqlsrv32.dll, a particular version of sqlsrv32.dll can work with which version of odbc32.dll and a certain version of sqlsrv32.dll/odbc32.dll conforms to which version of ODBC API spec (e.g. 3.5).
On localhost this application works fine but when I put on remote server. I am getting following errors. For both localhost and server, I am using same remote sql 2000. I will appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Arif

HeyI have developed a asp.net 2 system on my local machine using a local sql2000 server.Now i'm trying to deploy it to a windows 2003 server, using a sql2000 server on another windows 2003 server. I thought the only thing i had to do was to create a ODBC connection to the sql server, and change the connectionstring. But no :) What kind of changes do i need to do. Do i need to change the dataprovider. I get this error: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to sql Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings sql Server does not allow remote connections. (Provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to sql server) But i don't use a sql 2005 server. Pleace help :)
What is the native way of a front end app connecting to SQL server ? Heard it is faster than traditional ODBC. Is it SQL OLE ? If so, how do I work with ODBC mgr in windows control panel? SQL OLE is not there !
I get the follwing error when I try to link table in MS Access or try to connect to an oracle data source in a DTS Package. [ORACLE][ODBC ORACLE DRIVER][ORACLE OCI]ORA-12532: TNS:invalid argument. (#12532) [Microsoft][ODBC Drvier Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed (#0). I can set up the same datasource and connect to it on some machines but then on some others I get the above error. This is an orcale connection so there is no way to test it until I actually try to connect. I understand it might be a problem with WINS (resolving computer name to IP address. I do not know much about WINS, can someone tell me how to check WINS to see if this is my problem? Thanks
If your database is using NT authentication and a user creates an ODBC data source to your database, does this mean that this user can now read and write to your database?

I was wondering if anyone out there can help out. Anytime I run Query Analyzer I get the following error messages: (SQL Server Query Analyzer requires ODBC Driver version 3.7 or greater and ODBC Driver Manager version 3.5 or greater. Incompatible versions of odbc32.dll and/ or sqlsrv32.dll are installed on this machine. Are you sure you want to use SQL Server Query Analyzer?) After checking the web site the only version I came acrossed was ODBC version 2.65.0240 and I need version 3.7 or greater, can anyone tell me what to do now?
Has anyone connected from Access 2 16 bit ODBC to SQL Server 7?? I have not seen 16 bit ODBC Drivers. SQL 6.0 and 6.5 came with 16 bit drivers. PS: Phase one is to convert Access 2.0 to use SQL followed by phase to goto Access 2000.
Hi, I have Access database as front end for SQL Server 6.5. I go to the Control Panel - ODBC to install SQL Server driver, I have version 2.65.02.13 (07.05.97). When I try to connect I have error message:

Guys, If you have idea how to help me,please help!!! Thanks in advance Alona
Hey everyone, I have a very small SQL 6.5 server that we use for development purposes in our office. However, our other office now needs access to it as well and this is what I have done:
Since the other office is in a totaly diffrent domain, I have setup their PDC to log into our WINS server. Now that the networks can find each other (via TCP/IP across the internet), a two way trust has been established. However, even though we are able to see into each others networks they are NOT able to create an ODBC connection to our SQL server. It simply keeps responding, server not found. Any ideas? Or am I just out of luck here?
