Create MS/ACCESS database app for non-ms/access users
Is it possible to create an MS/ACCESS database application and package
it for users who do not have MS/ACCESS loaded in their PCs?
I was told that this is possible, but I don't know what software is
needed. Do you know? If so, please answer this post. Thanks.

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...
MATLAB command to access MS Access databaseHi!
Is there a MATLAB command which gives access to a .mdb MS Access
database or do I need a special driver?
Thanks,
Andree
Hi Andree Ellert,
you can use activeXcontrol to interact with MS-Access database.
access = actxserver('Access.Application');
returns the handle for Access.
set(access, 'Visible', 1);
will show the opened Access window.
use get(access) and set(access) commands to find the methods
available to call.

request for explanation on access an database in ms accessThis 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.

Accessing MS ACCESS database using Data EnvironmentHI,
I have developped a program in Visual Basic 6.0 using MS Access database.
I have created all my reports through Data Environment where I have
entered the location of my database file (for e.g c:\project\app\test.mdb)
in the Connection properties.
I have installed my application on another PC using Package & Deployment
wizard.
When viewing the reports on the other PC, I have to enter everytime the
new location of the database.
How can I solve this problem, please?

Best way to access a remote MS ACCESS databaseWhat 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.

Accessing a MS Access database across two serversHi
The technical support guys at my company have set up my system so that
the server containing the MS Access database is on one server, while
the pages that should access the database are on another server.
When the pages and database are on the same server, I usually just
connect through ODBC.
The problem is that I don't know how to set up an ODBC connection to
link from one server to a database in another.
Anyone know what I am getting at and know of a possible solution, or a
link to a site which may help.

Updating MS-Access Database queryhello
i need to update my MS-Access database thru matlab.
when using the following code using function "updates" it updates the
database i.e
.......whereClause = 'where month = ''Nov'''.....
Here "Nov" is an entry in the database.
Now when i assign a variable to the months..ie variable name
"MNTH" could contain Jan /Feb etc,.....and i want to pass the
variable "MNTH" ie
.......whereClause = 'where month = ''MNTH'''.....
it DOES NOT update the database and i receive the error

Accessing 2 tables having same name but different databases ms-accessHi,
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. You would also see rel=

Accessing a passworded MS Access 2000 database in Crystal ReportsCan anybody give me some code that I can put in to my VB6 app to open a

I am using a native connection in Crystal ( pdbdao.dll).
My current code is :

MS Access databasesHello,
I have been trying to read a simple MSAccess database and show
the records on screen but no success so far.
I have created a DSN (Data Source Name) in my Win 2k box
and the connection goes ok.
But when I try to return a ResultSet using a simple SELECT statement,
("SELECT * FROM MyTable")
no records appear. Database is Ok. It is a very simple table.
I don't get *any* error message but also no records from it.
Is there anything special I need to do for accessing it?
Does anybody have a simple code for accessing MSAccess databases?
(From DSN creation till sample code)

MS Access databaseA client of mine has another 3rd party program which uses MS Access

They want my to create an additional program which is to read this data.
My problem is that the database has a password on it.
I know there are cracks available at a cost of USD$45.00+.
Does anybody have a free crack to retrieve the database password?
Would this be unethical or be a copyright of reverse engineering violation?
The data is owned by the client so I recon is would be fine to read the
data!

MS-Access, ODBC access with Visual C++ 6.0, and external actions on database[was redirected here] I have a problem that I can distill down to the
following.
1/ A Visual C++ 6.0 program connects to a MS Access database using an
ODBC connection and sleeps for a long time. The connection takes all
defaults and uses CDatabase::useCursorLib in the OpenEx command.
2/ The database is well over 400MB large with over 200 tables and is
