Linking To A SQl 7 Backend Using Access 97
Mar 22, 2001
I created a SQl Server 7 database and used an Access 97 frontend on the same computer. The Access frontend uses linked tables to reach the SQl server. The security setup I have is based on the NT Domain Accounts and whatever group
I have them in (example: Mr. D is in Marketing therefore he is in a NT Domain
Group called "SQL_MARKETING"...the SQL Server recognizes that everyone in this
group has access to whatever role I have designated for it in the database").
I can access the linked tables fine on my computer at my desk or at the server. Another person with the exact same administration rights as me can
get to the server through the network neigborhood or by mapping..and they
can access the Access frontend with no problem from their computer. But
when they try to open a linked table they recieve an error message that
the ODBC connection has failed. We are all running Access 97 service pack
2 and another person and me have the exact same administration..but only
I am able to access the Access linked SQL tables but not him.I tried deleting
the ODBC system dsn on the server and the linked tables and then re-adding them and the ODBC link but to no avail. Does anyone know why this would
be occuring? Thank You in advance.

I have a database with a sql backend and an access frontend. I put it in a folder on the network for users to access. First, they were getting errors like not being able to access the database if someone else had it open and not being able to perform certain functionality. It was suggested that i put a mde on each of the users pc. i gave them all access to their own front ends on the folder because they use different pcs. this solved the problem. however, i need a way to perform updates without manually creating mdes for every user. i used to work for a co that there was one mde was put into a folder on the network with a config file. The users access the database through CITRIX. Whenever they accessed the shortcut on the server, it created the users their own front end. Whenever we need to provide updates, we simply made a new mde from the mdb and whenever the user accessed the database again, they would have the latest mde and it would created an update frontend for the user. Does anyone know of such an utility or know what I am referring too? I encounted several suggestions like a batch file; but they refer to putting the file and the mde on each users pc. This is not how i'm set up. Thanks

If I'm using an Access front-end, and the data is on SQL Server being accesses via a linked table, and I create a query in Access, Where is all the work done?
I know access has the option of using a pass-through method, but if I do not use it, is Access processing the query locally? I plan on migrating several tables to SQL because the sizes are getting to large for Access and want to know if their will be a performance increase with out re-writing the queries in Access.
Thanks in advance,
Adam

Hello. I have an Access 97 frontend and a SQL 7 backend. When I try to open up the linked SQL tables in the frontend I recieve the error " This recordset is not updatable" from Access. I have the permissions in SQL set at this point to public having all permissions but it still does not change my problem. Does anyone know the answer?

Ok, little frustrated hence the excessive exclamation points.
I'm designing a database in access to use a sql backend. Table structures are setup and am creating a view to join multiple tables together for data entry purposes. Tables are joined properly but when I add more than one join, ie adding more than two tables, I can't add records!?!
I checked the joins, it's not the table, since if I add one table its ok, remove table, add another table and that works, but when I add both tables together, it prevents me from adding records!
And another thing, when I have just two tables joined together and add a record, it comes up with this save changes, drop changes or cancel thingie!!! WTF!!!?
Is there something simple i'm missing or is it my table structure????
Thanks in advance!

Hi, this is my first post (hopefully of many) on this board. Just wanted to say a quick hello before I dive into my question. :)
As the title suggested, I have to develop a MS Access form app (yes, it has to be Access - I know it sucks) that will post and query data to and from a remote SQL Server db. While I have no problem linking the two through the default ODBC drivers, my question is security. Some (actually most all) of the data being passed back and forth is sensative information, and I would like to know the best way to keep it safe.
If anybody has any suggestions, instructions, or can redirect me to a good FAQ site on the subject, I would be most appreciative. I have already done a search on these forums for an answer, but have sadly come up short.
Thanks to all in advance!

My company currently has about 20-25 Ms Access Database that they want toreplace the FE with .net and the BE on SQL.This will be done using Visual Studio 2005. Once the FE is converted to .netand the BE is SQL they all will be accessed through our intranet (sharepoint).I work in Ms Access and intermediate at VBA and just learing SQL through theENTERPRISE MANAGER SCREEN.I am just now looking at what Visual Studio 2005 is, but can some one tell mehow this will all connect?What is the typical route for this process?Ms access to SQL - upsizing wizard or SQL importing?????Ms Access FE to .net - summarize how this is done in visual studio (user facerebuilt) then placed on sharepoint?Can anyone sum this up?--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com

Hi,
We are new Access users and trying to take our database live...here are some of the problems we're facing.
When we split our Access database into a Backend and Frontends, a couple of strange things happened in the Frontend:
1.) When we run our queries, multiple copies of the same record are displayed (this is wrong).
2.) When we look at those queries in design view, the field names are preceded by Expr1, Expr2, Expr3, etc.
We have a large number of queries. How can we fix this problem?
Also, if anyone knows any websites or resources that can help us understand what things like Expr1 mean (a reference) that would be helpful too!
Thank You!!!

I have an application that uses Acces as a backend and VBA as front end. Application is secured and is supplied on a CD with setup.exe.
Can I use VB 2005 and MS SQL to achieve the same?
Would I be able to package my application with all the neccessery files (assuming that client does not have any e.g. SQL server) so that multiple front ends can access data from common source?
Would I be able to secure such an application using only VS 2005?
What would I need to quickly learn how to achieve the above ( any books you can suggest maybe)?

Hi there,I sincerely hope that someone out there can help. I have twoinstances of the SQL 2000 Desktop Engine running. One is on my localmachine for development and the other is on another machine on ournetwork which is the production environment. I have built an Access2003 front end application which connects to this database. Thisworks fine locally, as you would expect. I successfully installed thedatabase on the production machine and am able to connect to it viaAccess 2003 (using the Data Link Properties window) and from thirdparty database manager software (similar to Enterprise Manager). I amnot able to to connect to the database via my application.I am using the "sa" account with a strong password. This is myconnection string:strConnection = "Provider=sqloledb;DataSource=server02;UserId=sa;Password=strong;Initial Catalog=Test"The error I'm getting is:"Connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is eitherclosed or invalid in this context."The connection string is the only thing that changes in my code when Iswitch from my local to my production database. Is there some reasonthat I can't use the "sa" account in this fashion that I'm not awareof? I'd rather not use integrated security for simplicity's sake asthis is a small, internal application. Also, I would have thoughtthat if that was the issue, I couldn't use "sa" at all, even locally.I'm going to post to the Access group as well but thought someone heremight have some advice to offer as well.Thanks,Barb

We recently upgraded a number of databases from MS Access 2000 to SQL Server 2000. I need to make it so that users can display the data from the SQL Server so I created some link tables in Access for them to view the data without using SQL Server Enterprise Manager. This works fine in tables with only a few thousand rows of data. However some of the tables have 100K+ rows of data, and these are not displaying the data. When someone tries to view the data in one of these tables all they see is #Deleted in every column. Is it possible to link to tables in SQL Server with large numbers of rows and view this info in Access?

OK here is my situation: I work in a laboratory with a 10 year old instrument that stores results in an Access 97 DB. The DB is beautifully designed and implemented. The problem is that since the software is so old, once the DB gets above a few MB in size the application starts to fail. So their solution is to Backup (make a copy) and Cleanup (delete data older than X days) once a week. So what I end up with is a bunch of copies of the DB, which fragments the data that I need. In order to get the data results I have been using an Access 2003 DB linked to this one (because I can't create Views in that database). The lab users then use the linked DB directly or I have written some automation code in Excel VBA (ADO) to simplify it for the other users. This allows us to query data immediately as it is produced.
My hope is that I can somehow get all of the data into a SQL Server DB. Now I have imported one of the backup copies of the DB in and the table structure and data imports fine into SQL Server, but I end up with duplicate rows because the different DB backup files have overlapping data, and for some reason there aren't PKeys. Also, I'd prefer to have some way of automating the input. Something like a trigger on the Access table so that any new data is imported into the SQL DB automatically. I doubt this is possible, but that is generally what I am trying to do and I am out of ideas. The ultimate goal is that the SQL DB will always be "updated" and I can use that as my query source and take advantage of the power of SQL Server.
Hopefully that all made sense... if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.
Thanks for your time.

Is there a way to link MS Access tables with SQL Server tables so the client app sees them as tables from one database?
I have tried linked server but it appears that it gets stale after a while and needs to be re linked from time to time which is not very practical.

Hi,
I have an existing Access DB with many Tables, Forms, Queries and Reports. I need to put a SQL Server Back end on this database.
Do I need to code a mirror images of these objects or is there some way to export these into SQL Server?
Also, where do I deal with assigning usernames and passwords? Access or SQL Server. I need to have different views for different users based upon their rights (user, admin)
Thanks,
Mark

Hello,
I am using MS Access 2000 as a front end to a SQL Server 2000 db. When I link to the SQL Server db using a DSN, the SQL Server table pk's and indexes are not coming over with the link. The pk's and indexes do exist in SQL Server. I haven't had to link to these tables in over a year, but they used to link just fine.
Do you have a suggestion as to where to look at this problem?
Thanks you - Darryle

Hi, I need to link an Access 97 database to sql server 2000. I can't use Enterprise Manager so I have created a simple asp.net page using sp_addlinkedserver and sp_addlinkedsrvlogin.
The mdb file is on a network share, then I have permissions problems: here is a sample
sp_addlinkedserver 'test', 'Access 97', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'\SVKNFS080Pshareaccess97db1.mdb', 'efco'
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'test', false, 'sa', 'Admin', NULL
I have no problems executing these stored procedures (the linked server is added in sysservers table), but when I try to query the access database
SELECT * FROM test...profile
I get this error
Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server][OLE/DB provider returned message:
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\SVKNFS080Pshareaccess97dboutlet.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.]
The mdb file is not locked, I think is a permission's problem.
Can anyone help me ?
Thanks in advance

We recently installed SP2 on our SQL Server 7.0 database, and it appears to have changed the way Access databases are linked. Any user other than SA cannot connect to the linked Access tables. We receive the error 7302, which is 'Could not create an instance of OLE DB provider...'. Before the SP2 upgrade, this link was working fine, and non SA personnel (DBOs included) could connect to the linked DB and run queries.
We tried dropping and recreating the Access link, and it still has the same results. We also tried connecting to another Access database, and had the same results. The Access databases we are trying to connect to have no built in security, and the sharing permissions appear to be working because the SA can connect.
Has anyone else run across this error? Is it a problem with SP2?

Hi,
I am using an MDB file to talk to a SQL Server. I would like to use pass-through queries to keep as much of the processing on the server as possible. However, I have been told that the results of such queries will be read-only. How do I keep the processing on the server but generate read-write answers to my queries?
Thanks

Hello,We have a database in MS SQL 2000 and I'm trying to link to it from MSAccess XP. I've created a user with full access to one specific tablein the MS SQL database, but Access won't write to it.I can open this table in MS Query Analyzer and log-in as the user, andI can do update, delete, and select queries just fine... but when Ilink to the table from MS Access using the same MS SQLusername/password, I can only read the data... no write or delete.Since I can update data fine in MS Query Analyzer, I assumepermissions are setup properly. Anyone know why I can not edit thelinked data from MS Access?Thanks,Alex.
