Is it possible to import an MS-Access database (or table) into a new SQL Server 2005 Express database? If so, how is it done?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I've just installed SQL Server 2005 Express Advanced and I haven't found a way to import Microsoft Access 2003 files. Is there a way to do it?
Thanks in advance,

I'm new to my company, although not new to SQL 2005 and I found something interesting. I don't have an ERD yet, and so I was asking a co-worker what table some data was in, they told me a table that is NOT in SQL Server 2005's list of tables, views or synonyms.
I thought that was strange, and so I searched over and over again and still I couldn't find it. Then I did a select statement the table that Access thinks exists and SQL Server does not show and to my shock, the select statement pulled in data!
So how did this happen? How can I find the object in SSMS folder listing of tables/views or whatever and what am I overlooking?
Thanks,
Keith
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

i am currently working on designing a database for a bank as a school project for my database class. We have to draw up an entity relationship diagram, Sql tables, database size estimate etc. I am currently working on the security portion of the project. I need to list the groups that have access to my application and use a grid format to show access to specific tables.

We migrated a MS Access 2003 mdb into MS Access 2007. The mdb has linked tables to SQL Server via a DSN and utilizes a mdw file. In 2003, the username/password is "passed" to SQL Server, so the UID/PWD that is used for opening the mdb, is used in SQL Server.
Opening the same file in 2007 using the same mdw, gives a secondary login on SQL Server.
Is there a way to have MS Access 2007 pass the UID/PWD to SQL Server on linked tables, the same way that 2003 does?
Thanks!
Looking for help in diagnosing this error:
Unable to open the physical file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatacartracker.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(error not found)".
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatacartracker.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
I am using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition along with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
Now here's what I did:
Rather than use the Database Explorer within VB2005 EE to create my database, I thought I would try creating my database externally using the downloadable "SQL Server Management Studio Express" tool. (I figured that if I had a stable data model for my database, I could side-step the copying/overwriting issues that come with creating a database as part of a VB solution.)
So having gotten my database setup and populated with some sample data, I am now trying to connect to it from Visual Basic. In VB (in the context of working on a VB Solution), I do the following:
Select Add New Data Source... from the Data menu to bring up the Data Source Configuration Wizard.
Choose "Database" for the data source type and click Next.
Click "New Connection..." to bring up the Add Connection dialogue.
For data source I choose "Microsoft SQL Server Database File", with ".NET Framework Data Provider..." as the data provider.
Navigate to my existing database file (in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" folder).
Use Windows Authentication.
When I click "Test Connection" or just click "OK", i get the Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition error shown at the top of this message.
Is this occuring because I'm trying to access my database as an .MDF file rather than through Named Pipes / Shared Memory / TCP/IP? If this is the case, is there any way that I can tell VB2005 EE to use Named Pipes / Shared Memory / TCP/IP? Is this a fundamental limitation of VB2005 EE?
Thanks in advance to the guru who is able to explain this to me...
I developed a database with Access 2003 and everything was working good until my tech came in and reformated my hard drive and install a new Ghost image that met our company standards.
Now I cannot go in and make any changes to any of the tables, queries and forms. All of this started when a new Ghost image was installed on my pc.
The message I get when I try to open my database is "You do not have permission to run "tblSwitchboard." I get the same error message when I try to do anything at all on the database.
I am at a loss as to what to do. Please help.
Hi all,
I have read/studied (i) Working with Databases in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express in http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/data/vwd.aspx, (ii) Xcopy Deployment (SQL Server Express) in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165716.aspx, (iii) User Instances for Non-Administrators in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143684.aspx, and (iv) Embedding SQL Server Server Express in Applications in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165660.aspx. I do not understand the concepts and procedures to do Xcopy and User Instances for non-administrators completely-I do not know how to connect to databases and create database diagrams or schemas using the Database Explorer. I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC. I have created a ChemDatabase with 3 dbo tables in the SQL Server Management Studio of my SQL Server Express and a website of my VWD Express application with an App_Data folder. I am not able to proceed to use Xcopy and user instance to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase to my App_Data folder. Please help and give me some detailed procedures/instructions to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase (or ChemDatabase itself) from the SQL Server Management Studio Express to the App_Data folder of the website of my VWD Express project?
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

I need to find a program that I can change my MS Access databases into SQL databases. My sites on the server are getting to many visitors and access is crashing the server. So I need to find a fast program that can covert a access database into SQL very quickly. I have not found one out there yet so any direction would help. I tried using the upsizing in access and that does not work on my machine so I would like a stand alone program.
Thanks for the help

i have an older asp web application (not .net) which connects to an access database and reads tables. the .mdb file resides on the web server, along with the asp page. the access db is going away, and the tables have been re-created in SQL express. I need to figure out how to connect and read the tables from either the existing non dot.net asp application, or a new php application.
I have read the post
FAQ: How to connect to SQL Express from "downlevel clients"(Access 2003, VS 2003, VB 6, etc(basically anything that is not using .Net 2.0 or the new SQL Native Client))some more fundamental questions are:
1) can I upload the the SQL express MDF file to the IIS server, and connect to it as a stand-alone file (like i could with the access mdb file)? *** note: SQL express NOT installed on this server, just the standalone mdf file uploaded)
1)a) if yes, what additional code will i need? i am unsuccessful in using the following connection string
set conntemp=server.createobject("adodb.connection")
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=sonnys_inventory.mdf"
conntemp.Open connectionString
1)b) if no - i need to install SQL express on the IIS server. do i then upload the mdf file to the server and "attach" it through the SQL management program and follow directions in the post mentioned above?
thanks for any help.
Still really new at all this, but learning lots thanks to this forum.
I was wondering - is there a way to import Access tables into my SQL Server 2005 ?
(The Data and the Table Design?)
Hi,
We have a SQL server database on remote server. We are using ODBC connection to read and write into the table. But we have another user wants to retrieve(readonly access) our data on his pages. How can we create a user on our database and grant readonly access to that user?
Thanks..
The problem is we need local tables in Access for SubReports (can't use store procedures as record source for this), therefore trying to create temp table and link to Access for each report instance.
When we create the ## type table in tempdb this cannot be linked from Access (cannot be seen via DSN).
The only other option we can find is doing
CREATE TABLE tempdb.dbo.[tablename]
but this requires the user to have admin permissions and therefore be 'dbo' on tempdb and not 'guest'.
Any clues?

I have a procedure that takes database name and queries some tables in the database specified. I am trying to access tables like this:
SELECT COUNT(id) FROM @dbname..sysobjects WHERE type='U'
How can I access the tables while the database name is in a variable.
Thanx.
I have linked a number of tables from a SQL database to a Access front end. I am able to update all but one of the tables (the main table I need!!!). I get the error, cannot update record as it has been changed by another user although there is no other user. I believe it may be to do with the way the recordset is linked to the access database or the referential integrity of the table associations in the SQL database.
I can change the data using query analyser without issue.
Any help would be greatfully apreciated.
I am trying to do a really weird combination of an Append/Union query..I'm doing most of my commands through macros and queries.how to do a normal Append/Union/Create queries but I am trying to do something kind of weird. If table X has rows A, B, C, and D, and table Y has a column with rows 1, 2, 3, and 4... I need the values in table Y to be assigned to each individual row in table X. Is there a way to create a new table where the columns merge such that values can be assigned like:
X Y

B 1
C 1
D 1
A 2
B 2
C 2

I have been tinkering with connections to SQL Server 2000 from Access 2000 for a couple of days without much luck.
My most recent attempt is the following code to the click event of a command button on a form. Most of this code was acquired from other places on the net.
Dim oConn As ADODB.Connection
Set oConn = New ADODB.Connection
oConn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;" & _
"Data Source=Hed001;" & _
"Initial Catalog=My_Views;" & _
"User Id=;vel007" & _
"Password=driver"
Dim oRS As ADODB.Recordset
Set oRS = New ADODB.Recordset
oRS.Open "Select * from VOrder_Header", oConn
Amazingly, it does not error out. But what do I do next to see the records in VOrder_Header?
Just a newb blazing at trail here in the unknown...

I am using SQL2005 (Installed on VISTA). It was running smoothly until today....for some reason I cannot access any tables in queries that I try to run in Management Studio. I can open the tables and see the information, but all queries I try to run result in the following error:
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

I tried to run simple select queries on other tables but I get the same error message. Do not understand, eveything was working fine yesterday.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hello
in my database I have schema "x". I have user "x" who is database owner, The user has schema "x" as default schema and is owner of this schema.
Now there are tables "x.mytable"
If I connect to the db as "x" and try
select * from mytable
I get an error "Invalid object name", I have to write it this way
select * from x.mytable
Why?

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 need experienced advice on Security in SQL Server 2005. All I need specific advice on restrcting users to access SQL Server database to have only READ access for certain tables.
