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?
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?
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.

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.
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)
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?
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
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.
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?
I'm having problems seeing the correct data type when linking my Access tables to MS SQL Server 2005. My varchar(max) fields are showing as text(255). I'm using the SQL Native Client.Has anyone else ssen this issue?

I have a sql server 2005 db. Is there anyway I can link access to be used as a frontend by my client for viewing the data? is this possible through linked table manager?
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.
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
Looks 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?
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.
I have an MS-Access database on a shared drive.The Access database has tables linked to a SQL server database.When I try to query the tables in MS-Access database by accessing the share drive,I get the ODBC--call failed error.So I tried creating an ODBC driver for the SQL Server and when I try to link the tables,no tables are displayed.Can anyone help me out with this problem?
--------------------------------------------------------------- My Original Post I have to query n table(NLRImports) using the Distinct keyword, to retrieve a set of ID numbers. ( "Select DISTINCT id_nbr from NLRImport" ).
Now i want to use those values i retrieved, to process the records in the table(NLRImports) 1 by 1. How do i use those ID no's i retrieved as Variables or parameters for my next query?? If this makes sense? ----------------------------------------------------------------
First, thanks for the response.... now here is what im trying to do. I created a simple application in delphi to import information to a table in MSSql2005. This is some of the resulting columns...
Now there will be several entries with the same id no but on different dates, so i take it dates would rather be my pkey.
Then i need to take one person's entries(i work on id_nbr) and go thru all the entries taking the earliest date and comparing all the other entries for that person to the first date and select all the dates more than 19 days after the first date and less than 91 days from first date and place it in a new table. I used cursor s and while loops to kind of get it going but i know that cursors are not really recommended use but the performance implications dont bother with this particular job.
What other ways should i be using to accomplish this?
I was checking this site: http://www.aspfree.com/c/a/Microsoft-Access/Configuring-a-Linked-Microsoft-Access-Server-on-SQL-2005-Server/
and I do not know what parameters are neeed to do the following two. Configuring a Linked Microsoft Access Server on SQL 2005 Server - Linked Servers on SQL 2005 Server I would also like to know how to do it through this method as well.

Alright so here is what I am trying to do. I have a form that someone fills out it has a text box as title, and a drop down box that is a category, and then a text area that is for their explanation. On the back end I am using a stored procedure called sp_store_bkm. When I execute this it works just fine and puts the data that I put in it into the to table below is the Stored procedure code: ALTER PROCEDURE sp_store_bkm @oID nvarchar OUTPUT, @oTitle nvarchar(50), @oCategory nvarchar(50), @obkmtext nvarchar(MAX) AS BEGIN INSERT INTO tbl_bkms(Title, Category, bkmtext) VALUES(@oTitle, @oCategory, @obkmtext)Set @oID= SCOPE_IDENTITY() END
Now on my front end it comes up with an error in the lower left (erros on page). When I click on the error for details it seems like it is coming fromt he connection string. I cant find anything wrong with the connection string. Below is my code for the aspx page. <%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" Title="Untitled Page" %><asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server"> <script> function Submit2_onclick() { Dim Connection As SqlConnection = "server=localhost;Database=BKM.mdf;integrated security=SSPI;" connection.Open() Try Dim command As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("sp_store_bkm", connection) command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure Dim oID As New SqlParameter("@oID", SqlDbType.Int) oID.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output command.Parameters.Add(oID) command.Parameters.Add("@oTitle", title.text) command.Parameters.Add("@oCategory", category.text) command.Parameters.Add("@obkmtext", bkmtext.text) command.ExecuteNonQuery() Dim sOrderID As String = oID.Value }</script> <form method="post"> <table cellpadding="10" style="width: 100%"> <tr> <td style="width: 100px"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana"> Login ID: <br /> </span> <asp:LoginName ID="LoginName1" runat="server" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="10pt" ForeColor="Red" /> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana"> <br /> <br /> Title:<br /> </span> <input id="title" style="width: 374px" type="text" /><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana"> Category:<br /> </span> <select id="Category" name="D1" size="1" language="javascript" onclick="return Select1_onclick()"> <option selected="selected">Office Applications</option> <option>VPN</option> <option>WLAN</option> </select> <br /> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana"> <br /> Your BKM<br /> </span> <textarea id="bkmtext" style="width: 378px; height: 196px"></textarea><br /> <br /> <input id="Reset1" type="reset" value="reset" /> <input id="Submit2" type="submit" value="submit" language="javascript" onclick="return Submit2_onclick()" /></td> </tr> </table> </form></asp:Content>
I am a student at DePaul University in Chicago, IL. We have a big db project tomorrow and I'm proud with the work I've done so far, I've designed my own db and tested it using queries and such. Pretty good for being introduced to SQL just a couple short months ago. Anyway, I've sort of run into a wall here. I need to have an attribute of a table be computed from others.
I'm working with 2005 Server Management Studio and I have found the computed column specification under the column properties tab. I know that I have to enter a formula, but I'm just not sure on what to do. I have a CHG_HOUR attribute in a table called "EXPERTISE" which signifies how much a consultant charges per hour, based on what he exactly does. I also have a JOB_HOURS attribute in a JOB table (that links my CONTRACT table to CONSULTANT). I want to basically give a formula that multiplies the CHG_HOUR from the EXPERTISE table by the JOB_HOURS in the JOB table. Any suggestions on how I might do this?
Thank you in advance for your response, and hopefully with more practice and courses, I can be the one helping people like me on these boards in a few years.

I have a question about the post SP2 GDR that just came out in the last day or two. My laptop only has the client tools installed, not the server components (except for the SSIS server component). Is there any need for me to install this GDR? Does it impact the Management Studio code which views maintenance plans on remote SQL Servers or anything?
I am developing an application using Visual Web Designer (language VB) with a SQL Server 2000 back end. Within my logic I have a point where I want to say "Run SQL procedure GEDFinish". GEDFinish can take several minutes, and I don't need to wait for it's results - it would be fine if it ran overnight. I can easily check whether GEDFinish has run from the database, in situation where my application logic needs to know if it has already run. Currently I only know how to run a procedure under the direct control of my web program, but with GEDFinish this fails due to timeouts. (This will be worse in the production site). What I really want to do is to have my web program submit "Exec GEDFinish" to the SQL agent, and then forget about it. It would be even better if I could build a script for the SQL agent, for example "EXEC GEDFinish Parameter=7" Help! How do I do this? Thanks, Robert Barnes
Sorry it is my second posting , I am trying to find answer to my problem
Hello everybody. I have problem with mail
I have 3 servers A) SQL2000 sp2 Standard edition 1024 MB memory B) SQL2000 sp2 Standard edition 3072 MB memory C) SQL2000 sp2 Enterprise edition 2048 MB memory
All servers use same mail profile and they all run under same account MYDomainsvcSql2000 for server and agent and connected to same mail server 1. server C run fine 2. servers A and B could stop mail service during the day and the only way to restart it is to open EM and retype password for Sql server account (it will force Server and agent restart)
