User Instance Connection From Excel 2003
Apr 13, 2008
Hi
I am trying to connect to SQL Express from Excel VBA using an user instance.
I have tried the following connection string:
Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=.SQLExpress;AttachDbFilename=full_path_to_mdf; Database=dbname;Trusted_Connection=Yes;
And I get the following error : Could not open new database 'dbname' CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
All I want is an Excel document to connect to a .mdf that is stored on a CD (The database will be readonly). I do not want the database to be stored on the users hard drive.
Many Thanks
MP

Hello everybody,I was configuring a SqlDataSource control using SQL Authentication mode.I first added a database file (testdb.mdf) through Solution Explorer-Add New Items. Then through Database Explorer I created a table named "info"Then while configuring the SqlDataSource control I used the SQL Authentication mode and attached the "testdb.mdf" database file.Test Connection showed success. But when I hit the Ok button of the wizard it displayed the following error message:Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance.While configuring the SqlDataSource control I clicked "New Connection". Under Data Source section I tried both Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Database File. And in both the cases I attached a databese file(testdb.mdf). Plz enlighten me on this.Thanks and Regards,Sankar.

Hi,
I need to import an SQL string from MS Excel 2003 to SQL SERVER 2000.
The string I need to import is composed by 5 different several blocks and looks like:
Code Snippet
CommandLine01 = "USE mydb"
CommandLine02 = "SELECT Block ..."
CommandLine03 = "GO
ALTER TABLE Block...
GO"
CommandLine04 = "UPDATE Block..."
CommandLine05 = "SELECT Block..."
The detail of the SQL string is at:

Got windows Vista Business edition, installed Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express SP2, SQL Server Management Studio SP1 in that order. I was developing in VWD express without problems using WinXP but now on Vista Business, the local connection to SQL server appears to be a problem.
I know there's nothing wrong with my web.config or anything like that as it was working perfectly prior to running under Vista. If i specify the database on the live website, it works fine. If I specify the test database in app_data folder, I get the following exception:-

I am taking a guess it's somerthing to do with access issues, but can't find anything out on searching the forums etc..
I am setup as an administrator, running VWD as an administrator and for the record, SQL Server Management Studio express works fine.
Another small issue, when I run the application from VWD, I always have to minimise the application and restore it as the graphics get corrupt.
Please help!! I cannot debug when running of the live website.

Hi experts,
I have sql express installed on my machine and i'm using visual studio to create database files. After i've build a connection to my database file thru Server Explorer (choose Add attach files) i opened Management Studio Express and found that the new database has been attached to sqlexpress database engine----technically speaking it's under the user instance which i use to run my visual studio. right?? that's totally fine.My question is, after i'v closed the connection in visual studio, that attached database file still exist.I want it to be detached immediately after i've closed the connection in visual studio.How can i do that?
I've searched through internet and was told that sp_config can solve this problem by setting the user instance time out. I ran sp_config against my database but did not find that item. Could anybody give me some directions? thanks in advance.

I created a database that will be distributed to my customers. This database is running on an Instance of SQL Server 2005 Express edition. I removed the admin logins from my SQL Server Instance so in theory, only my application connecting itself using the Sql Server autenthication will be able to be access the data (using "sa" having a password that I set at the installation).
For now, all this is working fine and after some tests, I haven't been able to access the data in any ways except by using the "sa" and the password my app is the only one to know.
But the problem is coming from a security leak when using User Instance. Indeed, I've been able to create a program getting the content from my MDF file. If somebody try to get connected using User Instance on his own SQL Server instance, he will be able to reach the data.
How could I prevent this to happend? Is there a property or something that could be set into the database that would prevent the database (mdf file) to be used with User Instance?
Thanks!

Whenever I use "User Instance=True" as in the connection string below, I get an invalid connection string error. If I take it out, the connection string generates other errors.
"Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;User Instance=True;AttachDBFileName=|DataDirectory|DbName.mdf;Data Source=.\sqlexpress;"
Removing User Instance=True always eliminates the invalid connection string message.
BTW, I tried both Data Source=.\sqlexpress and Data Source=.sqlexpress.

Hello everyone,
I am new in .NET development and currently trying to learn VWB through Microsoft online tutorials.
Here is the problem that prevents me from getting further:
in VWB, when you right click App_Data and chose "Add New Item" and then select SQL database, the following error message is displayed:
"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed."
If I cancel out of it, it does generate mdf file under App_Data folder in Solution Explorer, but when I try to open it, it says:
"The item does not exist in the Web directory. t may have been moved, renamed or deleted." and that is where the whole sharade deadends.
I can connect via mycomputersqlexpress under Data Connections in Database Explorer (it then adds "master.dbo" to the path) and then create custom tables, but that is not the same, isn't it? I mean, this will not integrate my database tables through default configuration that I am trying to follow?
All this happens on local machine.
Thanks to everybody who can help!
Jeff

I was able to do do this before until Saturady when I had to re-install sql server, and express etc due to some system problem on my xp Pro PC. What have I misconfigured?
I do see the service SQL Serer(SQLEXPRESS) started under Network Service and SQL Serfver(MSSQLSERVER) started under local system.
My power user ID does have modify access to the sql 90 database folders. and to the mdf.

No wonder Microsoft is giving it away for free. It€™s not worth anything. I am very disappointed in this version of SQL server. I decided to start learning VB so I downloaded and installed VB 2005 express edition and SQL 2005 express. I tried to build a personal website using the starter kit. I kept getting the following error message, for which I have seen numerous postings on this forum.
€œFailed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.€?
I went out and bought the Standard version of VS 2005 thinking there may be a feature that the free express version is lacking. I uninstalled the express version, cleaned the registry, deleted all the folders it created and installed the Standard edition. Then I tried to create a personal web using the starter kit and it does the same thing again.
I can not create a database file, connect to a database file. I can not create or attach a database on the SQL 2005 express from VS 2005. The SQL server Express seems to be working OK since I can attach to it using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. There is something about the way VS tries to connect to the database server that is not working. VB does recognize the local computer as a SQL server but can not connect to it.
SQL server is set to accept Shared memory, TCP/IP and named pipes for local clients.
What is causing this?
This is some information on the system I am using:
MS XP (SP2)
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727
Installed Edition: Standard
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.1399.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.085.1117.00 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42
Operating System 5.1.2600
I am now to programming but nor computer illiterate. I have been working with MS SQL servers since version 6.5 and have MCSE, Network+, A+ and Security plus certifications. Installing and using VS should not be this problematic. What is wrong with Microsoft?

I'm using the RTM version of Visual Studion 2008 and SQLServer Express.
Logged in as an administrator, I can create a connection to an mdf file and all is well.
As a normal user, attempting to create a connection gives the message "sqlservr.exe has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have tried this with UAC turned on and turned off. The result is the same. In Services I can see that SQLEXPRESS is running, but each time I try to connect, I get the "stopped working" message.
For existing database programs that have the .mdf file stored in the project folder, I can run the program in the VS IDE on my XP machine and on my Vista machine as administrator, but not as a normal user.
I'm not looking for a workaround to make this work once, but the cause and solution to the problem. This is for an introductory VB textbook and we must be able to move a database program from one machine to another and make it work. Everything I have read says that SQLExpress should be able to do that.
Can anyone help me with this?

Hi all hope some one can help - please bear with me new to this
Basically I have had to change pc's so I copied and pasted my ASPNET.MDF and LDF from my old pc to new PC including webpages/apps etc.. created.
However now all I get is "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path """"

I installed my asp.net 2.0 web application and sql express june editon on my windows 2003 server.When the application tries to reach the database i am getting the following error"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed."I can understand that it has something to do with user right but more than that I am pretty lost. Can anyone translate this error for me and give me some tips on what do to.I checked first the user running the sql express service and saw it was the NETWORK SERVICE user. I changed it to be the local system account but that did not make any difference. The application is running just fine on my local computer(Win XP sp2). This one has SQL express April edition though.

The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server.
There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'.
I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
However, I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
but this doesn't work either.
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated
Thanks...

We have a DTS package that imports data from a client's Excel file. Previously our client was using Excel 2000, but recently they upgraded to Office 2003, and now suddenly when I try to view the transformation task properties I get a Jet Database Engine error: "External table is not in the expected format".
Everything else with the file appears the same (layout, formatting, etc.).
Any suggestions?

Hi guys and gals,
Since monitoring blocks on the server, I have noticed that when I have a whole lot of users thrown out of their apps, it's all because of one PC.
The program name is "Microsoft Office 2003". The user reckons that they haven't opened any Excel files that have any kind of link to the live database.
Is there any known problem that you are aware of where Excel can "remember" connection strings maybe from other files you have opened in the past and would that spuriously throw INSERT, UPDATE & SELECT statements to the database server and that then cause locks?
The idea seem ludicrous to me. I'm stumped.

Hi,
I have encountered an error when attempt to open a report which is exported to Excel using SSRS2003. It looks like this:
Microsoft Office Excel File Repair Log
Errors were detected in file 'C:Documents and SettingsTocsonEIMy DocumentsRigidReports
ptRigidTransactionSummaryReport3.xls'
The following is a list of repairs:
Damage to the file was so extensive that repairs were not possible. Excel attempted to recover your formulas and values, but some data may have been lost or corrupted.
At first I thought it was because of the sheer bulk of the report since when I break down a month's report to every 5 days, it would export without error. So I thought that if I can break a whole report into several worksheets using page break, it might work. Unfortunately, although I did succeed in exporting the whole report into several worksheets, I still encounter the same error. Now I have no idea on what the root of the error is. Note that the same report can be exported in other formats and can be opened without error. Except for a case when I tried opening the same report exported in XML using Excel, an error which might be related to the error above occurs which says that there's an invalid unicode character in the xml file.
Any help in determining the root of the problem and a solution to it?

I have a C# program that sends an e-mail with an Excel attachment. The Excel file is populated with the results of a SQL stored procedure before the e-mail program is executed. The entire process is in a DTS package (populate a temporary table, export the table to Excel, then send the e-mail). It is possible that the stored procedure will return no results, in which case the Excel file will not be populated.I'd like to know whether it is possible (and if so, how) to add some code to my e-mail program that will count the number of populated rows in the Excel file and if that number is <2 (the header row will always be populated), to quit and not send the e-mail.
An alternative would be for the DTS package to terminate if the stored procedure returns 0 records.
Thanks!

Hi all. I want to export data from excel 2003 to sql server 2005. I am using the following script:
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
Insert into Pamphlet
Select * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=C:Pamphlet.xls;HDR=YES', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet3$]')
But it is giving the following error:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
The above script is working fine with Excel 2002 but not with 2003. Can someone please provide me exact script of importing data from excel 2003 to sql server 2005. I have also tried the Linked server option but it is still giving the same error.
Please help me.

Is there a way to create a SQL 2005 x64 Linked server to an Excel (or Access) 2003/2007 file? In SQL 2005 32bit this was possible. Does anyone know of a solution or a work around?

I have a stored procedure in SQL Server which needs a parameter and returns a resultset.
sp_xxx 'parameterValue'
I'd like to know if it is possible to launch this stored procedure through Excel 2003 and get the resultset in the active spreadsheet.
I have tried to do this with Microsoft Query but it doesn't allow parameters in queries that can't be graphically represented.
I have tried also through an ODC files but I get an error.
Is it possible to do this?

Hi,
Is it possible to create a new user into Windows 2003 users table (not Sql) through a sql 2005 query ?
I ask this because I forgot the admin password of the Windows 2003 server and this is in a remote location, so I though, since I have the admin password of SQL 2005 server, maybe it could help me to log onto Windows 2003 and reset windows admin password.
Any help would be eternally appreciated
Regards.
George

--**************************************************************************************************************************
(I have it returning a value through SELECT to simulate returning a key value from the newly inserted record. I also use the RETURN value to fetch any error codes.)
'***************************************************************************************************************************
Public Sub PSInsertTest(cnConn As ADODB.Connection)
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset

rst.MoveFirst
MsgBox (rst.Fields("MaxValue").Value)
Else
MsgBox ("No Value")
End If
'Close database connection and clean up
If CBool(rst.State And adStateOpen) = True Then rst.Close
Set rst = Nothing
End Sub
'***************************************************************************************************************************
It goes ahead and inserts the record, but gets an error when I try to retrieve the "SELECT"ed value. I get the same results with the following statement:
rst.Open cmd, , adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly
The error is: Operation is not allowed when the object is closed
If I use the following command, I get the error below:
rst.Open cmd.Execute
Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another.
Any insights would be helpful

I have around 600 worksheets that i need to import into sql server that are in a somewhat non-table like format. Data defractor seems to be able to do what i need, but i also need to check into doing it manually. I've seen the code to import cells and ranges into sql server, but can't seem to remember what it is anymore. I've also searched through the forums and can't seem to find any examples either. Could anyone post an example or a link with some examples or explaination code. Thanks in advance.
