Online Connection Between Access And SQL Server
Mar 23, 2007
Hello,
I am trying to develop a database solution for an organisation in
Indonesia.
This organization has a number of offices and users throughout the
country. They all need to maintain their own data, but I also need to
create a central database, to store all of the data, and share data
between the individual users. The problem is that the internet
connections are not reliable, so a online solution isn't possible. I
am planning to implement stand alone databases in Access, which "sync"
with the central server. This sync could happen automatically (maybe
daily), or could be initiated by the user. This Sync would/could take
place when the internet connection is working.
I am very familiar with Access, but I suspect that I will need to use
SQL Server for the central database. I have not used SQL Server
before, and have a few questions:
Is it possible to host a SQL Server, so that it is "Online"? What do I
need to do for this? Does this need to be hosted by an ISP, or could
it been hosted on a computer in our office? What are the security
considerations?
Is it then possible to connect to this SQL Server from the Access
databases in the various locations to "Sync" the data? If I could run
SQL statements from the stand alone databases which could access the
online SQL Server I could write the code for the Sync procedure. The
bit that I am unsure of is how to connect to the SQL Server?
Could anyone point me in the right direction? Examples? References?
What sort of technology to use?
I know VB and how to write SQL statements, it's just the connectivity
that I am unsure of.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Michael

We have SQL cluster installed on top of windows cluster on VM environment. Node1 and Node2 under Windows Failover Cluster. SQL instance is currently on node2 the instance is up and running, but SQL Cluster service remains online pending and it restarts the instance on every 5 minutes.
SQL Browser service are running successfully.TCP/IP ports are enabled and configured.If we start the SQL server agent it is on for seconds and stopped immediately  .Cluster Service is attempt to connect to the SQL service every few minutes (setting in SQL cluster resource) for the IsAlive check, if this fails then the SQL resource is restarted even if the instance was online. Hope this is what happening exactly.

I'm currently developing an online questionnaire system for mydissertation and I have now come across a few problems. I'm developingan online approach recommendation system. The basic feature is that aclient will answer a number of questions online and based on theresults an approach will be recommended.There will be four pages with 5 questions on each site, this will allbe sent to a database and based on this an approach will be generated.I'm using mysql, php and html w/javascript for developing this but theproblem I have is that I'm not sure how the calculation andsuggestions will be coded. I've though of putting an average result into the database and then retrieve a ‘matching' approach based on thiswith querying using php.Any other recommendation is MUCH appreciated.many many thanks!

Hi all,
I'm working on a project where I have to create a password protected form for teachers to submit reports about students.
Originally I was going to use asp.net to create the form, but unfortunately the server I'm working with will not be granted asp functionality in the allotted timeframe.
To solve this issue I have another idea. So I will ask a few questions to help with research before I begin coding.
Is it possible to create a windows application that can connect to an access database hosted online? The windows app will need to be be able to update, insert, and select information from the database.
There is only going to be about 30-40 people using this windows application once or twice a week.
Thus I envision taking a password protected access database and dropping it onto a server.
The windows application will have the online location of the database embeded into the code. (connection string)
From there on out coding for the windows application should be the exact same as if the database was hosted locally on the computer, correct?
Also,
1. What is a good way to check and make sure the computer is connected to the internet before my application tries to access the database?
2. Are there any drastic security issues with this process that I should think about. The database will only be password proected, and the windows application will take a username/password from the user and check it against a table before they are able to submit info to the database.
I just need to be pointed in the right direction for this project.
Thanks.

I have recently upgraded to SQL2014 on Win2012. The Access front end program works fine.
But, previously created Excel reports with built in MS Queries now fail with the above error for users with MS 2013. The queries still work for users still using MS 2007.Â
I also cannot create any new queries and get the same error message. If I log on as myself on the domain to another PC with 2007 installed it works fine, so I don't think it is anything to do with AD groups or permissions.

Hi:
No matter how I configure my link going thru EM I get a 7399 or 7303 error. First I tried to link to an Access 2000 db on a Windows 98 station. Next I installed Access 2000 on the test server with SS7, SP 2 (Windows NT 4, SP 5) and still the same errors. Is it possible to set up Access 2000 as a linked server on SS7? Can you give me the brainless man's walk-thru so I can get over this hump?
Thanks in advance,
Gary

hi at all, i know that in here there was a lot of thread over this argument, but none can helps me.
I'm newbie on sqlserver. I'm first installed an instance of SQL Server 2000 with enterprise manager.
As previous topics i cannot log into server because 'sa' user is not associated with a trusted connection. In installation time i selelected "windows only" authentication (because in mixed mode at end of installation i caught an error and installation was canceled). Now i **must** to connect with "sa" user, because i must to connect on sql server via jdbc driver from a java application. So i really cannot use windows authentication, but i must use sql authentication.
Someone, ***please*** (i'm really deprived of hope, i spent 1 entire day to install correctly server and client components!!!!), can guide me to configure my installed sql server instance to accept connections with sql authentication?
My sql server version is 8.00.194.
thank you at all!

I just installed SQL Server Management studio express. I am trying to remotely connect to a SQL Server Express 2005 remotely. I was given the server name, user name and password, and used SQL Server authentication. It connected fine, and I was able to get at the intended database.
I then went to ODBC data sources to add this SQL server using SQL authentication. I entered the server, user and password, and I got a nebulous "could not connect" error. I thought is may be because I still was connected in SQL Server Management studio express, so I closed it and tried again with the same error. I then reopened SQL Server Management studio express and tried to reconnect, and got the same nebulous error, and have not been able to connect since.
I tried rebooting and reinstalling SQL Server Management studio express, but had the same result. Does anyone have any idea what I may have done and how to undo?
Thanks,
Steve Colino

Hello,
I have an Access .adp file that's connected to a SQL Server. I can run small queries just fine, but some of my queries take several minutes to run. When I try to run a lengthy query I get an error message that says "Timeout Expired".
I believe that this error is the one that is described here on MSDN online:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/243464
I tried to implement a solution similar to this in .adp file by creating this subroutine:
----------------------------------------------
Sub BypassTimeout()
CurrentProject.Connection.CommandTimeout = 0
MsgBox "The subroutine ran"
End Sub
-----------------------------------------------
I know that the subroutine is running because I'm seeing the message in the MsgBox statement. (This sub runs everytime the .adp file is opened).
However, doing this still doesn't seem to prevent me from getting the "Timeout Expired" error message when I try to run a lengthy query.
Does anyone know a way around this? I believe the default timeout is 30 seconds ... but SURELY microsoft did not intend for .adp files to not be able to run queries that are longer than 30 seconds.

HI,
I am using SqlServer2005 as data base for my web application. I am able to connect to the database through DBCP connection pool . Its working fine for 2 user. When ever 2 users do transaction, it works fine. But 3 users do the transaction, its trowning error.Even i increase the pool size the behavior is same.
error:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Server failed to resume the transaction, desc: 3f00000002.
For a change I wrote a connection pool to access the DB. I am getting the same error. i.e. Its working fine for 2 user and throws error for more than 2 users.
Is there any setting to be made?
Same application is working fine for Oracle10g.

I have a Microsoft Access application which uses linked SQL Server tables. I would like to create an ODBC DSN which would be available to all users so that I don't have to create a DSN on each machine. Can this be done? The Access application resides on a shared drive (Windows). Thanks for your help.

Hi,
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,

I have an Access 2003 project (sp2) and the data in SQL Server 2005 Express.
My problem is when I try to make querys, diagrams, etc in Access, a warning tell me that I have installed a version of Access that is older than the version of SQL and all the designs that I make not be saved, and recommend a service pack for Access 2003 to correct the problem.
Can anybody help me, where is this SP??

Hi
I have recently downloaded SQL Server Express which I have installed using Windows authentication mode. I cannot seem to be able to make a connection to SQL Server from Dreamweaver or Microsoft Visual Web Developer as I am getting an error Server does not exist or access is denied....
I am relatively new to all of this, so would appreciate any advice....
When I installed SQL Server Express I chose Windows Authentication. When I fire up SQL Express and view Security option - the installation program has set up an sa login with a random password. I did not set this password, but think this might be a reason why I can't connect. To rectify the problem I tried creating a new user in SQL Server Express with a password that I specified. On going in to check the settings, I notice SQL Server Express has gone and changed it from the password that I set up.
Now when I try and connect to SQL Server Express I specify the following in the connection paramaters
Server: BGIRLSQLEXPRESS
Database The database name that I've created
User: the new user that I created
Password: the password I created as part of new user setup
Now I get error message Server does not exist or access denied
Is the problem to do with passwords or perhaps one of the many parameters one seems to have to set up? How can I change a password if I didn't create it? Is there anywhere I can reset it?
PLEASE HELP - I have literally spent 3 days attempting to get this working and am about to give up entirely. Due to my lack of experience, I need very specific step by step instructions..

Access Connection
create a new Connection Manager by right-clicking in the Connection Managers section of the design area of the screen. Select New OLE DB Connection to bring up the Configure OLE DB Connection Manager dialog box. Click New to open the Connection Manager. In the Provider drop-down list, choose the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider and click OK.
Browse to the Access database file and connection set up---all good!!!
Dataflow task
Add an OLE DB Source component
Double-click the icon to open the OLE DB Source Editor. Set the OLE DB Connection Manager property to the Connection Manager that I created . Select Table from the Data Access Mode drop-down list.
I cannot see the tables set up as set up as pass-through table types to a Oracle 9i db
Any ideas please help
thanks in advance

Hi, here is my problem
I am trying to conncet to an SQL Server that is on the net. The name of the server looks like : sqlServer.TheCompanyOwingIt.Com and it listens to port 2433
I am opening enterprise manager and trying to connect ,giving the name of the server and the credentials but no luck. I also tried opening hte client Network utility , created an alias for that server, specifying 2433 as the port but no luck again. Finally i tried to change the port of my sql server to be 2433 (instead of 1433), no luck again !!! Any ideas ? (there is no firewall running on the PC, but there is a router which might (?) cause the problem ? (i tried to port forward 2433 , but i am not sure if i did it correctly).
Any ideas, suggestions will be greatly appreciated
Thx in advance

Hi All, first post.
I have done a bit of searching around and cant find a clear answer to this question.
Current Setup
Desktop application (c#) that connects to a SQL Server 2005 express database on the same local network as the application (currently 3 users)
It is only a very small company and has just taken on their first remote worker, but expects to take on another 6-8 over the next few months. They have asked for the database to be moved online.
The application was written in such a way that everything has been done using no stored procs, or views, it is all native SQL.
This will be my first DB hosted online and before I go ahead and do anything I just wanted to make sure what I have to do is correct, sorry if this is a very basic question, although I have been programming for a long time, I have never had the chance to do any online databases before.
Will this work.
1.Find a SQL Server 2005 Hosting company.
2.Move the database to the server.
3.Setup the users permissions.
3.Alter the connection string in the application to point to the new location.
So the only thing that would change would be a new connection string in the application preferences?
Or am I living in a dream world, because nothing is ever that simple.
One thing I am worried about is the security/visiblity of the database and data as it travels from the server to the client and back.
Thanks for any advise you can give.
Mark

are a mess, reminiscent of the structurless "goto" programming of days past. One of you brainiacs need to erect a "real" getting started section, with procedural steps on how a first time user can successfully download, install, and use SQL Server Express. Not all of us are working in corporations where the guy in the next cubicle can answer questions for newbies.
I will try once again, nicely, to ask a question about installing SQL Server Express Edition SP2 onto a Windows Vista machine. That drama will take place in another post.

Hello,I am working with VS2005pro and sql server 2005 (tables, SP). Nothing online yet but it should be soon for tests, and it will be for me the first time with sql server...I have a very basic question about the way we can keep on adding tables, stored procedures... when the application is already online.I'll try to explain: once online my users will enter data in the database (good point!). But on my side I have to keep on developing new features (new tables, new stored procedures...) and why not add new rows in tables, and I would like to add them to this database on the server once I have finished my development.So what's the best way to work ? Do I need to work online directly on my .mdf database (which I wouldn't like to do) ? Or do I keep on developing on my own computer, on a development database, and then is there a way to update/synchronize with the database on the server in order to add the newly created tables and SP ?Thank for you help.
