Unable To Open DTS Packages Anymore
Nov 10, 2006
Hi,
I installed the dts designer component for 2005 so I could migrate over some 2000 packages and was able to successfully open and run dts packages under 2005.
Then all of a sudden I get this error msg and can't open them, migrate them, export them, etc:
"here were errors loading the package "MyPackageName":
[DNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Invalid Instance()).] Invalid connection.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.DtsObjectExporerUI)"
That is not a typo, it actually says "here were errors..." instead of "There were errors..."
I've tried the obvious, repair the dts designer component and rebooting, no luck.
Anybody seen this?
Hope this is the right group to post to...
Thx

Hi,
I created DTS packages in SQL 2k and I want to access them (modify) in SQL 2k5.
But I could not open those in SQL 2k5. Is there any way to open them in SQL 2k5
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm unsure what happened, but I'm using SQL Server 05 Developer Edition. I've been working with a local database where I tried to add a clustered index on a huge table (about 50M records). Well, I had to stop the query since it was maxing out my work computer. Since then, I've been unable to open the database or run queries against it.
When I open SQL Server Management Studio the database says In Recovery. Once it's done, when I try to expand tables, I eventually get this error:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------

I'm unsure where to go from this point forward.

I am in the process of migrating DTS 2000 packages via DTS Migration Wizard.
I ran all of the packages through the wizard. Then, I successfully completed changing the remaining issues in two of my packages to SSIS. Everything was fine. The second package I completed is called from a SQL Agent Job. I managed to get the job step converted to use SSIS package. It ran successfully.
Now, I am trying to open other packages to work on them and I get "Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document: Value does not fall within the expected range." and a message window that says "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." This actually happens with the two that I migrated, also. I can no longer access them.
What happened?!?!?!? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Does anyone know why this happens? When I run one of the packages in my project (by hitting the play button in the designer), all of the other packages in that project open before it starts running?
Thank you.

Hi
For some reason and quite suddenly DTS packages fail to run via a job. I can run the packages manually though.
I get the error :
DTSRun: Cannot create COM Server to load and execute DTS Package. Error -2147221008 (800401F0): CoInitialize has not been called.
I cant find any reason why this would happen, as I cant find any thing that has changed

Hi all. I'm currently working with SQL Server 2K, and I've installed Analysis Services as well as SP4.
I previously wrote a DTS that had several FTP steps in it. I was able to view/edit/run this package until recently. We were testing out SQL Server '05, and when we uninstalled it, it really screwed up my install of SQL 2k.
Long story short, I've scrubbed the system and reinstalled SQL Server 2K, but am unable to open the DTS package. The error I get is:
Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Service (DTS) Package
Error Description: Unspecified Error
Then a prompt that says:
The selected package cannot be opened. The DTS Designer has been closed
I've googled like crazy, and have been unable to find any resolution on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i have installed Microsoft SQL server 2000(evaluated version). I opened enterprise manager.and opened one of the default database.(Northwind).I clikced on the tables in the Northwind. On the right side of the console I right-clicked on one of the table and tried to open table--> Return all rows.. I am getting a message saying that "Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed".
I tried to reinstall the sql server evaluated version. I installed it 3 to 4 times restarting my computer. But still its giving me the same problem.
I am using Windows Xp OS. Do I need to take care of anything before installation. I even removed Office XP from my system thinking if that has anything to do with the installation. Please let me know as soon as possible.
One last question, is this a very rare problem or is the problem only with me. Because I couldnt find a solution as nobody is giving me a reply.

Hi, i'm trying to interface a c# application with an sql database created with Visual Web Developer Express.
I have published the site (and the db) on iis 5 (xp pro).
Everithing goes fine on accessing the database from internet,but when i try to connect the db while it's opened with my c# program i keep an error in the sqlconnection open command:
Unable to open the physical file "C:myApp_Datamydb.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The file is in use by another process.)".
My connection string from webconfig:
<add name="MYDBCS" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Database="C:myApp_Datamydb.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
.....and the connection string for the c# program:
"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Database=c:myapp_datamydb.mdf;Integrated Security=False;Connect Timeout=30;User ID=abc;Password=abc;Trusted_Connection=False;";
I have used a user to connect the database because there was a conflict trying to open the db with Integrated Security=True.
Does anyone have an idea where is the error?
Many thanks

Using SQL Server 2005 Express SP2.
Scenario : I have VC++ 2005 Express IDE open and use the database explorer to browse tables in a database. Then I open SQL Server Managament Studio Express and try to browse the same database. I get "Unable to open the physical file ... The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".
What is this "other process" that is trying to open the file? I thought the whole point of a database server was that clients talk to the server, and the server accesses the physical file. So only one process should be accessing the file. Do VC++ IDE and SSMSE work directly with the physical file, or do they channel their requests, etc. through the server.
Or is it something completly different?
Thanks,
Russel Dirks

I'm sure there is a simple answer to this but it eludes me at the moment.
I€™m using the Developer Edition of SQL Server 2005.
The MSDB node under Integration Services->Stored Packages refuses to open.
It always fails with a login timeout message and that the connection was
actively refused.
I€™ve run the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tool and allowed remote
and local access, even though it€™s all installed on the local machine. This
didn€™t help.
The next thing I did was to turn off all my firewalls and internet access
control software and it€™s still not working.
I€™m using integrated authentication and the user is part of the
administrators group,
any ideas how I can try and rectify this?
Thanks

Hi, I've just finished creating my first ASP.NET website. I created it on my laptop and it works perfectly, but I'm having some problems deploying it to my web server (PC).The site works ok, but when I try to log in to my client area, I get this error:
"Unable to open the physical file "c:inetpubwwwrootONeillStrataApp_Dataaspnetdb.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file c:inetpubwwwrootONeillStrataApp_Dataaspnetdb.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I've searched far and wide for a solution and have read many articles, but none seem to be able to fix my problem. I've tried using that SEUtil tool, but that didn't work, I've made sure the App_Data directory on the web server isn't read only (the read-only checkbox isn't ticked, but it DOES have that little green square which I can't get rid of), I've assigned the ASPNET user as a db owner and that didn't work and I've manually attached the database to the web server's instance of SQL Express 2005.When I launch the solution in VS2005 on the web server, I can browse through the database and see the tables and data etc, but when I try to run the application, I get that message above...
Surely it shouldn't be this hard to get it going?Any help would be massively appreciated.

Hello,
I have a SQL Express database in a C# project, which I use for unit tests. However, I am getting the "unable to open SQL Express database", access is denied. I used to be able to do use it fine.
I also used to attach it to the SQL Server engine, but now I'm getting access denied there as well. I ensured that it isn't currently attached... at least, I cannot see it, but maybe its still attached somehow?
I don't know what the problem is... running out of ideas.
Thanks.

After having installed my software at customer's I found out that it's impossible to open tables from Enteprise Manager (Query Designer error). I'm not sure it's because of my soft, but my clients are quite annoyed.
I have had this situation on my own server , and the only thing I could do was to reinstall the server.
Any other ideas? And what is the origin for this error?
Thanks in advance,

I am having trouble with BCP. I get the same error with xp_cmdshell as I do with entering bcp as a DOS command. I have checked and rechecked the file names and permissions and even restart the PC.
Does BCP even work when SQL Server 2005 Express on a PC?

Could the fact that it's actually pulling BCP from c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80Toolsinn be a problem? I know this because it doesn't recognize the -x extensionof the bcp command.

I added the c: est to the path and removed c:Program FilesMicrosoft

I can't use the words "stored pro.." in file names, folder names, or internet searches. I also can't click on links with those words in them. (hence my above abbreviations) The application will close down. I'm putting hyphens between the letters in the hopes that if anyone answers this I will still be able to open it.
i.e., I have a folder on my harddrive called "stored pro---cedures" - I can't open it via any windows applications. I named a word document "stored pro----cedure" and it closed the second I typed it in. I can use "stored pro", but not the other, even if i put or remove spaces between the letters. Even if I type other letters at the beginning and the end, the application will close.
I tried to do a Google search on "windows update" and "stored pro..." but the explorer window closed.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Well, I'm to the point of giving up. If there was a 1-800 # that charged $400 /minute for support at this point I would pay it! I have been developing an ASP.net 2.0 web application that basically has login security. I have been struggling to get this thing to work. On my local machine it works fine, but when I copy the code (including the ASPNETDB.mdf that is in the APP_Data directory) over to a web server, I get to the login screen but when I attempt to login I get an error. I've tried using the SSEUTIL.exe and was unsuccessful. At this point I don't even know where to start. Can someone please help me??? The error is listed below:

I have a SQL Server 2005 database file (a .mdf file) that I am trying to open in SQL Server Management Studio so I can add a field to a table, but I am unable to open the file. I can't say that I really understand how SQL Server handles these databases. I especially don't understand the "attaching" and "detaching" operations.
I am working in VB.Net 2008 now, but my background is with VB6 using the JET engine. It was just so straightforward using the JET engine, but seems so much more complicated with SQL Server. I am trying to use .mdf files the same way I used .mdb files. I want my application to find the database file, "attach to it", and let me manipulate it.
At one time I was able to open my database in Sql Server Management Studio and edit the design of the database. The application still works but I am no longer able to modify the database because I cannot attach to it in Management Studio.
Here is a big clue: the files are no longer in the special folder anymore, which is c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATA. I might have deleted the files, stupidly, thinking they were redundant. I still have the .mdf file (and the _log.ldf file) on my hard drive and the application can still open it, but when I try to use Management Studio to attach to the .mdf file, I get this error:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
An error occurred when attaching the database(s). Click the hyperlink in the Message column for details.
here are the details:
Unable to open the physical file "c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATAHEALSExamsSQL.mdf". Operating system error 2: "2(The system cannot find the file specified.)". (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Indeed the file is not there, but why is Mgmt Studio looking there? Why doesn't it just open the file where it is? What can I do to get it back? I even copied the files to c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATA? I get the same error.
Here is another clue: In Management Studio, when I right-click Databases, and chose Attach, it brings up a dialog. There I click "Add" to get another dialog in which I will select a database, but before the dialog appears I get this error:
Locate Database Files - KURANT-WIN7SQLEXPRESS

If you know that the service account can access a specific file, type in the full path for the file in the File Name control in the Locate dialog box.

Hi.. !!
I am working in a C# database application quick test where I basically use two types of access to an SQL Server Express database.
In the first part of the code, I use the traditional connection declaring a SqlConnection. When I just use only this kind of connection I do not have any problem. The issue starts when I access to the same database using Data Bindigs at the same time. When I start the application I got and error as soon as the instruction goes to open the data base connection.
The reported error is "Unable to open the physical file "<Niños.mdf>". Operating System Error 32: (Process does not have access to the file because is being using by another process)"
For additional information my connection string is:
"Data Source = localhost\SQLExpress; Initial Catalog = Niños; Integrated Security = True; User Instance = false"
Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this problem?
Thanks
Alfredo.
