I cant view my microsoft access files in MBP

I don't think you can. There is no version of Access for the Mac. Your choices are to 1) run Windows on your Mac with either parallels or bootcamp or 2) use a database program for Mac (Filemaker strongly recommended - works on Mac and PC).
If you choose Filemaker you can directly import Excel files which I think you export from Access. You can drag your Excel file onto your Filemaker icon and if you have Excel column headers it will automatically create and populate a db table for you. Filemaker is a serious high functionality db and is easy to use.
You can download a free 30 day trial - give it a go.

    How can I open an encryted Microsoft access file on an iMac?

    As Office for Mac doesn't include Access, I'm not at all sure you can.
    You could try Open Office, NeoOffice or Libre Office (all free, open source) and see if their database applications can do it.

  • Open a Microsoft Access file using LV

    Hi, 
        When my VI finishes executing I would like it to Open up a Microsoft Access file and delete an Excel Table.  I have gotten it to delete the Excel Table, however, it will not open the Access file.  I have tried using Open File and I have tried open/create/replace, but they are not working.  I am almost positive I am putting the directory and file extentsion right as well.  I am using LV 6.1.  
    Thanks 

    I have recently added data-basing using labview and access.  I am using labview 7.0 and the DB toolkit.  I have no problem connecting to access using the jet 4.0 engine, where I can read modify and edit access data.  What are you trying to delete? a table, remove entries or delete the entire file itself.  There are two ways to connect to access, using an activeX control or through ODBC.  I have never used activeX for access but have used it for excel, this was not too difficult but there is a lot of methods and properties to wade through to get things working.  I might be able to help you, but will need a little more info on what you need to do with access.  Using the DB toolkit and ODBC, you will not need access on the machine to use the database, which is a nice option if you plan on distributing the application.  I am a DB novice but have been learning fast, I think Mike Porter knows alot about labview and database connectivity, hopefuly he will help out here.

  • How to browse, view, open Microsoft Office files in Contribute CS4

    To browse or view Microsoft Office files (not Office 2007)in Contribute CS4: (I won't say how long it took me to figure this out!)
    Make sure Contribute is closed.
    Open C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Contribute CS4\Configuration\ViewableExtTypes.txt
    Add doc,xls,ppt to the list, save & close ViewableExtTypes.txt and restart Contribute/
    It doesn't work for Office 2007 file extensions.

  • Login codes using java database (validates with Microsoft Access File)

    hi all pro-programmer, can you show me the code to login with the username and password using java database. When the user enters the username and password in the login page then it will go to the requested page. may i know how to do it?

    no one will give you complete code.
    i'll lay out the pieces for you, though:
    (1) start with a User object. give it username and password attributes.
    (2) write a UserDAO interface with CRUD operations for a User object.
    (3) write a UserDAOImpl for your Microsoft Access database
    (4) write an AuthenticationService interface
    (5) write an implementation of the AuthenicationService that works with the UserDAO to authorize a User.
    Use a servlet to accept request from your login page and pass it off to the service. Voila.
    PS - Here's skeleton to start with. UI, servlet, and controller are your responsibility:
    package model;
    public class User implements Serializable
        private String username;
        private String password;
        public User(String u, String p)
            this.username = u;
            this.password = p;
        public String getUsername() { return username; }
        public String getPassword() { return password; }
    public interface UserDAO
        public User findByUsername(String username);
        public void saveOrUpdate(User user);
        public void delete(User user);
    public class UserDAOImpl implements UserDAO
        private Connection connection;
        public UserDAOImpl(Connection connection)
            this.connection = connection;
        public User findByUsername(String username)
            String password = "";
            // logic for querying the database for a User
            return new User(username, password);
        public void saveOrUpdate(User user)
            // save or update a User
        public void delete(User user)
            // delete a User
    public interface AuthenticationService
        public boolean isAuthorized(String username);
    public class AuthenticationServiceImpl implements AuthenticationService
        private UserDAO userDAO;
        public AuthenticationServiceImpl()
            // Create a database connection here and the UserDAO, too.
        public boolean isAuthorized(String username)
            boolean isAuthorized = false;
            // Add logic to do the database query and decide if the username is authorized
            return isAuthorized;       
    }

  • Can windows access files be viewed on a mac

    Hi
    Can a Microsoft access file created on a windows pc be opened with a macbook pro, if not what can be done to copy the data across to a mac os x 10.6.2 system
    Thanks
    Frank

    Asking about an Access feature in a forum dedicated to Numbers '09 isn't the more efficient way to get a responce.
    It would be better to ask on an Access dedicated forum or to look in Access to which formats it is able to export the datas. Maybe one of them is recognised by an application available in AppleLand.
    4th dimension is able to import :
    Vous pouvez importer des données à partir de fichiers au format XML,
    4e Dimension, SYLK, DIFF, DBF, Texte ou Texte longueur fixe.
    FileMaker is able to import
    Alas, I have no infos about formats to which Access is able to export.

  • Data Migration from Microsoft Access to Oracle 9i

    Dear All
    This is my first request in your forum,My problem is that I have installed SQL developer but unable to migrate my MDB (Microsoft access file) into Oracle 9i,I have done the following activities in order to migrate data.
    open sql developer
    under migration,click quick migration
    quick migration wizard diaglog box appear,click new,
    in the oracle tab, input the following information
    input connection name 'zuhair',give user name and password (sys/s),check save password option,give role "sysdba" ,give connection type "basic",didnt check any any check box like os authorization and others,give host name 'zkhan-dfml',port '1521',sid 'dba' and then push the test button and then status show "success"

    I have tried to create odbc link but i think i have done some thing wrong,kindly help
    Regards
    Zuhair

    Hi Zuhair,
    If you give details of the problems you are still having then we should be able to get SQL*Developer to work.
    However, if you don't want to use SQL*Developer then the following options are taken from note 393760.1 available in Metalink if you have access to that -
    1. Use a gateway that supports the non-Oracle database or generic connectivity if a third party ODBC driver is available to do a -
    'create Oracle_table as select from non_oracle_table@database_link'
    for each table. You would then have to manually create all the other objects (views, indexes, stored procedurs etc) and permissions etc that existed in the non-Oracle database.
    2. Use the SQL*Plus COPY command to copy data from the non-Oracle database to the
    Oracle database using a gateway or generic connectivity. The syntax is as follows:
    COPY FROM username/password@oracle_sid -
    INSERT destination_oracle_table -
    USING query;
    The following example selects all rows from the EMP table in the non-Oracle database and
    inserts them into the local Oracle EMP table:
    COPY FROM SCOTT/TIGER@ora10 -
    INSERT EMP -
    USING SELECT * FROM SCOTT.EMP@gateway;
    where "gateway" is the database link created for the gateway.
    3. Load the non-Oracle data into flat files and use SQL*Loader to put the data into Oracle tables. Again manual
    work is required for the other objects.
    4. Contact the Oracle Product Technology Services (PTS) group for assistance. See the webpage -
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
    5. Use a third party migration tool. See -
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/isv/third_party.html
    6. Use JDBC to connect to the non-Oracle database and Java in the Oracle database. This method will work but it is not suppported by the JDBC team.
    =========
    The amount of work involved will depend on the number and size of Access tables that you want to migrate.
    Regards,
    Mike

  • Launching Microsoft Access from Internet Explorer to view a downloaded MDB file opens the wrong file (not a problem if I use Firefox)

    When clicking on a link (in Internet Explorer 9) to download an Access MDB file and then choosing to open the file directly in Microsoft Access (2007) instead of saving it, the file is copied to Temporary Internet Files but Microsoft Access tries to open
    a different file and displays an (Unrecognized database format) error.
    When I click on the option to open the file, the MDB file is copied to Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 but instead of that file, Access tries to open a different (incorrect) file located in Temporary Internet Files\Content.MSO (e.g. in the above error
    message, NativeView.do is an XML file containing an error message).
    I don't see this problem with Word, Excel or PowerPoint files. When opening a Word file (without saving) the Word file is copied to Content.IE5 but an identical .tmp file is created in Content.MSO which when opened in Microsoft Word displayed the required file
    correctly. The same happens for Excel files. PowerPoint appears to be handled a little differently (no .tmp file created in Content.MSO but the required file is still copied to Content.IE5) but the PPT file is still opened correctly in Microsoft PowerPoint.
    I think the Content-Type "application/msaccess" is fine because Internet Explorer does launch Microsoft Access. It just tries to open the wrong file (or so I think). However, it looks like the file type is not being determined. Here is what I noticed
    when trying to open different Microsoft Office files using Internet Explorer:
    The last one is the MDB file. As you can see, only for this type of file, the "Type" (Microsoft Office Access 2007?) is not displayed in this Open/Save dialog box.
    On Firefox, I don't see this problem. When I tried clicking on the link to the MDB file in Firefox, Microsoft Access was launched and the file was opened correctly. Is there something I can do so the MDB file is opened properly using IE? I can add/change headers
    in the HTTP response that writes this file to the output stream (on disk) if that helps.
    Thanks for your time!

    Sounds like a problem symptom to be discussed in either an IE forum or an Access forum, not here.  How did you come to post here?  ForumsRedesign.  That might be an on-topic issue for this forum.  <eg>
    Can you find your way to either of those other forums easily from here?  Another on-topic question for here I think.   ; )

    Oops, my bad. Thanks for letting me know! :)

  • The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file \\fileserver\db\access.mdb

    Hi,
    I have Windows Server 2012 with SQL 2012 Standard SP1. I am using linked server, and Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable to access my database file made in Microsoft Access (.mdb) from network file server.
    EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'MyLinkedServer', @srvproduct=N'MyLinkedServer', @provider=N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', @datasrc=N'\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\files\mydatabase.mdb'
    My SQL service is running with domain service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$ , i have added Full control for file share and NTFS permission on my file server folder (C:\Files).
    When I open (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my DB server SQL Management studio, I can browse tables and everything works.
    The problem is, if I open SQL management studio (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my File server or any other computer, when trying to browse my linked server i got error:

    NTFS must be fine since it works from same server using same accounts.
    As I understand, adding my access file to Access trusted location could be a problem. I have tried now to add my access database file location to trusted locations for user which is my SQL service user (Windows Service - AD managed service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$)
    and my test user which I use to connect to sql server as a client from sql management studio. (Account is Domain Admins and have full permissions on SQL server also)
    I have added this .reg:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security]
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Documents]

    "Description"="My file server"
    "AllowSubFolders"=dword:00000001
    "Path"="\\\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\\files\\"
    I have done this for SQL service account user and my personal test account as I said. I have tried to logoff and restart sql service and all servers also.
    The same problem still persists.
    Anyway, thank you for giving me a hint.

  • Can't view Microsoft Access data

    Hello,
    I am trying to use a Microsoft Access database (97) as a data source for my repository. I can import it in the Administration Tool and see all the tables. When I finish my repository the global consistency is without errors.
    Then I go to the Answers and make a table, here I see the repository but when I try to view the results it returns only values from the other data source.
    I am using OBIEE 10.1.3.3.2
    Anyone got a suggestion?
    Rgds,
    Dennis de Kock

    I cannot see data at column level either.
    Perhaps there still is a (logical) problem in your logical model.
    I suggest to quickly create a new business model, just for testing. Drag and drop 1 table from your access source twice to the business model. Create a complex join between table and table#. Put an aggregate on one number field in table#. Drag/drop business model to presentation layer.
    Have a look if you now have data from this table in Answers.
