Possible to keep MS Access interface and migrate the MS Access to MS SQL Server?
Hello all Would it be possible to migrate the MS Access 2000 to MS SQL Server 2000? My application is using MS Access 2000 as database and as user interface such as forms. Now, I want to migrate the backend database from MS Access 2000 to MS SQL Server 2000. However, I want to keep the MS Access 2000 interface. Would it be possible? If I migrate the MS Access to SQL Server, would the queries, back-end VBA, macro, tables and forms be affected? Do I need to change the MS Access data type to SQL server supported data type? Which tool I can use to do the migration? Upsizing wizard or exporting...

I think you're going to have to expand a little bit more in your question here, as is not 100% quite clear what you're trying to do. You might want to make a little bit of a distinction between MS access, the development system that allows you to write code, build forms, and build reports, and that of the database engine that you choose to use with MS access. When you build an application MS access, you then choose your database engine, that might be oracle, SQL server, or perhaps more often leave the default jet database. So when you say make a client access application, are you talking about a piece of software that you plan to install and each computer? The fact that your introducing the issue of java further complicates your question. Perhaps your question is simply you have some java code running on a server, and with to open a mdb file (an access database file). In this situation you're not really using MS access at all here (you using what is called the jet database engine to read that mdb file). For all the trouble in this type of sce...

request for explanation on access an database in ms access
This is the code that I found on the internet for accessing an ms access database: import java.sql.*; class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { try { Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); // set this to a MS Access DB you have on your machine String filename = "d:/java/mdbTEST.mdb"; String database = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ="; database+= filename.trim() + ";DriverID=22;READONLY=true}"; // add on to the end // now we can get the connection from the DriverManager Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection( database ,"",""); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Error: " + e); } } } What I don't understand is the declaration of database. What I did was putting the database in the same dir as the sourcecode and use "jdbc:odbc:CafeJolt.mdb". But this doesn't work. And the above code does, why is that??? Actually it's not Java question. It's ODBC question. You have to have ODBC connection. Depending of Windows it's usually something like this (for my Windows 2000): Start->Sttings->Control Panel->Administartive Tools->Data Sources(ODBC)-> User DSN -> [Add]-> Driver to Microsoft Access(*.mdb) === And here, finally you can choose file name. ...

Importing MS Access data into MS Word
In the thread "combining multiple address fields into 1 address field", Stuart (?) helped solve that problem. I then tried to set up a mail merge in Word to check how I could use and merge the data. I found the database tool bar and opened the appropriate database - but... I could not find a way to open a particular table or query in order to insert the fields from the query into Word. The procedure I followed was this: - open a blank word .doc - from the database tool bar selected "insert database" - a window opened, headed 'Database' and divided into 3 section: at the top a section titled "data source", a middle section titled "data options", a bottom section titled "insert the data into the document" - "under "data source" I clicked "get data" - a window headed 'Select data source' opened - I navigated to the relevant database (mobmem07.mdb) and selected it. - this added the database location to the "data source" part of the 'database' window - I then looked at the "query options" section I found I could not select a table or query from within the database I had opened. Word had merely defaulted to opening one of the two tables in it. The only querying I could do was on the table it had loaded from the functions Word provided. I could not find a way to open any other table let alone a query. Moreover, I couldn't see a wa...

MS Access Script to import data from external mde database to mdb database
Hi, Does anyone know of a way I can write a script that imports a table from a particular .mde file? I don't seen any obvious way to do it as a macro. Any suggestions if it can be done as a macro or as a written module? My ultimate goal is to have script that clears info out of 1 table in an .mdb file, imports an identically structured table from a .mde file, runs an append query I have in place to copy the data from the imported table to the table in my.mbd file, and then delete the imported table. Any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes, George Hadley ghadley_00@yahoo.com With DBEngine(0)(0) .Execute "DELETE * FROM Suppliers WHERE SupplierID IN (SELECT SupplierID FROM Northwind.mde.Suppliers)" .Execute "INSERT INTO Suppliers SELECT * FROM Northwind.mde.Suppliers" End With Is this code I would run as a module? Yes or you could use the strings in two separate saved queries. ...

Best way to access a remote MS ACCESS database
What is the best way, via the internet, to access a remote Microsoft Access database? I was thinking of using VPN, but I thought that I would check here to see if there is a better way. Any suggestions? Thanks Do you mean remotely controlling an Access database, or linking tables over the internet? The first is doable, the second is a recipe for disaster. Remote Control: If your remote OS is Windows XP, you can use Remote Desktop (although only 1 person can access the PC at a time; this will change in the upcoming Service Pack for XP, but that may not help you now). Otherwise, GoToMyPC offers similar services, as does Terminal Server (a component of a Windows Server machine), PCAnywhere, et al. Linking to remote tables: You will almost certainly encounter severe problems with corruption, and your performance will almost certainly be so poor as to be unworkable. I attempted this once, with a web server in Canada and my machine in Augusta, GA. Even tiny data requests on a very well optimized data structure took waaaay too long to process ... it's simply not workable, IMO. Other alternatives would be covert the app to a web-based and place your data on a web server. Access/Jet isn't really designed for those workloads, but running a small site with minimal transactions and users can be done. Otherwsie, consider switching to a more robust data platform like MySQL, SQL Server, etc. -- Scott McDaniel CS Computer Software Visual Bas...

MS Access Database right for us?
Hi -- we are a small manufacturing looking for a multi-user database to take customer orders (nothing too complicated, with 3 users total). We think we should be using Access, but are wondering what alternatives there are. It has been recommended to us to use ASP.net and SQL instead, with the reasoning that: 1) Access is likely to go obsolete at some point 2) It will be more stable Does anybody have any thoughts on this? Allison, Your situation sounds like an ideal task for Access. As for Access being obsolete anytime soon I don't see that happening. Access can handle 3 users no problem. I would recommend that you get the Access database setup by someone with some database experience as a poorly designed database regardless of the application could have problems. The ASP.net and SQL server options would require much more development time and money. Just my two cents...

Use ASP to read MS Access query that calls MS Access function
Hi: I have an MS Access query for a table called MyTable. One of my fields in the query is a custom field that looks like "MyField: = MyFunction(ID)" where ID is a field in MyTable. I have ASP code and I can use it to read the query OK when "MyField" is not part of the query. If I add in MyField and then run my ASP code to try to read all the query fields, I get an error message on my web browser which says something to the effect of "cannot find MyFunction." On the Access side, I have MyFunction set up in a module and use the keyword "Public" in front of the function name. What else do I need to do to get my ASP code to run this query. I'm trying to avoid reproducing MyFunction within the ASP code if possible. Thanks. Kevin On Thu, 14 Jun 2007 21:38:19 -0000, k-man <kmccrack@gmail.com> wrote: Sorry, no can do.

Accessing 2 tables having same name but different databases ms-access
Hi, I have an application with MS-Access as backend and JSP/ tomcat as frontend/webserver. For getting better response time(as access is very slow compared to other RDBMS's), I have split the main DB into two DB's on different disks on my server for better performance.I have kept the table names same but changed the DB names. How do I access tables from both the DB's? This is what I have done; I made different connection to the respective DB's i.e. con and con2. When I want to access data, I am using 2 result sets for retriving data from the tables, but getting no result. Here is my code: rs2_1=stmt2_1.executeQuery("select * from Requests where Status='Released' AND LoginName='"+login+"' order by Req_No"); rs=stmt.executeQuery("select * from Requests where Status='Released' AND LoginName='"+login+"' AND Req_No> 5500 order by Req_No"); So, rs & stmt are for latest records and rs2_1 & stmt2_1 correspond the records from older DB. I think, I'm forgetting some small thing but cant get it. Please advice. What do you mean "no result"? Does "next()" return false for both rs2_1 an= d rs? If you're really trying to improve response time, you should probably be ru= nning the two queries in separate threads ... but as you acknowledge, Acces= s may not have as high performance as other RDBMSs.
