SQL 2000 Linking Tables To Access
Oct 23, 2004
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

Hi,
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?

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.

I am trying to add a linked table to my server, it is an access table.
Here is the code i am using but i get an error:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'AITdb_be2',

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.

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?

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've created a small company database where the tables reside in a SQLServer database. I'm using Access 2000 forms for a front end.I've got a System DSN set-up to SQL Server and am using links withinAccess 2000 to get to the SQL Server tables.My forms worked fine until I made a few minor changes to the databaseschema on SQL Server (e.g. added a foreign key, or added a column).After that, all the links break - I click on a table link and get anerror msg like "invalid object name."Deleting the links after a schema change and re-adding the links seemedto fix the problem. The forms I'd already created seemed to work fineafter re-creating the links.But then I got more advanced with my forms. I have it set up so thatfor certain entry fields, the combobox gets populated with values froma table (the description appears in the drop-down and the correspondingprimary key value gets populated in the table). I created a number offorms using this technique, entered data, and everything worked fine.Made a small schema change and it broke everything -- not the actualtable links, but the functionality for the drop-downs. My values nolonger appeared, and this was true for forms that accessed tables whoseschemas did not change.This is driving me nuts. Is there any way to keep my forms frombreaking each time I make a small schema change?Thanks.- Dana

Anyone has any idea why I havethis problem?
I have a SQL 2K database on a named instance with tables populated with data and they have no relations between them.
I have a MS Access 2000 database.
I have a system ODBC connection on the client computer to the SQL 2K using trusted connection.
I linked the tables into MS Access 2000 to SQL 2K and I can read the data without any problem.
When I try to update the data on the table, I get the message : The recordset is not updatable.
I am the DBO. So I am supposed to have all rights. All the select, update, insert and DRI rights are enabled.
I tried it with another user and it does not work either.
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks

Please help
We have an application written in MS Access. The tables are linked to a SQL 2000 database.
The problem is that sometimes insert a new record in a table freezes and times out after a while without anything has happened.
When installing the application the *mdb file is copied over to the C drive and an ODBC connection is written to the registry.
The application is used by many in the company.
We have problems on tables defined with IDENTITY columns. Can this be our problem and how can we solve it?
Regards Anna-Lena

I am using two almost idential laptops, one with XP and one with Vista, the only differences is that the XP laptop has 1G of RAM and running Office XP and the Vista has 2G RAM and is running Office 2007.
I have a MS Access database that has linked tables to a SQL Server 2000 database. The performance of the Access database on Vista is 5-10 times slower on the Vista machine. Just flipping through records or opening forms can take 5 - 15 seconds on the Vista machine while the XP machine takes 1 sec or less.
What gives? I looked at the CPU performance and the network performance while the Access database was busy flipping through records, the network traffic was < 2% and the CPU would spike to 40% on one of the CPUs (dual core) but would remain under 5% most of the time.
I also previously had Office XP installed on the Vista machine and it had the same performance issue so bought and install Office 2007 on the Vista machine and it did not solve the problem.
It seems that Vista is doing something that is slowing down Access with linked tables. Is this a issue between Vista and using an ODBC connection to SQL Server?
Thanks in advance for any help on this

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.

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.

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

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

Hi I am a complete sql newbie :)
With that being said I am trying for the life of me to link to a table in another sql database.
For some reason its not letting me link the table instead it is creating a query of the table.
I used the Access upsizing wizard and the access front end.
*grumbles - just wish I could find the upgrading handbook that tells you if you used to do it this way now do it this way*
Thanks

I am no stranger to Databases, I worked a lot with MySQL but never really cared about proper DB design as long as it worked. Now I am playing with SQL in a ASP.NET project and want to get things done the right way.Let's say I have a Movies database. My movies can have multiple genres so I set my tables up like this:
[Movies]
MovieID
MovieName
MovieRelease
[code]....
Is this the proper way of doing things? The problem with this is when I want to enter a record manually I have to know the ID of the movie and the ID of the Genres of the movie. And what about naming conventions? By default the identifier is always Id, from my MySQL experience I liked naming it like the table, same goes with other columns. This is my T-SQL code for above tables in VS-2013.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Movies] (
[MovieID] INT IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
[MovieName] VARCHAR (50) NOT NULL,
[MovieRelease] NUMERIC (18) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Movies] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([MovieID] ASC)
[code]....

Hi and thanks for taking the time to read this. I get really confused really quickly when it comes to table linking, and I think I am doing it the hard way. I am going to show my stupidity and ask if there is a better way than what I do, because it takes a LOT of querying and seems like a huge waste.
In reality, I have about 20 tables to join like this, but I'm going to use three for the example:
"Main" Table
AcctNoNameHeightWeight
1Bob13
2Phil21
3Jim15
4Lisa22
"Height" Table
HeightIDHeightName
1Giant
2Tall
3Medium
4Short
"Weight" Table
WeightIDW_Name
1Skinny
2Normal
3Overweight
4Obese
What I have been doing is:
SELECT
Main.AcctNo,
Main.Name,
Height.HeightName,
Weight.WeightName
FROM
Main
INNER JOIN Height ON
Height.HeightID = Main.Height
INNER JOIN Weight ON
Weight.WeightID = Main.Weight
WHERE Main.AcctNo < 3
My question: is doing 20 INNER JOINS really the best way to do this with 20 tables, or is there some other way to link Main.Height to Height.HeightID that is less intensive?
Thanks again for reading, and in advance for any information or insight you can provide.

I have two tables, one for cases and one for inventors. When I query a case linked to the inventor table I get as many rows as there are inventors. Is there a way that I can get just one row for the case and have the inventors lists Doe, John; Doe, Jane; Buck, Jack? I usually export results to Excel and my people want the inventors in one column for certain reports.
I would search for it but I don't know what it's called.
