Unexpected Error From External Database Driver (MS Access Linked Table)
Oct 19, 2006
OS: Windows XP (SP2)
App: MS Access 2003 (SP2)
DB: MS SQL 2000 (SP4, 2040)
User is using MS Access linked table to query database (using ODBC). User can open the query in MS Access. However when the user goes to export the data to MS Excel format, the user receives the error message:
"Unexpected Error from External Database Driver (22)."
A trace on the db, reveals that the user process is attempting to log in to the server as 'Admin'. However, when the query with the linked table is first opened, the user is prompted for username/password (non Windows authentication).
Any ideas? I googled and found some stuff, but nothing directly related and most of what I found was supposedly fixed with SP1.
I have created a .net application using visual studio .net and sql server destop edition on my pc. I have exported the database tables and stored procedures and imported them into a Sql Server database on a web hosting service. The web host does not allow me to access this database directly through visual studio .net.
My connection string to the external database works ok and I can access my stored procedures through my web pages. I know they accept parameters and that I can receive Return Values from them. However, whenever I try to access any of the tables on the external database through a stored procedure, I get a sqlException saying that the table cannot be found (Invalid object name 'UserList').
I have created a text type command which selects data from one of the tables and this runs through without any errors. I have also managed to Insert a row onto one of the external tables also by using a text type command. My only problem seems to be with commands using stored procedures.
Just in case this is the problem - the owner of the table/procedures on my desktop is shown as dbo but on the external database the owner of the tables is shown as [domainname].co.uk_dbuser while the stored procedures owner is still dbo.
Example of stored procedure on external database:
/****** Object: Stored Procedure dbo.AddUser Script Date: 01/03/2005 21:10:06 ******/ CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.AddUser ( @Username Varchar(20), @Password Varchar(20) ) AS ( Select User_ID From UserList Where User_Username = @Username ) GO
Have tried changing dbo.AddUser to [domain].co.uk_dbuser.Adduser but this would not save because there were too many full-stops!
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am completely stuck.
I'm trying to set up a linked table from SQL Server 2005 to MS Access. The .mdb file resides on a network share and I'm unable to connect to it. If i copy the database to a folder on the server that SQL is installed, it works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the error message that I'm receiving.

I have access97 front end , with linked tables to sql server 2005. when i change a table ID column (type int) to primary key so it is updatable, then try open the table i get odbc error with no msg, if i alter table again to remove primary key option table opens fine but is not updateable. any ideas would be a great help
For a long time I've had SQL Server 2000 with RS on a Server2003 machine. When I want to publish a report from my Dev box, I remove anon. access on the Production machine, deploy the report, then go into report manager to tweak a couple of parameters. I then re-enable anon. access so users can continue.
Yesterday, I removed anon. access and deployed the report but when I went into Report Manager I received the above error message... "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive."
I can get into report manager with anonymous access enabled, but I don't have authority to do anything.
What's happened!!!? More importantly, how do I fix it?
I had created a CLR function in my db and was able to execute it successfully a couple of months ago. But when I tried to execute it today it was throwing errors saying there was something wrong with the permissions on the assembly. So I decided to drop everything and recreate it except I can not longer create the assembly with EXTERNAL ACCESS permissions. Whenever I try to create the assembly I get the followng error:
Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
Msg 0, Level 20, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
I also tried to create the assembly with Unsafe permissions and got the same error. Does anyone know why this error would be occurring now? I tried creating the same assembly on a different SQL 2005 server and it creates successfully and can be executed successfully. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
I need to create a SQL server database and add some tables to it. Then access it with a C# application. The problem is that the new SQL server database and it's tables must reside on an external hard drive. How do I point SQL server to this external drive, so that I can create a database on this drive and then create tables and access data on it?
Is there an estimated release date for the JDBC driver version 1.2. Currently this is only a Technology preview which is not to be used in production. My problen is that we can no longer distribute SQL 2000 as part of our ISV agreement after Dec 31st and The current released version JDBC 1.1 has a issue with JBOSS startup which is corrected in 1.2.
The error happens on the last line where I try to open the connection. I've tried also using a dbConn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" line, to no avail. The item that is passed to the Open command is
I'm not familiar enough with DNS and IIS to figure this out. Any suggestions -- other than porting over to SQL and .NET? You don't buy a Ferrari when you only drive in a 30 MPH town.
I want to import data from excel (1.2 million rows in 1 sheet) to SQL Server 2014 database. I am using SQL Server 2014 Import Export Data functionality and getting this error - unexpected unrecoverable error.
3 buttons beside it - abort, retry, ignore - all having the import export to close.
But I could successfully import data from excel file having less rows (150000 rows)
I have set up a link from ACCESS to a SQL 7.0 database using ODBC (File DSN saved on a shared DRIVE). The link works well only from the workstation where the link was created. But How can I create a link so a group of users can view the linked table in ACCESS without type a password? Any suggestion is appreciated.
Hi guys! I am using SQL 2005 and I wonder why I am encountering the error "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Syntax error or access violation" everytime I am trying to create stored procedure with temp table and table variable. See my code below with temp table.
Any thoughts will be appreciated!

Strange one here - I am posting this in both SQL Server and Access forums
Access is telling me it can't append any of the records due to a key violation.
The query:
INSERT INTO dbo_Colors ( NameColorID, Application, Red, Green, Blue ) SELECT Colors_Access.NameColorID, Colors_Access.Application, Colors_Access.Red, Colors_Access.Green, Colors_Access.Blue FROM Colors_Access;
Colors_Access is linked from another MDB and dbo_Colors is linked from SQL Server 2000.
There are no indexes or foreign contraints on the SQL table. I have no relationships on the dbo_ table in my MDB. The query works if I append to another Access table. The datatypes all match between the two tables though the dbo_ tables has two additional fields not refrenced in the query.
I can manually append the records using cut and paste with no problems.
In both VB6 and VB2005 Both are loaded on same computer. When attempting to write to an access database table using ADO I get a runtime error: -2147217887(80040e21) "mutiple-step operation generates errors. Check each status value. " Reading the database is no problem. I only get the errors when writting to database. I have used the following code forever in VB6 and never got this error. Now that I have Visual Studio 2005 loaded on the same machine. I get this error. I get the exact same error when using this code in VB2005. I know VB6 but am just learning 2005. The following code is writting to a database table from various user imputed text and combo boxes. I used basicly the same code in VB2005 and get the same exception error. This code works on machines that do not have VB .net loaded. How do I fix this. My application is useless unless the user can make changes to their data.

Hi All, I am doing some research about External Linked Servers and am hoping that someone can point me towards some best practices information and let me know about any gotchas that I should look out for when using this capability in applications. Thanks in advance,
I've created a linked table to Access. I want to be able to delete records and modify existing records through this linked table. I used the account with sa privelleges yet i am unable to delete/update any records.
Does anyone know if there is any fix or am i doing anything wrong ?
I'm using ODBC to link a SQL table to access and using Access as the frontend, so to speak. Trying to write a query, but I get Timeout Error. I need to resolve the timeout error, I've tried several things in the ODBC configuration, but no solution yet. thx jm
I currently have a database that I can update in Microsoft Access by going into datasheet view of the table and just changing the value of a given field.
Here is the problem. I have made a copy of this database by backing it up and restoring to a new database. Now when I go into Access datasheet view to update, I get the following error: "ODBC--update on a linked table '<tablename>' failed". I have tried restoring to a database on the same server as well as others and have checked for differences set for each database as well as differneces in indexes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have built several Linked Servers from my SQLServer 7 database to some Access 97 MDB files sitting on a Novell file server. When I am physically sitting at the SQLServer I can access/modify data through the links just fine. I have successfully built views, stored procs and jobs referencing these links and they all work perfectly ... As long as I am sitting at the SQLServer. So if I execute 'Select * from RT1...Emp' I get data back.
Now my problem. If I connect to the server from Query Analyser on a different machine I can not execute and anything that references a linked server. If I execute 'Select * from RT1...Emp' I get.
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error [OLE/DB Provider returned message: DIsk or Network error.]
I want to be able access various views and stored procs via a VB app so. Eventually I will be moving all of the Access data into the SQLServer but for now I must access the data via links.
We recently translated the backend db from Access(97) to SQL Server.We are still using Access frontends. I have an update query in theAccess front end that uses a lookup table to populate fields. Thecommon fields between the table and the lookup table are the primarykey (LocID) and date & time fields. The query is:UPDATE tblPT_Offsets INNER JOIN tblPT ON tblPT_Offsets.LocID =tblPT.LocID SET tblPT.Offset_ft = [tblPT_Offsets].[Offset_ft],tblPT.Salinity = [tblPT_Offsets].[Salinity]WHERE (((tblPT.Offset_ft) Is Null) AND ((tblPT.Salinity) Is Null) AND((Format([Date]+[Time],"mm/dd/yy hh:nn")) Between [StartDate] And[EndDate]));This worked fine in Access and seemed to work fine after switching toAccess, but on closer look, there is exactly a 2 day error beingintroduced. A quick search of the newsgroups brings up lots of Accessto SQL date problems, but a 2 day offset seems rather strange? Anyideas??I know the field names Date and Time are inappropriate, but legacyissues are a pain in the butt to resolve!! Could this be a problem?David
Can the DTS execute SQL task recognize a table in an Access database that is linked from another Access database?
I'm attempting to use a DTS Execute SQL task connected to Access1.mdb to make a new table in Access1.mdb that is using a Subquery from a linked table in Access2.mdb . (I know it sounds convoluded..) Its giving me an error in my FROM clause as if it can't recognize the linked table from Access2.mdb.
The reason why I'm doing this is that I'm not sure how to run an Access make table query from DTS that will overwrite the existing table in Access. I get an error that the table already exists.

You can ignore this and it will complete the installation, but subsequently trying to patch with SP2 will fail on the same sections - Hotfix.exe crashes whilst attempting to patch Database Services, Integration Services and Client Components (3 separate crashes).
I've removed SQL Server 2005 elements and tried to re-install, but it's not improved the situation.
I got thrown into a new project that is going to require me to update an SQL server database tables from an Access table on the backend of an Oracle database on another server. At the end of each day the Access dabase will be updated from the Oracle database.
What I need to do, is when the Access database is updated I need to have the table in the SQL database automaticaly updated. When a new record is added to the Access table I need the new record added to the SQL table. When a record is deleted in the Access table I need to keep that record in the SQL table and set a field to a value (such as 0). And when a record is updated in Access, have it updated in SQL.
Needless to say this is a bit out of my area and not sure how to accomplish this.
Hey everyone. I've linke an access database and I am able to query the tables like so:
SELECT * FROM QFinity...tblEmployees
I can do that to all the tables, however, I'd like to create a view to this linked database. Is this possible? I have a more complex query I'd like to run:
SELECT dbo_evaluations.eval_id, dbo_evaluations.quality_date, dbo_eval_questions.status FROM QFinity...dbo_evaluations INNER JOIN dbo_eval_questions ON dbo_evaluations.eval_id = dbo_eval_questions.eval_id;
I get the error "Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid object name 'dbo_evaluations'."
I'm afraid I've reached the limit of my know how concerning sql server 2005... I think I read that I need to create a view? But I can't figure out how to do that.
I have the folowing problem that I could use some help with :
I have an SQL server database acting as a back end to an access dbase. The SQL srv table contains over 32 million records and I am trying to use an append query (in access) to import a further 2 million records to the SQLSRV table. The append query fails with the message 'Insert on table bcdsales failed' followed by an ODBC timeout error message. I can append one record fine but a mass import fails.
Unfortunately i can't use SQL srv to do the import (internal policy says we must stick with access front end for now).
I have an Access 2003 front end that contains a number of linked tables on SQL Server 2005 SE. I recreated the application on a second network for testing and was able to use the Linked Table Manager to refresh the database connections. The problem is when I try and add another linked table. I select Link Tables from the menu and then when I select 'ODBC Databases()' from the 'Files of Type' list box, the Link window closes right away.
I'v finally managed to get a New Linked Server setup on SQL 2005 Express SP2 using the 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers' MSDASQL. I have a Database setup on the SQL 2005 Express Database Engine which contains a query that OPENQUERY's the linked server. The query executes OK.
The problems in when I link an Access 2003 SP2 .adp file to the SQL 2005 Database Engine database. All objects, including the query containing the OPENQUERY (to the linked server) appear. However, when I run the same query within Access I get the following error:
"The OLE DB Provider for Linked Server "name" reported an error." "The Provider reported an unexpected catastropic failure"
So the query works running within SQL 2005 Management Studio, but the same query doesn't work running within an Access 2003 SP2 ADP. I've closed down SQL 2005 Management Studio, but the same error is displayed.
I didn't know if the problem lies in Access 2003 SP2 or SQL 2005 Express SP2.
Any takers?? (I haven't logged this Thread in an Access forum)
Hallo i'm trying to connect a VFP DBC as a linked server on MSSQL2000sp3a, using following parameters:
Product name: VFP
Data source: \networkpath odbc
Provider: VFPOLEDB.1
No security context I'm trying the same operation both from a W2000sp4 server (+ MDAC 2.8sp1 ?) and a WXPPsp2, against two identical copies of the DBC that resides on two different path (one on the final path and one on a test path). From WXPPsp2 everything runs ok, from W2000 i'm always getting this error: Error 7399: OLE/DB Provider 'VFPOLEDB' IUnknown::QueryINterface returned 0x80070005: Access Denied (already reported in this thread, http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1832362&SiteID=1 but it didn't helped me)
The error happens independently from the user the query runs under (basicly AD account, both domain admin and normal user). MSSQL runs under a domain account which have full permissions (for test purpose) on the directories where DBC reside.
I did no further modifications on the WXP machine in order to have the linked server running, simply it ran smoothly from the beginning.
Clearly the difference rely on the different OS... but what else?
i ran component checker to determine the MDAC version but some components version numbers slightly differs from the expected ones (eg. resulting version is 2.0.1064 versus 2.0.1022 expected in MDAC 2.8) so i suppose to have MDAC2.8 sp1 on the server. thanks in advance

I have an MS Access 2002 application that is distributed to a number of PCs around our office. The data for this application is stored on a central SQL Server that is linked in through ODBC.
This application has been in place for two years and working fine. We recently formatted and restored a PC, and now that particular PC has issues with the Access application.
Every time it tries to filter one of the linked SQL tables on a date field, Access goes unresponsive and GPFs out. If it's in a query that is behind a report, I get the old standard 'Catastrophic Failure'. If I open the table and right-click filter or run a query manually, Access GPFs.
I've tried recreating the ODBC, linking the tables through TCP/IP as well as Named Pipes. Nothing fixes it. All Windows and Office updates have been applied. This is not the first time we've reformatted a PC in the office, but we've never had this issue.
