Microsoft Access Text Driver missing! and ...Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)".

In order to use OpenRowSet, I installded Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010. However, I could not find Microsoft Access Text Driver in Drivers of ODBC Data Source Administrator. Could I get some help with that?
Thank you very much!

Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracl

I have created a linked server in a SQL Server 2005 connecting to either an Oracle Database and a SQL Server 6.5 database and getting the following error for both links when trying to query using provider OraOLEDB.Oracle, please help.
OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "finprod3" returned message "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "finprod3".

What version of Oracle client software are you using? 32 bit or 64 bit? Is the OS 32 bit or 64 bit?
12154 generally means the client can't figure out what TNSNames.ora entry you're referring to, which is the part you passed as "data source" in the oledb connection. Did you configure the client? Does SQLPlus connect without issue?
There's also a known issue where running 32 bit client software on a 64 bit OS can result in that error in some versions, due to parenthesis in the path of the executable - 32 bit apps go in Program Files (x86) on a 64 bit OS. Applying the latest patch level to the client software will resolve that issue.

Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "database name".

I have an application which has linked servers to mdb databases on Sql Server. Development machines which have access to full version of Office can intialise the data source as expected, however, machines using the Office 2010 runtime throw the above exception.
Have checked the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.ACE.OleDb.12.0\CLSID which has value {3BE7860-0366-4F5C-9434-25CF162E475E} as expected, however that CLSID cannot be found in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID on the machines using the runtime.
How can I ensure PCs using the 2010 runtime can access the linked server(s).

To add a login, execute this procedure:
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin

Custom File Extension for Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)

I'm trying to use a custom file extension for the Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv) driver.
I have updated the FileExtns registry to have my new extension.
When I issue the following it does not work.
select [NoName]
from openrowset('MSDASQL'
           ,'Driver={Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)};
                DefaultDir=c:\filedir'
           ,'select * from "file.lst"')
If I make the file a .csv it works fine. However, if it has an extension of not CSV or TXT (in this case .lst, which is in the registry setting) extension it throws the following error and cannot seem to find a solution to it.
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Text Driver] Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.". Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot get the column information from
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)".
In addition, (although I can probably find this elsewhere), I need to have the first line 'BLANK' so that it does not miss data (there is no header row). Is there a way to use OPENROWSET without BULK to basically include all rows as data?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
According to your description, I did a test with your script, and got the same message as your post. Usually, by default, the Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv) supports the four extensions file, such as *.asc, *.csv, *.tab, *.txt. To solve this issue,
I recommend you try to save the LST file in the above format, then use OPENROESET to get data from the supported extensions file in SQL Server.
In addition, the
OPENROWSET function is mainly used to retrieve remote data from an OLEDB data source, when you use OPENROWSET without BULK, provider_name is a necessary parameter in the script. However, the OPENROWSET (BULK...) is mainly called from a SELECT…FROM clause
within an INSERT statement, when importing bulk data from a data file into SQL Server table. Thus if you need to import bulk data, you should use the basic syntax: INSERT ... SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK...), also there are some alternatives, such as
BULK INSERT
and
BCP .
Thanks

Hello,
When you insert data from SQL Server into a linked server, then a distributed transaction should be started and here it seems this fails.

Programatically change username and password if the data source

Hi all,
I searched but could not find the answer for how to programamtically change the username /password of the datasource created by the Servers tab under JSC2.
My database is Oracle and I use the logins to specify the security policy. So I would like to be able to use the username/password when the user logs in and use these info to make the connection to the database server instead of the ones I provide when creating the data source.
Thanks for your advice,
DT

The username/password can be set for the datasource via the CachedRowSet created for the datasource.
For example if you drop the sample Travel->person table on the visual designer a "personDataProvider" is created. Here's the code to set the username/password.
personDataProvider.getCachedRowset().setUsername("me");
personDataProvider.getCachedRowset().setPassword("mypassword");-David

Access ODBC Driver not appearing in Create New Data Source List

When I run C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe the Access driver is not showing up as an option. I'm running Windows 7 professional and Access 2013. I'm guessing the driver is on my machine and is either not registered or the registry
has the wrong location. I have looked under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>ODBC>ODBCINST.INI and see no references to an Access driver in any subfolders.
I think I need the name of the driver .dll and where it needs to be registered to fix the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
According to your description, after you run C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe, Access driver is not displayed when you expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>ODBC>ODBCINST.INI node.
The issue is caused by wrong path of odbccad32, please make sure that you are using Administrator account or you have administrative privileges, then refer to the following steps:
Go to Control Panel.
Click Administrative Tools.
Right-click Data Sources(ODBC) to open Properties dialog box.
In Target text box, type %windir%\syswow64\odbcad32.exe
In Start in text box, type %windir%\syswow64, then click OK to save the settings.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)"

Windows Server 2008
SQL Express 2012
Tried opening a .csv and a .xls file, without success. File is located on the local server and not somewhere else.
I know, I know, the forums are full of this error message. But sometimes when you follow all of the rules, stuff still happens, or in this case Doesn't happen.
I installed the proper ACE drivers (64 bit) and reconfigured SQL Server to allow Ad Hoc Queries. Hell I even rebooted the server after the install.
I have successfully installed these drivers on several machines (work stations and servers), and all have worked just fine. So, I am at a loss as to why it won't work on this system. I might have forgotten some obscure setting, but I don't think so.

Replication and logshipping on same data source object

TWO QUESTIONS:
Question1:
I have a database "dbABC" on SERVER1 that is log shipped to REPORTSERVER and is recovered Standby, Read Only.
I also need to replicate a subset of same data "dbABC" to a different SERVER2.
When I add the publication to SERVER1, is appears on REPORTSERVER and flags the logshipped "dbABC" (readonly) as a published database and displays articles and subscriptions on REPORTSERVER.
Is there a way NOT to push the replication to the Report Server, since it is read only?
Question2:
Also, when changing ownership of "dbABC", will the ownership also log ship to the Read Only copy on REPORTSERVER and syncronize ownership between SERVER1 and REPORTSERVER?
Janine

It is meta data which travels with the backup and log shipped tlogs.
Unless you do your final restore with the keep_replication switch this metadata will disappear when you do your final restore and run the recovery on your database.

I think your problem solve.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
What do you mean by having no access to those apps? Can you start up your Mac and work with it, and only some OS X apps do not work?
Anyway, what you can try is to reinstall OS X. To do this, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up and reinstall OS X. You will not lose any file.
