Please Help...I Am Ripping My Hair Out
Apr 19, 2008
I was using access with visual studio express but issues and advice steered me to server express
However I cannot seem to pass the first hurdle
I have created a table and relevant dataset.
I have created a form to hold to view, update, insert and delete i.e. the form has a database strip at the top.
But when I try to add, update or delete records, the database does not reflect the changes.
I saw a forum that stated that changing the database property to "copy if newer", i did this but still no effect.
Is VB really this difficult. I thought with my experience of access and vba I would learn quickly but it seems that I have to take 4 steps back to take one forward.
My intention is ti build quite an indepth application that generates reports and some advanced stuff. But I am wondering if it is worth it as after three weeks I haven't been able to create an application that can communicate with a database then add, delete and update some info. At this rate I might be able to sum a set of records after a year.
I really am thinking of going to a php/mysql application. Is VB really worth it after three weeks of trawling the internet for help, not finding it, coming up with a new idea, trying to find info on the internet, not finding it and so on...
To make matters worse when I wrote this post earlier and tried to post it, something failed and I have had to type it again. Perhaps a higher being is steering me away.
Anyway I imagine people will probably ignore this as in early post but if someone knows what I am doing wrong then please help.

Ok so every week I have to download a file containing in excess of 40000 products. I then have to change the category ids to suit my system. Is there a script or something that I could create so I just run it each week to do a search and replace and then loop until all category ids have been changed.
Table = ecommstore
Column = section
I would need to change say from 84 to 1 then 86 to 2, 87 to 3 etc etc

SQL Server 2000 - Backend
Access 2000 Runtime - Front End
Connecting via ODBC
I have read loads and loads of examples and looked at other sources of info for help on this but am struggleing big time.
I have multiple users working in the same database table. The problem is they often get an error message about the record has been changed and would they like to save the changes to clipboard etc etc.
I basicly want to implement pessimistic locking for my tables. So once a user has started to edit that record nobody else can get to it.
Can anybody help?
Many thanks

I am the only DBA for a company of about 200 employees which makes about 100 million a year; I have 8 SQL servers some with over 70 databases on them that feed our web sites and educational web sites. I also have a few databases that are between 75 and 120 Gig that is for our circulation system. I am the Systems admin for all of the systems that run of my SQL server, so that makes our circ system, tradeshow system, accounting system, web sites there are about 90 of them or so. I also do programming for our IT department and some web site stuff as well as for our tradeshow dept. I am the answer man for our sales people and programmers, I also have the knowledge to build by own servers and run a network. So that€™s over 200 databases plus all the other *** that I do. Oh and by the way I'm supposed to help out and cover for our Tec support guys, witch there are 2 of them by the way. I can never take any more than 3 days off at a time; I have a month€™s vacation. I do all this for under $55,000 a year. I am never included in any decisions on software that runs on SQL nor am I consulted on any thing having to do with SQL. I work for a director who knows nothing about SQL server. There are 2 JR data guys and they do just data queries and deal with the day to day circ requests. These guys both have an office not to mention the tech guys have an office and guess what I am in a cube. I asked my boss for a laptop with a Verizon air card so when I€™m not at work if something happens that needs my attention I do have to drive to work or go home and remote in, here is the best part he looked at me and asked if I was high. I am on call 24/7 365. I have over 10 years experience working with SQL. I€™m I crazy for staying? I have been with this company for almost 8 years; I am the one who started them out on SQL server. I have converted every thing over to SQL 98.5% of all the company data I am in charge of. What would you do?

Any ideas greatly appreciated
Best regards

Hi all - I receive the error below at the end of one of my DTS packages. All steps in the package actually complete successfully but right at the end I get a Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library pop-up with the following:
Debug Assertion Failed!
Program: c:WINNTsystem32mmc.exe
File: dbgheap.c
Line: 1011
Expression: _CrtIsValidHeapPointer(pUserData)
my options are 'Abort', 'Debug', 'Ignore'.
Periodically when I get this error there is a DrWatson item written to the app log which reads:
The exception generated was c0000005 at address 10217A50 (strlen)
I've dug through the MS KB and can't find an exact match to this problem discussed.
I've completely rewrittent the package from scratch but still get the error. This is the only package that where this happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have 2 problems:
1) When I run this, etch time I keep getting the error saying that constraint isn't found when I try to drop because my creation of the constraint at the end for some reason isn't creating it or being run
2) The first insert doesn't insert anything, although I get no errors
ALTER PROCEDURE Categories_I
3) I also get this when trying to run just the first 2 insert statements together

Hello. I see a lot of threads re this but I havent seem an answer. Please help.
I have Win xp pro SP2 with msde, IIS 5.1 and Web Data Administrator on two separate machines.
With one machine everything works great. On the other, When I hit the Web Data Administrator Login button (windows integrated or SQL) it just shows the hour glass and doesnt do anything.
On the one that works, I can change the server to one on our lan with sqlserver and it will link in fine. However with the other, the same hourglass shows.
IIS and msde are both running and seem to work fine. I can browse to localhost virtual directories (I have dotnetnuke running using msde on localhost) and access the database from dotnetnuke and visual studios.
I have made sure my localhost is a "Trusted site" und ie browser and I have enable windows integrated authentication for the default web site and the webadmin virtual directory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone,
I'm not at all comfortable with SSIS so please forgive me if I overload you all with information here:
I need to create a data table using SSIS which does not delete the previous days data. So far all the data tables we use to write reports in Visual Studio are constructed in SSIS as follows.
1 - Excecute SQL Task - DELETE FROM STOCK
2 - Data Flow Task
3 - Data Reader Source - SELECT * FROM ODBCDATASOURCE
4 - OLE DB Destination (Creates table STOCK)
The data tables which are created this way are stored in a data warehouse and scheduled to refresh once a day, which means that any data from yesterday is lost when the updates run. So, I tried to create a table which never has its previous days' data deleted by using just the last three steps above - and it worked great in Visual Studio, no problem at all. However, when I added this SSIS Package to the Update Job in SQL Server Management Studio, the job totally rejected the packed with the message: "The command line parameters are invalid. The step failed".
I thought I could work around this problem by asking the job step to excecute a simple SQL query to insert the data from table1 into table2 (and would thus negate the need for a SSIS Packege at all), but it threw me a curve ball with some message about not being able to use proxy accounts to run T-SQL Scripts.
If anyone knows how to create a SSIS package in which the data never expires please could you impart some wisdom my way. I only need to do this once for a specific report.
Please, when answering, bear in mind that I'm a simple fellow with little understanding of the inner workings of SQL Server and its various components, so please use short sentences and simple words.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
