Link To Express Table In Access 2003
Jan 29, 2006
How can make link to a table stored in an sql express 2005 database in access 2003 ? the classic method doesen't work. i tried to use odbc databases as file type to link, then build a data source using SQL native clint driver, but in the combo for default database i don't have the database created before, only master,msdb, model, tempdb. If i try to use the attach database filename text box i receive an error "the datadase entered is not valid". Any suggestions ?
Thx

When trying to link to an SQL table in Access 2003, the software appears to be malfunctioning.
The sequence of events is File - Get External Data - Link Tables - Files of Type: ODBC Databases().
The Problem: On two of my computers, the select data source window does not pop up, preventing me from linking to any ODBC data source.
Observations: This function has worked normally in the recent past and works on other computers running Access 2003. One difference between the computers working and non-working computers is Norton Antivirus 2006 (recent upgrade).
Has anyone experienced anything like this? What's going on?

I initially created an Access application within Access 2003 which I subsequently migrated to SQLExpress 2005 (Tables only) using Microsoft SQL Migration Assistance for Access 2003 (SSMAA) and continue to use Access 2003 as a front end, this really was easy and worked perfect. Now I added a new table to my SQLExpress DB and need to link to it from my Access application but can not find a way to do so in the same way that the SSMAA does. I need to run the Access 2003 application in share mode from multiple PC in the LAN. If I try linking to the table using an ODBC connection I can only access from the PC where the link was done! Any ideas? THanks in advance.

PLEASE HELP ME
I'm a pretty smart guy, but sometimes I end up feeling left behind with all of the terminology I don't recognize.
I am running XP Pro, Access 2003, and SQL Server 2005 express.
I want to set up a ODBC connection in Access to a table that has been created in an SQL Server 2005 Express Database.
I keep getting the message connection failed, SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Can somebody here please help me?

Is there a way to integrate Access 2003 as the Front End for SQL Express?
I tried, but I can't make a new Access project because I need to specify a login/pass and I have no idea what those are set to, or if I need to make an account somehow.
As you can see, I am totally new to SQL and any help would be appreciated.
Thank You,
James

Hi all,
I have SQL Server 2005 Express running and I am creating a database through access (Access 2003 SP2) and no problem it creates the database...
But when I try to create other objects like views and database diagrams, I get the message below which is quite detailed but I just don't know where to get the service packs or updates needed to have this problem solved. Can anyone point out what the problem and the fixes are?
Here is the message that I get:
"This version of MS Office Access doesn't support design changes with the version of MS SQL Server
your access project is connected to. See MS Office Update Website for the latest information and
downloads (on the Help menu, click Office on the Web). YOur design changes will not be saved.
You have connected to a version of SQL server later than SQL Server 2000. This version of Visual Studio
or Access that you are using was released before teh version of SQL Server to which you are connected.
For this reason you might encounter problems.
Please check with MS to see if there is a service pack that you should apply to Visual Studio or Office
in order to get support for the version of SQL Server to which you are connected.
You can continue but any new object types might not be enumerated, and it will not be possible to
save any objects or database diagrams thatyou create using the Visual Database Tools."
Thanks

I am a fresher in using SQL with access.
I am using a code in Ms access to link a table that is in Sql express 2005.
I use this linked table name to download records to the local Access table.
The link is then dropped in Access.
Is there any way to write back records into the linked Sql table from Access.
It does not allow me to delete / add / modify records of a linked table.
How can I do this.
Thanks

Does anybody know if there is and update for access 2003 which could make it compatible with SQLServer Express. Actually XML Field are not supported, Diagram too, and surely much more.
Any help would be appreciate.

I recently started developing a new Access project for a client, and decided to try out Access 2003 with SQL Express 2005. Everything was going fine until I tried to modify a table from within Access. I got an error message that SQL Express is incompatible with Access 2003, and it suggested I go to the Microsoft website and search for a patch/upgrade to solve this.
I tried to ignore it, and it started warning me that none of my table edits would be saved.
I looked around, but I can't find anything about this.
Is this true? Is there a patch to fix this?

Hi
I have conntected an Access 2003 project to a database in SQL Express and when I try to create a new view or stired procedure I get the message
This version of Microsoft Access doesn't support design changes with the version of Microsoft SQL Server your project is connected to. See the Microsoft Office Update Web site for the latest information and downloads (on the Help menu, click Office on the Web). Your design changes will not be saved.
Is it a limitation or have I not got the appropriate permissions set up
And if it is a limitation does it matter
Thanks in advance

Is it possible to upsize an Access 2003 database to SQL Server Express without actually installing Access 2003 on my server....I would prefer to not have to do that. Currently, I only have the Access mdb file on the server...it is the backend to my ASP application. Can I download and run the Upsizing Wizard on it's own?
Thanks in advance,
Kris.

I upgraded an Access 2003 database to SQL Server 2005 Express with the upsize wizard- worked great! Have a field that needs to be a hyperlink data type. There is no datatype in SQL that is hyperlink. Even if it were a text field, possibly inserting a hyperlink would work, but the insert hyplink in Access is unavailable, because the datasource is sql, maybe. I have a command button that ties to this function which won't work, obviously since it is not available. I need this field, it points to a file containing data that is being imported into the database. Huge piece of the database functionality. Making it easy for the user to find the file and using the vba to convert the data.
Saw the option of jump to url, but I don't think that will work? couldn't find the exact syntax either.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I have an Access 2003 project (sp2) and the data in SQL Server 2005 Express.
My problem is when I try to make querys, diagrams, etc in Access, a warning tell me that I have installed a version of Access that is older than the version of SQL and all the designs that I make not be saved, and recommend a service pack for Access 2003 to correct the problem.
Can anybody help me, where is this SP??

Hello,
after successfully connect Access to the Server I want to add a table. I got an error message:
With this version of MS Office Access you are not able to make any drafts because this version of SQL server you are connected to does not support this. Check the MS Office update website for the newest downloads.
You habe connected to a version of SQL server which is newer than SQL server 2000.
Versions:
SQL Server runs on a MS Server 2003 SP1
Access 2003 (11.6566.6568 SP2) on an MS XP Pro SP1
all on actual patch level. Any ideas what's wrong?

I'm a long-time Access developer who is looking to migrate his approach to SQL Server CE 3.5 instead of having all these MDBs. One thing that I do like is using Access to surf through databases; it's a lightweight way to see the data without having to fire up the overhead of Visual Studio etc. Plus there's the QBE grid for easy query design for those of us whose tool-less SQL coding is a bit rusty...
Anyway, I was wondering whether it was possible to "attach" to a SSCE database so you can see it in Access. I've tried but haven't found a way of doing it. Any thoughts? Or is this an intentional lack of capability so we have to use a more robust tool such as Management Studio or Visual Studio?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
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.
Any suggestions?

Kind of a weird problem. Just migrated some Access tables to SQL 2005 backend. This is only happening on one users machine, WinXP and Access 2003 with the linked tables to SQL 2005. When they try to run a query that has a date criteria, Access will crash. Any other type of criteria, the query works fine. Things I have tried:
1) Installing Office Service Pack 3
2) Repairing Office 2003
Thanks.

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.

Hi all,
Hopefully I am posting this question in the correct forum. I am still learning about SQL 2005. Here is my issue. I have an access db that I archive weekly into and SQL server table. I have used the dst wizard to create an import job and initally that worked fine. field I have as the primary key in the access db cannot be the primary key in the sql table since I archive weekly and that primary key field will be imported several time over. I overcame this initally by not having a primary key in the sql table. This table is strictly for reference. However, now I need to setup a unique field for each of the records in the sql table. What I have done so far is create a recordID field in the sql table that is an int and set as yes to Identify (auotnumber). That worked great and created unique id for all existing records. The problem now is on the import. When I try to import the access table i am getting an error because of the extra field in the sql table, and the error is saying cannot import null value into this field. So... my final question is how can I import the access table into the sql table with one extra field which is the autonumber unique field? Thanks a bunch for any asistance.

We migrated a MS Access 2003 mdb into MS Access 2007. The mdb has linked tables to SQL Server via a DSN and utilizes a mdw file. In 2003, the username/password is "passed" to SQL Server, so the UID/PWD that is used for opening the mdb, is used in SQL Server.
Opening the same file in 2007 using the same mdw, gives a secondary login on SQL Server.
Is there a way to have MS Access 2007 pass the UID/PWD to SQL Server on linked tables, the same way that 2003 does?
Thanks!

I am trying to connect through ODBC connectivity, but it will not allow me to do so. I have investigated this matter. It leads me back to the server, because as I was configuring my client side database. It kept asking for the DSN(datasource name), but I was unable to choose one because there wasn't one to choose. Which is my current dilemma, How can I do this and have it available to choose from the server to satisfy the Access database?
I went to the domain where the software resides but I don't know what steps to take? I also found an interesting piece on microsoft about Kerberos, but I can't follow along according to the instructions it has. I have Access 2003 & SQL SERVER 2005, HELP...!
Basically, this is right off the heels of the install. I setup the server without the connectivity, but it is running the current configuration.

I developed a database with Access 2003 and everything was working good until my tech came in and reformated my hard drive and install a new Ghost image that met our company standards.
Now I cannot go in and make any changes to any of the tables, queries and forms. All of this started when a new Ghost image was installed on my pc.
The message I get when I try to open my database is "You do not have permission to run "tblSwitchboard." I get the same error message when I try to do anything at all on the database.
I am at a loss as to what to do. Please help.

I am working from within an SQL database trying to get data from an MS Access Database as a linked server. I can "successfully" add the linked server, but when I try to open it from SQL EM I get "Error 7399. . . " from Microsoft Jet. When I try to query it from QA I get "Could not initialize data source object of OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'. [OLE/DB provider returned message: Not a valid account name or password.]"
I tried both Access 2000 databases and '97. Same results for each. Big project pending . . . any help is appreciated!

I work extensively with Access; I have a new project with very large tables (as many as 15 million records). Is it worth my while to link Access to SQL Express if both are on the same machine?
I've downloaded SQL Express and installed it, but it won't let me link to Access 2003. Is there an update or patch to Access 2003 that will make this work?
If I do make the link successfully, will it be transparent - that is, can I work in Access as I always have, or would I have to learn how to create databases and queries in SQL? (I do know that I can make tables in Access and migrate them to SQL Server).
Where would I find simple step-by-step instructions to do this - my interest is more in the substance of my data analysis than in programming per se.
