I would like to know if it is possible to create a form in Access2000,
which would function like a calendar for 8 operating rooms in
hospital, showing which hours are those closed for a specific date.
For this intersection I would like to be appeared the name of the
doctor, the name of the patient and the kind of operation.
Furthemore I would like this intersection to be marked in the calendar
with a colour, showing that this room is closed for that time.
The data for this form are going to be extracted from a table stored
in SQL Server 2000.
Generally the whole application is stored in SQL Server( stored
procedures, tables, diagrams etc.)
1)How this can be done? Is this going to be through VB or not? Can I
make a template in Excel spreadsheet put it in a form
and apply code on it?
I would like also to make forms(in Access) for user-entry data that
will use stored procedures of SQL Server with pushing the OK button.
The stored procedures would take as arguments the user-entry data from
the
forms.
I thought to make a pass-through query which would use a VB function
and would take as arguments the user's values
and after would pass these values in the stored procedures.
2)Can this be done through the pass-through query, that is Sql
Server "understands" VB or better Access pass-through query process
the VB commands before be connected with the Sql Server?
What do you think of this as an idea?
My problem is that I really don't know how to combine VB code with
Transact Sql code.
Can you give an example or any ideas where I can find the relative
information?
Hello allWould it be possible to migrate the MS Access 2000 to MS SQL Server2000?My application is using MS Access 2000 as database and as userinterface such as forms. Now, I want to migrate the backend databasefrom MS Access 2000 to MS SQL Server 2000. However, I want to keep theMS Access 2000 interface. Would it be possible?If I migrate the MS Access to SQL Server, would the queries, back-endVBA, macro, tables and forms be affected? Do I need to change the MSAccess data type to SQL server supported data type?Which tool I can use to do the migration? Upsizing wizard or exportingthe Access database and then importing it to the SQL server?Thanks in advanceCheersBon
I am getting "writing conflict" or "Update or Cancel Update Without AddNew or Edit" errors even though there is nobody else updating the same record. I use Access Form as interface, the DBMS is MS SQL Server 2000 Standart Edition. I did not write any code for the form and its AllowEdits property is set to Yes.
Can anybody tell me what is the problem and how I can fix it?
Hello, does anyone hate the new interface where you manage the Table Relationships, Indexes, and etc?
I hate it a lot for these reasons. 1) Dialog window cannot be resized (really really annoying) 2) The Table-Relationship configuration dialog window is not as convenient to use as SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager.
I hope this is the correct place to provide feedback and I hope this will get modified a bit in the next service pack (or) update....
I downloaded SQL Server Express 5.0 and would like to know - must I open SQLServer through a studio like SQL Server Management Studio Express, or can it open on its own? Does it come with a GUI inside it?
I clicked Start/All Programs/Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and only submenues were displayed, not the server itself. The submenues were
Configuration Tools SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Hello everybody, please advice: what is the fastest standard method of user interface access to SQL database? I am looking for fast display of one master record plus related dependent records, plus fast scrolling through master records with display of dependent records as fast as posible. Perhaps a standard problem with standard solution? At current state of matters, I am still much slower then with my old Access97 database.
Using SQL Server Reporting Services, we're designing an executive reporting interface for a handful of high-level managers who need no more that a dozen reports.
What's the best user interface for them where they would choose the report they need?
- The SSRS Report Manager web page? - A SharePoint page (integrated with SSRS)? - A report menu within an existing application? - Anything else?
I have a SSIS package which takes excel spreadsheets (exported from MS Project) and imports them into tables in my database. I have each step of my control flow set up with "On Success" so it only continues if the previous step was successful.
My next step is to create a asp.net page and/or web part so that I can have my user click a button to launch this SSIS and import this data. I have seen articles on how this could be done via code - so I assume it can be done. But what I cannot find is how alert the user if an error has occured in the execution of the SSIS.
How can you alert a user that a package you executed though vb.net in the front end errored?
Could I build something in to the OnError handler that returns the error and have that error returned to the front end App??
Any insight/examples for this would be much appreciated.
Hello all, here is my question, I have an Access 97 database linked to a SQL Server 7 db. All primary keys/relationships/ec have been created in the SQl database and I can update forms fine from the table view. When I try to use the Access forms to update data, I cannot update anything. I believe that a possibility for this may be that the Autonumbering feature of the primary key is held in SQL where before it was held in Access so the form cannot update without a number already apparent to the form but I am probably way off. I tried creating a whole new form completely based on the linked tables instead of using the old Access forms but I recieved the same results. Anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a replacement for Access Forms once I move the tables etc to SQL 2005? Does SQL 2005 have any form building functionality like Access?
I would like to know if there is a way to find out who changed a users roles/access WITHOUT using the audit function. For example, if a user account was created and given SA access then changed to read only, how can I find out who made that change? I tried searching for an answer, but kept getting no results. I'm thinking this may tie into the sys.sysusers view?
I am a bigginer. I need to save input from textBox (User interface that I have made using VWD) to a database in SQLSEE 2005 using C#. please help me.

I execute a pretty big sql query which joins multiple tables and I reviewed indexes on all these tables. I am happy with the result when I run the query using SSMS in the server locally i.e., where my SQL Server database is installed. It takes 4 seconds to get around 17000 records. If I run the same query in a network or from my desktop using SSMS i.e., i connect to the above mentioned SQL Server using SSMS, it takes more than 60 seconds. Not sure how to solve this. If someone could help me, it will be of great help.
regular access db - usually use sub-forms or tabs - this time I want seperate forms - have linked fields - but can't final code line in "open form" button command. Any suggestions welcome. Denny :(
passing variables (values) from a form (MS Access Project) to a stored procedures in order to select records shouldn't be all that difficult. However after searching for hours and hours in various forums and discussions i'm still nowhere. I really hope someone can give me the missing hint.
OK All I whant to do is select data from the sql server via an access interface. the value entered into the access form by the user (for example the client name) should then be transferred to the stored procedure which will then return all the records of the chosen client.
The simple task of transferring this form value to the stored procedure is driving me crazy. Does anyone have an idea.
I try to add data to SQL via Access Forms. When I add a data and open tables in Access which are connected to SQL, I can see my new datas. But if I open tables in SQL Server Management Studio I can not see any of those new datas. What should I do to solve this problem. I will be very happy if you can help me about this matter. Thanks in advance...
I've been developing desktop client-server and web apps and have used Access and SQL Server Standard most of the time. I'm looking into using SQL CE, and had a few questions that I can't seem to get a clear picture on:
- The documentation for CE says that it supports 256 simultaneous connections and offers the Isolation levels, Transactions, Locking, etc with a 4GB DB. But most people say that CE is strictly a single-user DB and should not be used as a DB Server. Could CE be extended for use as a multi-user DB Server by creating a custom server such as a .NET Remoting Server hosted through a Windows Service (or any other custom host) on a machine whereby the CE DB would run in-process with this server on the machine which would then be accessed by multiple users from multiple machines?? Clients PCs -> Server PC hosting Remoting Service -> ADO.NET -> SQL CE
- and further more can we use Enterprise Services (Serviced Components) to connect to SQL CE and further extend this model to offer a pure high-quality DB Server? Clients PCs -> Server PC hosting Remoting Service -> Enterprise Services -> ADO.NET -> SQL CE
Seems quite doable to me, but I may be wrong..please let me know either ways
I'm developing an custom dataflow transformation task that involves mapping of columns between multiple inputs and outputs. All the mappings are stored in a dataset. At first I thought to store this to an variable but after reloading bids I get an schema not found on xml for the stored dataset. Then I tried to put the dataset into an custom property but that seems to only take strings.
So how do I save the info on the mappings contained in my dataset (as that is most easy while using a datagrid to display mappings) in the package preferably in a way that is not visible to the user.
In short: What is the proper way to save complex datatypes in a custom dataflow task using a custom ui?
I upsized an Access 2003 database to SQL Server Express Edition 2005, and have converted all tables, queries, reports and macros successfully so far. The snag I'm running into involves using macros embedded in buttons on certain forms using Access as the frontend.
With these forms, the idea is to navigate to a certain record, and hit a button to bring up a print preview view of a report. Based on the record you're looking at in the form, it should check against the data in the table to which it refers, and pull up a single record in the report.
In access as a standalone, using the OpenReport command, the code was as follows:
[MRB Report Data]![MRB Report Number]=[Forms]![MRB Data Input]![MRB Report Number]
MRB Report Data is the table containing data, and MRB Report Number is the primary key (autonumber). MRB Data Input is the form in question, and the second MRB Report Number is the control field that references back to the MRB Data Input table.
When I try to run this using Access as a frontend, an error occurs at the first '!' - is there a different syntax I need to specify to reference a form in this case?
Autogrow of file 'FORMS' in database 'FORMS' cancelled or timed out after 30547 ms. Use ALTER DATABASE to set a smaller FILEGROWTH or to set a new size.
FORMS.LDF file is 7613952 KBand the growth is 512MB .
By how much should I set the filegrowth? The users are complaining that the application is freezing on them.
I know from searching this forum that there have been many variations of the issue I'm currently suffering, but I haven't found anything quite like mine or a solution to solve it. The issue I'm running into is that I am unable to log on to Reporting Services using Management Studio or the web interface when Windows Integrated Security is enabled. I have full functionality using basic security, but the risks involved make it impossible to deploy basic authentication out into production. The error I'm receiving in Management Studio is The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient). I recieve the same error when I try the web interface.
I've looked the most recent logfile in WindowsSystem32LogFilesW3SVC1 and these entries match up to the time I attempted my authentication.

I tried to highlight one of each of the HTTP errors I am getting. 401.2 and 401.1 are the ones I kind of expected, but have no idea why I'm getting them. The 500 0 error is a bit troubling, because unless I'm mistaken thats a server side error.
Here's my current setup. As far as I can tell, I've done everything to set up correctly for Windows Integerated security.
My Specs The server machine running all SQL 2005 services. It resides in a domain. All Clients are in the same domain.

I am converting an Access 2003 database into SQL 2005 Express for purposes of evaluating the SQL server environment as a future home for my data. One of the motivating factors in the conversion is the integration of LINQ with VB 2008.
Assuming that there was no conversion tool to migrate Access forms for use with SQL and VB 2008, I converted the Access data table and used the VB 2008 form designer to databind textbox controls to fields in the converted SQL database. Here are some basic questions:
The conversion from Access to SQL apparently did not include the default numeric formatting (currency, percentage, etc.) which was part of the Access data table. Is there a place in the SQL server environment to supply a default data format so that forms and reports referencing the field do not need to be manually formatted for each reference?
After converting the data table and spending 2 hours designing the dataform for the 80+ fields, I inadvertantly changed the table structure and found that the dataform was not happy (oops). I corrected the databindings manually for the few errant field references, but wonder if there is some wizard to do this automatically?
Is there a way to print out the dataform itself? I used the following code snippet in my Access form code-behind and I wonder if there is an equivalent VB 2008 function:
Finally, Access can instantly change from dataform to datasheet presentation screens. Can this be done in VB 2008 with two views simultaneously presenting the same SQL data?
Please excuse my naivete, but in contrast to Access 2003 where program functionality is encapsulated into readily apparent controls, menus, and dialogs, the SQL server environment seems foreign, spartan, and all the words are different. Thanks, -BGood

We have an ASP.net application that currently sits on a server that runs IIS and sql server. We are spliting IIS and SQL server into 2 seperate machines. I believe I have the connection string okay as I can see the entries in the security log on the sql server machine however it keeps saying aspnet user invalid user or invalid password. What gives with this. We put .net on the sql server however this just added the aspnet user to the machine. Do I need to create an aspnet user inside the sql server and give it control of the dbases as well? I am running this using the personal web server not IIS on a server. I have a project on my desktop and am using the "local" IIS or personal web server that comes with visual studio out of the box. What kills me is that when I put the project on a real IIS server that has sql server on the same machine I have no issues. However when I split the dbase and the IIS apart onto 2 servers I get this aspnet invalid user or invalid password. HELP
I'm currently looking at a multi-user app that has an Access 97 frontend and an SQL2K backend. Proposed changes to the system mean that the user concurrency count is likely to increase dramatically, and I'm wanting to know if there are any limits to the concurrency for this architecture.
I tried using my administrator account to add SQLServer as an ODBC Connection, but for some reason when it tries authenticating it fails and the reason is that the user is not trusted to use that connection. Yet on my account i've created on my domain works perfectly.
I've added a new user in SQL Enterprise manager, but i still get that error.
How do I set the user to be trusted to use the connection?
I have deployed some reports on the reporting server, i have noticed that every one in the domain in which the reports are published can access the reports, except one user. when he tries to access the report he got the following error message or the blank report.
"An error occured during report processing"
"can no read the next data row for the data set dataset1".
Although this user has all the roles on the reporiting server kike browser,content manager etc.
Can someone provide me some hints or useful links on user access throguh a report server? Here is the situation:
MachineA: (My Machine) running Windows XP professional with full SQL Server 2005 installed
MachineB: running Windows 2003 Server with full SQL Server 2005 installed
MachineC: a user machine running Windows XP professional .
All the machines are connected within the same LAN.
I created a report - on MachineA with a data source called 'DataSource1' that points to an analysis database located in MachineB. I deployed the report to the reporting service on MachineA. I have no problem to view the report on my web browser on MachineA through http://localhost/reportserver. Now I let a user to view the report on on MachineC through http://MachineA/reportserver. She can see my report. However, when she clicks the report, she got the following error: An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Cannot create a connection to data source 'DataSource1'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection) For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
I tried many ways to fix the problem, and got no solution. She sees my report so she can access my report server. She has enough access right to the analysis database and cubes and dimensions. She can use her Management Studio to connect to it and browse the cube. She just can not open 'DataSource1'. I would really appreciate if someone can share some knowledge or recommend me some useful resources that explains the access/security control via Web Service -> Report Server -> Analysis Cubes. There are so many places to configure the access/security: IIS, Report Manager (Roles), the OLTP server that hosts Report Server databases (ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB), and the Analysis database (also called roles). I really get confused: how do they work together?
This is my problem: I do not know how to get the servername from a C# user defined function . Is this possible?
I am writing a User Defined Function (UDF). Inside of this user defined function I need the name of the databaseserver that it is running on. Does anyone have an idea how I might do this? Is there an enviromental variable that I could access within the C# code I use to write the UDF?
I could always use a parameter to pass in the name of the server, but I would like to have as few parameters as possible.
