I'm trying to use the ActiveX control "Microsoft ADO Data Source" so I can link my datagrid to it. Unfortunately I can't seem to get that component installed into my Visual Studio. When I right-click to add an ActiveX control to my form, it's not in the list.
I'm using Visual C++ 2005. I did a full install, installed service pack, and installed latest MDAC and it's service pack.
What do I need to do to get this ActiveX control?
Hi,
Is there an ActiveX control for the Report Designer available so I can just drop it into my program so the user can edit or add reports without buying the Business Intelligence Studio or Visual Studio 2005? I understand I'll have to pay royalties on this but depending on the cost I am open to it.
Thanks
Does anyone know where I can find a freeware Rich Text to HTML ActiveX Control?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAs most are aware by now, the Report Viewer controls for reporting services in 12.0 and prior rely on ActiveX to work. This causes compatibility issues for any non-IE browser, and as of IE11 and now Windows 10 Edge browser it's causing issues for even IE. Research suggests that SSRS 2014 switched out to Silverlight:
[URL]
However, Silverlight uses NPAPI which is another technology for which all browsers are ending support. As of this writing, Chrome has already ended support. Similarly/Coincidentally Java support is ending as well.
My question is, what are Microsoft's plan to restore functionality such as print/search for browsers where ActiveX/Silverlight cannot be used since this support is no longer strictly a 3rd party browser situation?
Hello,
I am passing the partameters to MS Report Viewer control to view the report. It is working fine with normal parameters like 'abc', 'Jon' etc.
But fails with parameters having special characters like 'abc+', 'Version 1.1 Part 1', 'R1.8 RC' throws error "
The parameter is missing a value"
Could anyone please help on this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUPDATE #2: When it said "Do you want to install Microsoft SQL Server" I said "yes" and that caused it to work. I exited and re-ran and now the print runs w/o the "install SQL Server" (If the prompt had said "Do you want to install the print dialog" we wouldn't be having this discussion...)
UPDATE: After posting this i discovered that the same thing occurs when attempting to print the report direct from IE6: First a dialog pops up "Do you want to install this software?" Name: Microsoft SQL Server. When I click "Don't Install" I get the dialog "unable to load client print control." Since this happens direct from IE6 I suspect it's browser settings. I'll resume tomorrow and post a followup.
My WinForm C# app integrates Reporting Services by calling them from WebBrowser controls. The problem is attempts to print cause a dialog: "unable to load client print control."
I've read prior posts that say "enable Active-X in your browser" - I don't know how to do that from a WebBrowser control.
Any ideas how to support Reporting Services "Print" from within a WebBrowser control?

How do I use ActiveX script in DTS to do a 'Save As' on an excel file and
convert that to a tab delimited text file ?
Help is much appreciated.

I have to put some ActiveX code in the first step of a DTS package, which will search thru all the files in some folder and if it finds a file with filename starting with "Test" (like TestFile.txt), the script will rename it and then use it for transforming data to SQL tables.
In VB Dir$ function could have been used, what should I use in ActiveX?
Thanks a lot for your help

Hello,
I have a DTS package that has an ActiveX task. This task works with access to create databases and push out data to them. The problem is, I'm getting an error trying to establish a connection to the SQL Server database as such:
set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
I get this as a resolution:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;201740
But I wasn't sure since I'm not dealing with ASP. I'm trying to run the task as myself manually, not scheduled also, for testing purposes. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hi there,
Can I be able to call a Activex DLL from Sp or from triggers.
Sachi
Looking for a answer..
I'm attempting to write my first activex script. Not familiar with VB script so bear with what might seem like a simple question.
I'm trying to use an activex script in a dts to do a transformation. I have all the columns as straight copies except for one which I'm doing an activex script. What I'm trying to do is if the date is less than 1900-01-01 I want to default it to 1900-01-01. Every once in awhile a date comes across from the source file with a date of 0001-01-01 which sql doesn't like so I want to default it to 1900-01-01 instead. The script I've created parces fine but when I run the dts I get an error that the activex script encountered an invalid data value for source column LLAI. I don't understand why. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the script.
Function Main()
If DTSSource("LLAI") >= "1900-01-01" Then
DTSDestination("LastActivityISODate") = DTSSource("LLAI")
Else
DTSDestination("LastActivityISODate") = "1900-01-01"
End If
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function

Hi all,
I have a problem with a SQL Agent JOB on SQL 2K SP3 installation (on Win2K Server).
SQL Agent is running under a domain account with local Admin privileges and SA privileges in SQL server.
A job with an ActiveXScript step fails with "Permission denied: 'CreateObject line..."
If I execute the same ActiveXScript as cmdexec step (calling CSript with the VBScript as parameter) it works without any problem.
The ActiveXScript for reference:
Dim oXls
Dim oWorkBook
Dim oSheet
Set oXLS = CreateObject ("Excel.Application")
oXls.Visible = True
oXls.DisplayAlerts = True
Set oWorkBook = oXLS.WorkBooks.Add
Set oSheet = oWorkBook.ActiveSheet
oSheet.Name = "Test AG"
oWorkBook.SaveAs "C:TempTestAg.Xls"
oWorkBook.Close
Set oSheet = Nothing
Set oWorkBook = Nothing
oXls.Quit
Set oXlS = Nothing
Does anybody have any idea why approach 1 fails while approach 2 does work happily?

I ran this activeX script with my DTS package. For debugging purpose I included the message box. The message is showing the actual name of the file but the the file name is not changing to the name display in the message box.
Function Main()
ms_year = year(date())
ms_month = month(date())
ms_day = day(date())
ms_date = ms_year & "_" & ms_month &"_" & ms_day & "_"
dim objFSO, strFullNm
set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFullNm = DTSGlobalVariables("FilePathRoot").value & "IMS_ALL_DONATIONS.txt"
'check to see if file exist and then concatenate the file
if objFSO.FileExists(strFullNm) then
strFullNm = DTSGlobalVariables("FilePathRoot").value & " " & ms_date & "IMS_ALL_DONATIONS.txt"
MsgBox "This is the new filename: " & strFullNm
else MsgBox "File does not exist"
end if

I migrated the DTS from 2000, and the migrated SSIS which includes ActiveX script is 11KB, takes 00:00.125 running. I rewrote the SSIS using some new features provided in BIDS, and the new package is 50KB, takes 00:00:6.016 running. Is that normal or maybe because of the efficiency of my code?
thanks.

I am moving data from Access to SQL Server.
I have a term date field (datetime) whose source values in Access are '1/1/1700'

Here is my code
If DTSSource("TERM_DATE").value < '1/1/1753'
then DTSDestination("TERM_DATE").value = '1/1/1753'
else DTSDestination("TERM_DATE") = DTSSource("TERM_DATE")

i have a code that looks something like this
set mySourceConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
mySourceConn.Open = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=(local);Database=server_name;User Id=sa;Password=saPWD"
this works fine but the problem that i'm having is we do not want to hard code the password in the connection string.
so i was wondering if there is anyway to access the DTS Connection object from the ActiveX. i was able to get the object but it is in connection2 datatype and i am not familiar of using this datatype. Code below returned the connection2 object
'DTS_Conn is the name of the object i specified in the DTS'DTS_Conn --> SQL Server Connection objectDTSGlobalVariables.Parent.Connections("DTS_Conn")
can i use this connection2 object to run the sql statement and get the recordset?

I'm looking for a way to get the name of the server on which the DTS package lives.
I copy packages between servers. The problem is that everytime a package is copied
to different server, I have to change the reference in the connection strings to point
to the new server name. I'd like to find an automatic way to interrogate the server
name where the package currently lives and dynamically change connection strings
from within an ActiveX task. That would cut maintenance way down.
Hello,
Does anyone know how I add the SQLDMO library to enable me to reference it in DTS Active X scripts? I do not want to install VB on the server to do this.

Hi everybody.
I've been looking on-line for about a day now and can't find what I'm looking for. I don't know much about ActiveX and even less about using it in a DTS package. If you guys could help me out be telling me what to use/give a few minimal examples I can figure the rest out. I just can't find enough info on the web to do what I want.
I'll describe what I've got, what I'm trying to do with it, and we'll see what you guys think.
What I've got:
A table that stores To, Subject, MsgText, MsgHTML, and FileAttachment locations.
What I'd Like to do:
Write out the info in the table into a text file and then copy it to the Pickup folder to be sent. Now, I know DTS has an e-mail task, but the Dynaprops/e-mail task are being flaky. The information in the E-Mail doesn't always seem to update like I'd like it.
How I was planning on doing it:
Write an ActiveX script to Create the E-mail, store it in the DB, and then Write it out to the txt file to be sent.
I think this'd be a good way to do it, but then again I could be wrong. Maybe use something else? Please help. I could use it.
Your help is more than appreciated.
Thanks!
