Found out the hard way.
Data does not get upsized from Access 2000 to Sql express 05.
Just an FYI for anyone out there who might need to upsize Access 2000 Dbs.
Problem:Upsize a backend MSAccess 2002 Database to SQL Express 2005Explored:Tried using the upsizing wizard from Office XP(2002), Two tables always get skipped.***! The two tables skipped data only, the tablename and data structure were created.Tried to install UPSize Pro, installation failed.I decide to try it in VWD 2005, here is my code so far but it keeps erroring out.
Dim cn As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionDim cmd As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapterDim ds As New System.Data.DataSet()cn = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source='C:Documents and SettingsBillMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005WebSitesWebSite1App_DataData for Database.mdb';Persist Security Info=True")cmd = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("select * from Service_Orders", cn)cn.Open()cmd.Fill(ds)cn.Close()

Hi,
I doing Coldfusion web development using MS Access, but the final product needs to use SQL Server. Is there a way for me to upsize from MS Access to SQL Server without having to purchase/install SQL Server?
Thanks.
Hi,i'm working on a project for convert from a mdb AccessXP(2002)application backend to SQL Server Express 2005.In the past i convertend a similar backend to SQL Server 2000.My problem is: I have many fields on mdb backend with spaces in fieldname (i know bad thing)With SQL Server 2000 I had no problem because it recognize the fieldcorrectly with syntax [field name]but now with SQL Server Express 2005 i'm experiencing problems....infact it wants to write the field in this way 'field name'.Now...what do u suggest me?Go back to SQL Server 2000 or change all the field names? this isbecause with the character ' apex i have many problem in SQL syntax.Thank u in advanceByeRob

I have a general theory question for best practices about upsizing an msaccess 2003 split database design to use SQL server instead of the .mdb for data storage.
My data has grown close to msaccess limit, and ive started experiencing lost connections and corruptions frequently. So the next step is to upsize to SQL.
So far DTS seems to do a better job with bringing in the tables and data (then the upsizewizard).
Does any one have a suggestion on how to deal with the front end connecting the sql backend ?
i understand an ADP project file uses OLE connection, is that a better solution then linked tables directly into SQL threw ODBC ?
Reason i ask is the linked tables seem to not break as many things inside the code.
thanks for any suggestions,
jon
Hi,Simple question: A customer has an application using Access 2000frontend and SQL Server 2000 backend. Data connection is over ODBC.There are almost 250 concurrent users and is growing. Have theysqueezed everything out of Access? Should the move to a VB.Net frontendtaken place ages ago?CheersMike

I recently had to reinstall a new instance of SQLServer 2000, but was unable to use the previous server name. As a result, my Access2000 front end is not happy with it's linked tables. I can't seem to find anyplace within Access to universally change the address of the SQLServer used as the back-end for all linked tables.
When I do try to access the linked tables through Access, I get an error, and the option to change the server location. When I try to type-in the new SQLServer location, there is an attempt to reconnect to SQLServer, but a whole lot of errors are generated, and none of the data is transferred into the Access table.
I really don't want to have to re-do my Access front end, so it seems it would be easiest to somehow reinstall SQLServer to have the same server location it used to. Is there a good way to completely erase all traces of SQLServer so that I can have better luck reinstalling it to the same location it used to be in? Just using the uninstall program from SQLServer doesn't seem to be cutting it.
Thanks!
I've created a small company database where the tables reside in a SQLServer database. I'm using Access 2000 forms for a front end.I've got a System DSN set-up to SQL Server and am using links withinAccess 2000 to get to the SQL Server tables.My forms worked fine until I made a few minor changes to the databaseschema on SQL Server (e.g. added a foreign key, or added a column).After that, all the links break - I click on a table link and get anerror msg like "invalid object name."Deleting the links after a schema change and re-adding the links seemedto fix the problem. The forms I'd already created seemed to work fineafter re-creating the links.But then I got more advanced with my forms. I have it set up so thatfor certain entry fields, the combobox gets populated with values froma table (the description appears in the drop-down and the correspondingprimary key value gets populated in the table). I created a number offorms using this technique, entered data, and everything worked fine.Made a small schema change and it broke everything -- not the actualtable links, but the functionality for the drop-downs. My values nolonger appeared, and this was true for forms that accessed tables whoseschemas did not change.This is driving me nuts. Is there any way to keep my forms frombreaking each time I make a small schema change?Thanks.- Dana
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe are using an Access 2000 project to view our SQL Tables and using Access 2000 Runtime to Access the forms in the project. We have written in a locking system in VB and removed the video controls to prevent users from accessing the same records. But of course now we need to make the video controls available. This has now thrown up the problem of multiple users accessing the same records. We have tried to write code to lock records when then video controls are used but this is not working as well as we hoped. Can anyone please suggest any way of setting up locking on SQL using triggers from the Access frontend? or any other types of locking systems that could be written in the Access front end.

I worked on a project in ASP.NET using SQL server 2000 as the back end. Its a conversion application that I rewrote in ASP.NET using C#. I need to import the old data in Access db into SQL server 2000 and I have very little knowledge about doing it. The data in not a direct one -one transformation. There are considerable changes to the Database design and data types. Any help and suggestions wud be really helpful. Also, any article links wud be great.
Thanks
We have a SQL Server 7.0 system in NT 4.0 environment. We upgraded our users to Access 2000 and started to work with this. Now we installed a new
server which is Windows 2000 based and the domain is different from
the SQL servers domain. We then installed Access 2000 on Windows 2000
to use with terminal server. But I noticed that there was a problem
with the program. I then looked at the program which was written on Access 2000 and saw that the tables and views can't be seen. The program runs but
I can't see the views and tables. Another thing is access disconects from SQL Server when I want to see the tables. So what can be the problem.
In one part there is an Access 2000 on Windows 2000 server. On the other part SQL Server 7.0 on Windows NT 4.0. And Access can't see the tables in SQL server.
When I try to make a connection to an Access .mdb I get the following error:
"Unable to open application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user"
Yet, I am able to open the file through Access and have necessary permissions and I know no one else has it opened. The mdb is password protected and I have provided the correct login information in the DTS connection.
How can I configure a front end Access 2000 Database using Microsoft SQL 2000 as a back end environment? Could anybody help me by telling me what are the steps under SQL? Thanks everyone in advance.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am converting a MS Access 2000 project to use SQL Server. This project has uncovered a number of problems, my latest seems to be very odd.
When I query using ADO against the SQL Server database, the results don't seemed to be returned immediately. It's like the access methods being used are waiting too long to write/read the data.
This could be a simple ADO configuration error, but I cannot find any settings that would make this behave so strange.
I'm using OLE/DB drivers with trusted security and attaching using client-side recordsets (I tried server-side as well, same results) to get data for the Access form. In many instances, the data from the form is not yet retrieved when I check the results using the debugger. If I execute the same section of code just seconds later, it works without fail.
I ran the SQL Server Profiler just for grins and found that records were not getting written to the database as I would have expected. Apparently ADO had generated a transaction and rolled it back. (why I don't know) I have looked in Microsoft's support database and on MSDN to no avail. Rather then rewriting my T-SQL as stored procedures for these functions, I'm hoping for some insights from anyone else who has been down this nasty road.
Here is the exact scenario:
Problem #1:
A form that accepts data and has an update button does not update the recordset being used to populate the form. I even coded a rst.Update statement into the code. The record within the recordset isn't updated until the DoCmd.GotoRecord , , acNewRec call has been made.
I suppose I could code the insert statement myself, but shouldn't Access be updating the database for me. (it does have r/w access)
Problem #2:
A subform that performs a query and allows records to be added to a table does not correctly detect data returned from the query. A check is made in the code for a field (which has a value of 0) but the code detects a null value. If I step through this code in the debugger, enough time passes that the value is present and I never see the problem. If I set a breakpoint at the error, the null condition is indicated, even though the debugger shows a value of 0 for the field.
SQL Server version is 2000, with SP3a applied.
I updated the MDAC to 2.8, JET to 8.0 and still the same problem. I cannot find anything in my ADO or Access books for a setting that would cause this behavior. My connection is using the following info:
Set Conn = New ADODB.Connection
Conn.CursorLocation = adUseClient
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
Connection string: Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=myserver;Initial Catalog=mydb;Trusted_Connection=Yes;Integrated Security=SSPI;
Recordset Cursor type: adOpenDynamic
Recordset LockType: adLockOptimistic
I open the recordset using:
rst.Open mytable, Conn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTableDirect
Problem # 1
After manipulating the data in the form, I press a "save" button on the form. This button calls a number of subroutines, eventually executing the code below:
rst.Update
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
Problem # 2
I set the recordsource using: (in the form_open)
Me.RecordSource = "Select * from mytable where myfield = 'data'"
In the form_unload, the problems occur. It tests for a value stored in the form from the query. This value is null at the time of the code execution, it has a value when inspected within the debugger however.
Maybe I'm missing something here, this project was originally coded using DAO. My conversion to ADO is 95% complete. (all of these two components are converted to ADO) This problem is causing me to miss out on sleep and look like a rookie.
Has anyone seen or heard of something such as this? Is there any hope for this snarled mess of 25K lines of code?
Thanks!
Hi,I have developed an application using VB 6 (SP 5), MS Access 2000 andCrystal Reports 9. I migrated from from access to SQl Server 2000.This wasn't a problem as i could import all the tables to SQL Server.Also, i could make VB6 talk to SQl Server.The problem arsies when i run my application. The sql syntax foraccess seems to be different than that for SQL Server. A simpleexample being: In access boolean datatype is true/false ,whereas inSQL Server the boolean equivalent is bit (numerical 1 or 0). Thesekind of issues are causing problems and most queries don't run.Would i need to go and change all the queries in accordance with SQlServer syntax ,which would be very time consuming or is there anyfunction which will convert the access datatype into its equivalentSQl Server datatype??Any input/thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.ThanksJatin

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are experiencing a problem with Sql Server 2000 linking to anAccess 97 file.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
Well, it's a bit difficult to explain this issue. I have written an e-commerce asp.net web site the web site will be hosted on a regular web host that i bought from a hosting company. and we have 2 servers in our company which one of them has internal ip address and the other one has fixed ip address. I have to install my sql 2000 db on the first server(the one with internal ip), I wanted to know that how can I link the the data base to the website via the second server(the one with fixed ip address). I was thinking about using link servers in sql server....
Could any one told me that if it is a good idea or not????
Our installation installed an application using SQL 2000. This now gives us both
SQL 7 applications to support and a SQL 2000 application.
SQL 2000 client tools were installed on my desktop replacing the SQL 7 client
tools. I understand that SQL 7 tools will not support SQL 2000, but SQL 2000
tools support both SQL 7 and SQL 2000.
I have a SQL 7 apps in two different domains. I am able to register in EM the server
in the domain I logon too, but am unable to register the server in the other domain.
Any ideas on how to register a SQL 7 server in a domain other than the one my desktop
is logged in to?
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
I have a customer with Office 2000 and uses Access 2000. I normally use SQL/7, but for this job would it be save to use MSDE on the web site so the customer can upload and download the MSDE file for product information? I use SQL/7 for the backend. Please advise.

Are there any documented bug/incompatiblities with Access 2000 linked to SQL 7?
I have an Access form that is used to do data entry to SQL7. In Access 97 the forms worked great, but now in Access 2000, if a user pastes plain text into a field, when they save the record all the text is converted to questions marks.
TIA

Is there a way to call a sqlserver stored procedure from an access database?
Thanks

Hello folks,
To begin with, I aplogize for not posting a pure SQL Server question in this forum. I thought some of you might be able to help me out.
I have an Access application (both front and back ends built in Microsoft Access). I don't have the source code which has access forms and the VB code. All I have is an .mde (Access executable) and .mdb (Access database) that carries the actual data. All the forms in .mde are linked to data in this .mdb
We are planning to convert the whole thing into ASP & SQL Server, but before it gets ready, we want to change the back end to SQL Server leaving the front-end App in Access. My plan is to make all the tables in my MDB to linked tables that point to SQL Server. But since my .mde already has linked tables pointing to the access tables in MDB, it is not allowing me to have a linked table pointing to another linked table.
Can anyone let me know if there is any workaround to achieve this? Your help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
RV
I am linking to an SQL table through an access database.
I need to add records to the SQL table through the Acess .mdb but
the linked table will not let me.
How can I fix this?
Any help is appreciated.

Dear All,
I need to import data from Access 2000 into SQL 2000.
The collection of Access 2000 databases I have are build identically, with differing data. I need to get that data into some tables I have built in SQL 2000 .
I understand there are 3 main methods, DTS, BCP, Bulk Insert.
I would prefer not to use BCP since I want to write a Stored Proceedure to call the data in. Any thoughts ?
hi,
somebody asked me this question but I haven't succeeded to give a good answer...
The question was...
Access 2000 is a DBMS and Sql server is an RDBMS,so what makes sql server a RDBMS in context of Codd's rule?What are the properties that Access doesn't have to be a RDBMS?
May be this is not so important issue,if anybody wants to answer plz help,gurus are requested not to waste their valuable time....If any of the gurus come I would be delighted....:D
