Setting Up Datasource To Access SQL Server From Excel 5.0a
Nov 6, 2007
Hi all,
Please advise which kind of connection should be establish from excel 95 to MS SQL Server.
From my thought, I understand that the connection depends on Windows version rather than excel version.
Thus, I just think that there will not be any issue connecting to SQL Server from Excel 5.0a.
Kindly advise if there is any addtional point to concern/consider further.
What could be issue connecting to SQL Server 2005 from Excel 5.0a.
Thank you very much

I am trying to use the code below to set a formview datasource parameter in the page_load section of a user control (ascx file): public void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){ formview_datasource.SelectParameters.Add("@department_id", "e62bbc7d623f44a68e101cba90e839s3");} However I am getting the following error: Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Must declare the variable '@department_id'.
So it would seem that page_load in my user control isn't being called? I'm not sure why or how to work around it. Has anyone else experienced anything like this or can give me some pointers on where I am going wrong?
ThanksBrad

Can someone tell me why the syntax checker is choking on the following code? It doesn't like the SQLDataSource1 reference. Protected Sub cmdSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdSubmit.Click
SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='" + Trim(txtUsername.Text) + "' AND password='" + Trim(txtPassword.Text) + "'"
End Sub
Thanks

Hi,
I am a VB6 programmer and I'm really new to SQL Express, I have always used ACCESS because it was so easy to deploy. I've now written a VB6 program which uses SQL Express and I want to know how to deploy it. Basically my PC will host the SQL database as it has SQL Express loaded onto it. I now want to install my EXE onto other Client's PC and have them read/write to the database on my machine.
Besides the EXE program, what software do I need to load onto the Client's PC so they can access my SQLExpress database...? (eg: Net Framework, SQLExpress, etc).
Also, if my machine is called ABC123, in my connectionstring do I just put in
ABC123sqlexpress as the datasource..?. Will this be enough for the other PCs to connect to mine ?
Thanks

PLEASE HELP ME
I'm a pretty smart guy, but sometimes I end up feeling left behind with all of the terminology I don't recognize.
I am running XP Pro, Access 2003, and SQL Server 2005 express.
I want to set up a ODBC connection in Access to a table that has been created in an SQL Server 2005 Express Database.
I keep getting the message connection failed, SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Can somebody here please help me?

Hi,
This is a very detailed question, I hope this is the best forum to address it. It is more related to general ODBC access, and less to SQL Server data access.
Calling all ODBC experts!
I am a developer using an ODBC toolkit to connect to my companies metadata management product, which in turn communicates to SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 and other databases. The ODBC toolkit we are using is very old, and has been very stable in accessing data with clients such as Access, Excel, Visio and others. It is a read-only ODBC driver that does not support a lot of advanced query and data manipulation features, such as catalog.
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 to debug the ODBC calls that Excel is making when attempting to load data through the External Data Wizard. The Excel version I am using is 2003. The method that I am using to attempt to load data is with 'Data | Import External Data | Import Data'. When that dialog appears, I select 'New Source...' then 'ODBC DSN'. I then select my DSN and click Next.
At this point, I get back the error 'unable to obtain a list of tables from the datasource'.
What is frustrating is, if I do 'Data | New Database Query' and use MSQuery to load the data, everything works fine.
As I mentioned I am using VC2005 and debugging, I believe the problem has to do with the capabilities of our driver and the columns that Excel is binding to return data. In this call, Excel is binding two columns - Table Qualifer (
TABLE_QUALIFIER (1)) and Remarks (TABLE_REMARKS(5)). Our driver does not support qualifiers, so we return a NULL for that value:
case TABLE_QUALIFIER:
fSqlTypeIn = SQL_CHAR;
rgbValueIn = NULL;
cbValueIn = SQL_NULL_DATA;
Excel makes the SQLTables() call, which successfully returns the entire list of tables from our server product. It then attempts to SQLBind the two columns I mentioned above. The first call to SQLFetch returns with SQL_SUCCESS but the ODBCGetData call fills the QUALFIER column with a NULL. So obviously, Excel doesn't like this value and then ends up quiting and displaying the message above (I think....) This is confirmed by looking at the ODBC trace calls:
EXCEL 1500-1b18 ENTER SQLTablesW

SQLINTEGER * 0x00134F0C
SQLWCHAR * 0x00134F1C (NYI)
SQLSMALLINT 512
SQLSMALLINT * 0x00134F04
So I began to examine the GetInfo calls. There are probably 100 or so that Excel makes. Anything related to qualifiers or cataloging seems to indicate (according to MSDN) that we do not support it. So my thinking was, if Excel properly identifies that we don't support qualifers, why does it attempt to bind the column? Is this a flaw in Excel, or are there some other GetInfo properties that I am not properly setting?
The attributes I am setting (that seem related) are:
SQL_QUALIFIER_LOCATION = 0
SQL_QUALIFIER_USAGE = 0
SQL_QUALIFER_TERM = ""
SQL_CATALOG_LOCATION = 0
SQL_CATALOG_NAME = "N"
SQL_CATALOG_TERM=""
SQL_CATALOG_USAGE=0
Looking at ODBC trace logs, the only GetInfo values that Excel is quering is SQL_QUALIFIER_LOCATION, SQL_QUALIFIER_TERM and SQL_QUALIFIER_USAGE. According to the MSDN documentation, an application is supposed to query SQL_CATALOG_NAME to determine if catalogs are supported. I know it is not, because I don't see it in the ODBC trace log, or my breakpoints in VC2005 are never hit.
I realize this is a HUGE question. I hope that I came across clear and that my question is understandable. I guess what it comes down to is - (maybe some Excel engineers can answer this one) - is this method of loading data into Excel require a Table Qualifier? If not, how can I configure my settings so that it asks for Table Name (as MsQuery does) instead?
Thank you so much for your time and consideration!

I am trying to create a MS Access datasource to use it in a IS dataflow. I've done the following things:
1.I've created an ODBC datasource - System DSN, pointing to the Access database.
2.I've created an ODBC connection manager pointing to the ODBS datasource that I created in the previous step.
3.I've created a DataReader Source that uses as its Connection Manager the connection manager that I created in the previous step.
I get the following error message: "Cannot acquire a managed connection from the run-time connection manager." What can I do to solve this error?

I set up an Excel spreadsheet for several users that queries a SQL Server. I provided the spreadsheet to the users and set it to refresh when ever it is open. The query is working fine. The problem is the users are prompted with a SQL Server login screen every time they open the file. The login screen shows the server name, the username and the password. All they have to do is press 'OK' and the screen goes away. Why are they being prompted with this screen? What can I do to eliminate the users from even seeing this window?
I also receive this window whenever I open the file and I created it on the workstation where i'm opening it.
Thank you for any input or suggestions.

Hi,
I have a main report with some sub reports. I put the sub reports in a rectangle and selected insert page break before on the rectangles.
If I run the main report and then select export to excel the sub reports are called Sheet1, sheet2, sheet3
How can I change those sheet names ?
I tried setting the bookmark, label and tooltip but no luck.
If I only export 1 report, the name of the sheet is the name if the report.
So how can I fix this ?

Hi,
I have a matrix table in a report. The cells CanGrow field is set to true. When the report is generated in the browser, the row height grows according to the content in the cells. However, when the same report is exported to an Excel document, the row height is fixed and the content in the cells are partially hidden.
Is there anyway to get Excel report generator to recognize the CanGrow setting?
Thanks.

I have a folder of excel files with different file names and sheet names inside the file. So File A could have Sheet1A and file B could have Sheet2B.
The assumption is that the sheets would have similar data in them for all files even though sheet names are different. I was able to dynamically create the excel connection string using a for loop and choosing the Data Access mode of the excel source to be Table name or View name variable. I have run into a "[DTS.Pipeline] Error: "component "Excel Source" (1)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA".
Was wondering if anybody was able to play in such a scenario and resolve the issue.
By the way a lot of the posts in this blog helped me get this far so thanks for all the posts.

Hello, I am trying to setup a Microsoft Express SQL 2005 server to be accessed by PHP. PHP is setup just fine, the problem lies in the database (or so I believe). Quite simply, the problem is that it won't connect. I need to know if I need to have any special configuration on the database for it to connect. I am fairly positive that I have all of the login information correct, so that is not the problem.

Hi,
I have written a VB program using an SQLExpress database on my machine, and I want other users to remotely access it. From what I have read, all I have to do for the Client machines is load on SQL Native Client and install the EXE. I have also enabled TCI/IP etc and setup the exceptions on my firewall. My connectionstring is
"Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Database=<mydata>;Data Source=<machinename>sqlexpress"
When I run the EXE on the client machine, I get the following error...
Cannot open database <mydata> requested by the login. The login failed.
I am totally new to SQL and would appreciate any help in getting this setup. Do I need to put my login details into the connection string so other PCs can log into my database..?
ACCESS was never this hard to deploy, but I really want to learn SQL.
Thanks in advance
