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.

Hi everyone,In using the SQL Server Database Wizard in Access 2000 to create a newaccess project, I get two consecutive error messages and then the wizardshuts down. The first, which apprears immediately after starting the wizardis a message box stating something like "the property value is too large".After clicking through and filling out the values in the connection anddatabase dialog, I get a second dialog box with the message "Overflow" andthe wizard terminates.My operating system is Windows 2000 Professional with Access 2000 and MSDE2000.Does anyone have any thoughts about what might be causing these errors?Thanks in advance.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to view the sample databases within Access 2003. When I try to view them an error message appears saying I need MSDE 2000 but this will not run on Windows Vista which is my operating system. What do I need to view the sample database as well as develop applications within Access using SQL server?
View 1 Replies View RelatedCan you install Sql Server 2000 Developer Edition with MSDE 2000 release A already installed?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy objective is to use Enterprise Manager to move (copy) my SQL db from the server to my windows desktop computer.
I downloaded MSDE and am having trouble installing it, no doubt because I do not understand the documentaion (ReadMeMSDE2000A.htm).
When I try to run setup, I get that message that says:
"A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same."
Considering my purpose, do I need a "strong" SA password? If not, how do I get around it? If yes, how do I set it up?
I am a Mac user so I have poor windows skills, please make it as painless as possible for me, thanks!

Am very new to MS SQL adminstration

The activity which am going to workout on MSDE is below.
How to install SQL(on XP)
How the layout will be(like if i insall MSDE what are all Application will be and how they depends on each other)
How to create/delete tables if so, how can we do it either by GUI or CUI
just i need a clarifications reg same
Thank you,

Will any application developed against SQL Server 2000 Developer
Edition work on an identical platform with only MSDE 2000 installed? I
understand there's a concurrency limit with MSDE 2000 of around 25 (and there's no GUI) but apart
from that, are there any aspects of SQL Server 2000 functionality (from the .NET applicaiton code's point of view) that
are "disabled" in MSDE 2000?
Trying to transfer databases from MSDE to SQL. When I use SQLEnterprise Manager - DTS - import or export, it works for the firstdatabase, but then fails for the others. I select the to and fromdatabases using DTS - Import - 'MS OLE DB Provider for SQL Server',then select 'Copy objects and data between SQL Servers'. It failswith the generic error message: 'Copy objects failed', nothingfurther. I tried to just copy data, and it doesn't work totally. Ontwo databases, it said that it copied everything, but when I go inunder Enterprise manager, some of the tables are incomplete, i.e. nodata, table shows up in the list, but if you try to look at it, itsays that it is missing or empty. Also, one table was not evencopied. In the other two cases, I get errors, does not copy alltables. I get errors, like insert fails, but the column it referencesfor the table does not even exist in that table. Any suggestionswould be appreciated.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi went through the documentation but i was not clear on following, here is the scenario :-
a Central server is having SQL Server 2000
3 Remote Locations :- Each having 4-5 no of computers, connected on a Lan, and on one of the machines MSDE 2000 will be running.
My Questions are :-
1. Can remote locations, update data locally and send changes (say in every one hour) to central server. If yes, then how ??
2. Same way they can receive updates from Central Server on whatever was updated on Centra Server or on the 3 remote locations. If yes, then How ??
any help will be highly appreciable.
I am creating an install program and I'm wondering if there is a
difference between SQL Server 2000 and MSDE 2000? Do they have
different entries in the Registry?
From the documentation that I've read it seems as if they are one and the same.
However, if someone knows how to differentiate between them in the Registry it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I need to make a website with lots of datatables, ans connections bettween them.
who's better? MSDE or access? WHY? WHYNOT?

Hi,
I don't have Visual Studio, so I'm using web matrix and MSDE. My question is, how do I get to MSDE? I don't have the enterprise manager that comes with SQL Server. Thanks

I am about to setup an application server. This app will generate reports and instead of just having a HTML page up, I am considering running dotnetnuke type portal to offer the userbase a better interface for the reports, info, announcement, etc.
Server isn't too bad (2x1.7Ghz Xeon I think, 2GIG RAM) type of setup (may be little more or less). App doesn't require as much resources, but we are planning for the future )
While I have some resource to play with, I also need to make sure I don't load much that may impact the application performance. In my experience, SQL Server 2000 will take a lot of resources even when not used as much. So I am considering MSDE.
I am curious however, WHAT ARE THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SQL 2000 Server Vs MSDE 2000 ?
Beside no Client tool and mostly command line specific command, what else there to convince that I should go for server vs desktop engine?
Now our company has Enterprise license for SQL, so I am not worried about the cost (well a little maybe), but mostly wondering about performance.
If you think of any reason why I go to SQL Server 2000 over MSDE, please let me. Otherwise, I think MSDE in this case is the appropriate RDBMS to go for.

Hi,
How does one install MSSQL 2000 on a machine that's already running MSDE 2000? Do i need to unintstall MSDE, or both can be installed seperately??
Is there a way to simply upgrade MSDE into MSSQL 2000?
Thanks!

HiI am just starting my first .NET project using the web matrix and an MSDE database. I am pretty much at the limit of my knowledge - all very interesting. I have some data in an Access spreadsheet (6 columns and 365 rows) which in the past I have copied and pasted into an Access database table. How do I get it into a MSDE database table? This process does not need to be automated/programmed as I will only have to do it once a year. Any ideas on the easiest way forward would be much appreciated.Thanks in advance.Mike

Does anyone know if it is possible to replicate a database from MSDE to Access 2002??
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all
I have MSDE installed on my machine to support off-line use of a web application.
The database (MDF) file in question is stored on an encrypted area of my hard drive, which must be unlocked each time the machine starts up by the user entering a password.
Unfortunately, by this time the SQL Server service has already started, and although it still lists the database along with master, etc, it cannot access it. I believe the error mentions that some files are unavailable.
Stopping and restarting SQL Server using Service Manager fixes this problem. However, this can only be done when logged in as Administrator. I need to find a solution for normal users without Admin privileges.
Is there any other way of making the now-unlocked MDF file available to SQL Server? I thought about using SQLDMO to Refresh databases, but no joy.
This is a real show stopper for my application, which I've spent three years developing! It goes without saying that I'm writing this message with a long face. If anybody has any suggestions I would be very happy to hear from you!
Best wishes

I want to move my Access 2K database into MSDE. The Access UpsizingWizard crashes (a known bug wi A2K), so I'm using the followingsuggested method:Access --> New --> Project (Existing Database)This asks for the name of the .adp file to create and then launchesinto the Data Link Properties dialog box (so far so good) I select myMSDE server from the drop-down, enter the sa account & passwd, attacha database file and try to select the .adp file that was just created.Unfortunately, the "Select SQL Server Database File" dialog is lookingfor an .MDF file, not an .ADP file.If I try to kludge it and select the .adp file anyway, the TestConnection produces an error:"Test connection failed because of an error in initializingprovider. The header file "D: est.adp" is not a valid database fileheader. The FILE SIZE property is incorrect."Any suggestions on how to proceed?Note:I've got Access 2000 SP1, Visual Studio.Net 2002, MSDE and SQL WebAdministrator running on XP Prof SP2.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know that SQL Server cost plenty to license for internet use...per year. But is there the same costs for MSDE and/or Access? I was recently told that every internet user would have to have a license to use a site that had Access as the database. I'm really not sure how true that is or if its MS support fobbing me off. Anyone know?
View 4 Replies View Relatedhi,
I need to choose a database based on the following criteria (using .NET app):
1) a light but fully functional database, preferably with the support of store proc and constraints, less than 8000 transaction a day.
2) portable or the database can be export/import very easily
3) reliable and stable
4) least maintenance
I have two db in my mind, Access and MSDE?
Does anyone have some hand-ons experience on the above two? Or any other better suggestions?
Any advice is appreciated.
thanks,

I have an mircosoft access database, but now i want to attach it to MSDE, how can i do impliment this????
i already try to use the following commands
exec sp_attach_db 'example','c:example.mdb'

The header of this file 'c:example.mdb' is not a valid database file header. The FILE SIZE property is incorrect.
I have a named instance of MSDE running on my windows 2k3 web server. I can connect just fine using ODBC to that DB whailst I am on the server.
I would like to be able to create an ODBC connection from my local machine (running Windows XP pro) to the MSDE database on my server but I can't get it going.
I have heard that I need to edit the registry but a Google search warns that this could be a vulnerability...
How do I do it without compromising the security of my web server?
TIA
I have a large VB 6.0 application running with Jet 4.0 Access DB. I am considering moving the DB to MSDE. For testing, I installed MSDE on another computer in a peer to peer network running XP sp1, loaded up the DB from Access to MSDE2000A -- all without problem. (I should add the obvious fact I am new to using SQL server.)
What I find is that with a relatively small test DB, running just a single instance of the application, query response from MSDE is taking several seconds (4-5 second lag) longer than response from the Access DB, which runs extremely fast. This is with the Access DB installed on the same network drive, running the same application and the same queries syntax -- only changing configuration of connection for each (SQL vs Jet 4).
Any clues as to what may be going on? The lag time is unacceptable. I am using SQL password instead of NT security. It seems the process is perhaps lagging in the process of authorization.
Thanks for any suggestions or ideas on this.
Hello all, im new here and do not have no experience with sql. I am trying to install a tax software that I need to run my little business. When I install it gets to a popint that it asks me for my SQL server usernme and password. I remember doing this last year and I reinstalled MSDE and set up a username and password. I seem to not remember what I used, i tried all that I would have but can not get past that step.
I remember adding some lines in the setup,ini file when I installed it last year. Now I can go ahead and reinstall it again and set up a new one, but will the uninstalling and reinstalling of MSDE affect my previous software from last year? Its the same software but I need this years installed.
I have tried using sa as the username and a blank password, with a password and others that I have read up on, still cant log on. Keep getting worng credential screen.
Is there a way to get that info, i doubt it or else it would not be secure, or can I just simply reinstall MSDE?
Many thanks!!
Did anybody tried to use this as a database server? Is there an administration interface somewhere which is free?

This is my first time using SQL. I installed MSDE 2000 on my desktop and after restarting my PC I see an icon in the startup area MSSQLServer with the server being my T-Tag #.
I am trying to upsize my Access DB to Sqlserver. I am still confused as to where does this server reside? How does this whole thing work?
Also, when I tried to upsize my db I got an overflow error.
Could someone please explain how does this work?
