Access 2013 - Unable to link or import DBF files

2013 does NOT recognize DBF files, we are trying to find a solid work around to link to our DBF files. there are about 30 DBF files that get updated EVERY week. And there are about 60 employees that link to various DBF files.
Does anyone know if a driver or some sort or some sort of solution for this? Any guidance is appreciated. thank you.

Thanks so much for the information.
The DBF files I am using are from Shapefiles that are being used in our mapping software, ArcMap, and are coming from vendors and constantly being updated. Therefore, the need to import to Access nightly and use the data in the dbf files for other
VBA routines. Another problem is that the mapping software can only link to .mdb files, and .mdb files only import .xls data. Even though Excel 2013 does not support importing dbf files using VBA, I could still open and save
a dbf file as a .xls file using VBA as shown below:
For i = 1 To 3
'Open First DBF file and Save
Workbooks.Open "H:\Dbf_Files\Dbf_File" & i & ".dbf"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "H:\Dbf_Files\Dbf_File" & i & ".xls"
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Next I
I found methods on another website to create .vbs and .bat files to run this as a nightly Scheduled Task. After I create the .xls files, another Scheduled Task imports them to Access. I can provide more details if anyone needs them.

Unable to link media to MTS files in Premiere CS6 after updating to 10.8.3

I am now unable to link media(MTS files) in Premiere pro CS6 after updating to 10.8.3. Instead of the folder where the MTS files where there is now "AVCHD" with the quicktime symbol. When I control click, it just offers me with the quick look option. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

How to import .dbf file data in oracle 9i table?

I have tele.dbf file. I want to import it into oracle 9i. Is there any tool to import this dbf into oracle with structure.
thanks.
Rahul

Problem is not clear!, What is this .dbf file is ?
Was that a part of the database before and if so then which is the tablespace its associated with ?( if its part of database and exported the metadata then go through the Bhupinder's suggn.)
or
You have binary or text data within it. ?
or
You mean its some external file like .doc or .xls and u want load that into Bfile or blob column of a table...?
Simply just having extention as .dbf oracle will not accept it by anymeans..
cheers

Can you link an imported psd file in Illustrator CS4 instead of embedding?

Seems that in CS4 the default is to embed a psd file. I have been unable to find a way to link if I want to. CS3 seems to default to linking which I prefer.

In Illustrator
File > Place
select your file but don't hit OK
at the bottom of the window you will see 3 options:
"Link"
"Template"
"Replace"
check link and hit Ok.

Any Mac software for opening DBF files?

I have a mac that is not running Windows.
I would like to at least view the contents of a dbf file. I have tried without success to find (google) such a program.
Is there anything out there that will help me?
Thanks.

Try V.K.'s suggestion first - NeoOffice is free and though its database section is extremely clunky you might be able to get it to work with your file.
Apple's now unsupported office program AppleWorks can import DBF files: Apple no longer sell it but you might be able to find a copy; ask for advice in the AppleWorks Forum - you might even be able to find someone who will convert it for you if you ask nicely. (You would still have to open it yourself, so you would need to ask them to export it as text).
FileMaker Pro can import XML and ODBC files but I can't see any evidence that it will import DBF files - you would need to contact their Support on this.
You only other option would be to try to find someone with Windows and a suitable program who can open the file and convert it to text, either tab or comma delimited, and then open that in (for example) Bento which is art least cheap, or NeoOffice.

Can't Find ODBC drivers to link MS Access 2013 and MySQL

Can't Find ODBC drivers to link MS Access 2013 and MySQL.
Is one available?
Thanks,
Larry

Could to associate the problem at Office 2013?
I just installed the ODBC Driver; The data source machine was available; When selected I had received the message. When it was selected I had received the message:
"ODBC -- falha na chamada.
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] O DSN especificado contém uma incompatibilidade de arquiteturas entre o Driver e o Aplicativo (#0)"
In english, could to say: "ODBC -- fail on call.
... The specified DSN contains a architectural incompatibility between Driver and App (#0)"
I don't know yet the reason for this. Anyone knows?

Import MS Access 2013 tables into SQL Server 2012

Hi there,
Is there a step by step example somewhere showing how to import an MS Access 2013 table into SQL Server 2012?
I have read the existing posts and don't see a definitive answer.
I have installed MS Access 2010 engine, first 32 bit then 64 bit.
I have installed the MS Access 2013 runtime on my server.
I use the Office 2015 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider.
I get the error:
Error 0xc0202009: Source - APEntries [1]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37.
Error 0xc02020e8: Source - APEntries [1]: Opening a rowset for "`TableName`" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.
The post regarding the above errors doesn't resolve the issue.
I have full administrative permissions on the server.
What is the trick to making this work?
Thanks,
Ric

Hi there,
I tried the exact same operation on a third machine.
This machine has Windows 8.1 64 bit, SQL Server 2012 64 bit, MS Office 2013 Plus 32 bit.
I am the administrator on this machine.
I installed this:
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable 32 bit (because I have MS Office 2013 plus 32 bit installed.)
From here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255
It won't let me install the 64 bit version without uninstalling MS Office 32 bit.
I created an MS Access database on this machine using MS Access 2013 and created a table with 3 records.
I used the "Import and Export Data (32 bit)" from the start menu.
After I installed the "Database Engine 2010 32 bit" driver above, I now have the option of "Office 2015 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider" as Data Source which I did not have prior to doing this installation.
I selected the driver and added the Properties of the Data Source Name file location of the MS Access file. I am using a blank password.
I go thru the same sequence of selecting a table to import and after running the result is the same:
Error 0xc0202009: Source - APEntries [1]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37.
"Error 0xc02020e8: Source - APEntries [1]: Opening a rowset for "`TableName`" failed. Check that the object exists in the database."
This seems to be consistent across three machines with three operating systems with the same files and the same result.
I understand that some people have gotten this to work.
I would appreciate it if anyone can report an error in the above procedure to me.
Thanks,
Ric

Unable to access objects in my own schema -- imported from SQL Server

Hi All,
I have imported some tables from MS SQL SERVER 2005 to Oracle 9i (9.2.0.1.0) on Windows machine.
When I fire the query like "SELECT * FROM TAB", I can see the list of all those tables that I have imported, but the problem is that if I try to fetch the data from a specific table, the error is shown as "TABLE OR VIEW DOES NOT EXISTS".
Can you please suggest me some work around to get the data from the tables?
Thanks in advance

InfoPath 2013 customized forms no longer working after linking Sharepoint 2010 list to MS Access 2013 database

Hello,
I am having trouble with my infopath form now that I have linked my Sharepoint list to an Access database.
Background: I created a simple SharePoint list and a few workflows to have users submit requests for changes to my organization's EMR system and have those requests be approved by the appropriate manager/department. I used
InfoPath to customize my form so that it would hide/show different portions depending on what the user selected. The form has 3 views: NewItem, EditItem, ViewItem.
Issue: The form and workflows were working great until I linked my SharePoint list to an access database so that I could run queries and reports using that information. Now when I click "Add New Item" on my Sharepoint site,
the correct form opens but the fields do not allow me to input any data and some of the formatting for the form has changed (ie: the text boxe fields are no longer centered. I opened the form in InfoPath and it displays perfectly fine in there but
not once it's published to the site) .
The only way that I've been able to input new data is using Datasheet view in SharePoint.
Is there a way to fix this issue? I really need to be able to have the customized forms for users to fill out the information since most users are not familiar enough with SharePoint to expect them to be able to use Datasheet view to submit their requests.
Again, I'm using InfoPath 2013, Access 2013 & SharePoint Server 2010
If the issue cannot be fixed, how can I disconnect or unlink my SharePoint list from the Access database because when I cliecked on "delete list" from inside Access, a warning popped up stating that it will also delete the list off of SharePoint
as well. If I can get the list back to the state it was in before linking to Access then I'll be happy enough to export it excel and then importh the excel file to Access as a work around for reporting purposes since I don't have to run the reports that
often.
Any insight would be very helpful!!

Hi Bostic,
I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, however the InfoPath form was not affected if I used the list as external data in Access database.
The issue may be due to the browser you used.
I recommend to verify the things below:
Change another browser to see how it works.
Add the site to the trusted zone and add to compatibility settings in Internet Explorer.
Test with a new list to narrow down the issue scope.
As a workaround, you can save the list as a template including content, and then create a new list based on this template.

Linking a document library to a Sharepoint/Access 2013 App

I am not a developer but I am playing with building an app within SharePoint 2013. I am an office 365 subscriber. I am attempting to build an app that would act as a simplified CRM for SharePoint. I would like to add attachments like emails
and pdfs to the records I create and it appears the attachment feature is not available within the app environment. I also can't figure out how to link a document library and it's records to an app as I thought this might be a work around. So here
are my two questions:
Is there a way to add attachments directly into a sharepoint/access web app within sharepoint?
If not is there a way to connect a document library to the sharepoint access web app as a work around?
If you have any other ideas they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Ben

I know this is a year late, but for anyone still searching for this, I found a solution that works well for me:
1. Create the table in the Access Web App that you wish to attach files to.
2. Use Sharepoint Business Connectivity Services to read the data in the background database for your Access Web App.
3. Create a document library in Sharepoint, adding an external data column type, using the content type you created in Business Connectivity Services.
You can now specify an access web app table row from within your document library in sharepoint.
4. In Access, link a table to the sharepoint document library.
5. Edit the default created datasheet from your linked table, to include the fields you wish to display. Include the field that is used for your field name in the document library - it has a hyperlink included in it.
6. In the view form for your original table (step 1), add a subview, specifying the datasheet from step 5 and linking by the field id that should now be shared between your original table and the linked sharepoint document library.
You can now see the files attached to the table item, including a hyperlink in the file field.
7. Add a hyperlink to your view form to the upload.aspx in the document library.
8. For added ease, you can pass the row id of your original table to the external content id of the document library within the url. This takes added javascript work on editform, but it makes it so that the user does not need to select the external
data. You can even hide the field if you wish, but I kept it visible so that I can edit within the library.
A true step by step would take a lot more time. If you're familiar with these subparts, this should make sense to you. I hope.

Unable to open connection to MS Access 2013 .accdb file Under WCF Web Service Project Using Windows 8.1 64bit

I am encountering the following error when trying to connect to an Access 2013 database:
The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
I have Visual Studio 2013 SP3 running on Windows 8.1 64bit OS which also has Office 2013 installed (which includes MS Access 2013). My project is a WCF web service using .NET Framework 4.5.1 using any cpu as target. I have tried reluctantly
to install the older drivers as described by in the below article:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1d5c04c7-157f-4955-a14b-41d912d50a64/how-to-fix-error-the-microsoftaceoledb120-provider-is-not-registered-on-the-local-machine?forum=vstsdb
and also went through the "Add Data Source" wizard in the Project menu to have the connect string automatically built. Even with the automatically built connect string I can not connect to the .accdb file from within my WCF web service.
What's odd is if I use the Database Explorer in Visual Studio it has no problem connecting the my Access file. I inspected the connect string and tried to use it as well but still get the same error. Even stranger is that I have no problem connecting
to the Access DB in an ASP.NET project on the same PC. I am also able to connect to the Access file using a simple Windows Forms application. So I'm wondering if it has something to do with trying to connect to the Access file from a WCF web service
project.
What I'd like to know is if anyone has been able to get this to work in an environment as I described above as a 64bit WCF web service project? I tried to switch my project to 32bit but when I do I get a different error which reads:
System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:
Almost to the point of trying to get this web service project done with SQL Express but would like to know if it can be done with MS Access 2013. Any information anyone can provide to help me get past this issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have you installed the 64-bit Access driver on your machine? See
Data Source Names and 64-Bit Operating Systems for the differences in odbcad32. Call %SystemRoot%\system32\odbcad32.exe to check the drivers.
How do you host your service? Stand-alone or IIS or embedded to another application? Keep in mind that IIS7 runs it in its application pool which is defaullt 64bit. Thus the bad image exception, when compiling your service as 32bit.
When you need the Access database for your service to store informtation, then I would switch to SQL Server (Express) or XML files depending on your actual needs.
Also check whether your account under which your service is run has the necessary NTFS file permissions on the access file and the folder. This is getting even more complex when it's a remote folder.

Access 2013 Installation - Cannot continue unable to download a required file

We have working installations of office 2013 - Home and Business on two machines and we are trying to install Access 2013.
Both machines are running Windows 8.1
We have purchased 2 standalone physical media of Access 2013 to install on the machines.
We place the disks in the drive and get a small indicator that the disk are being read and then nothing.
We tried running \office\setup32.exe -v (we have 32bit office version already installed) and get message saying. "we're sorry, we can't continue because we weren't able to download a required file. "
We are connected to internet and i have tried disabling the firewall and antivirus but get nowhere. I do not wish to uninstall office unless i absolutely have to. Any suggestions please.

Are these machines on a domain?
It my be possible that your WSUS does not have the files available. If so add those files to the update library or remove the machines from the domain, install and then re-add to domain
*which is not recommended but is a possible solution if nothing else is available

SharePoint 2013 - Site Settings - Users and permissions - "Access Request and invitations" link missing

I am site collection administrator and have configured the outgoing email in Central administration but "Access Request and invitations" link is missing, pl advice any additional configurations for this link to show up
I was though able to configure access requests by going to Site Settings->Users and permission and on the ribbon selected "Access Request Settings"
What is the difference in either of the approaches?
Thanks
Abhishek

Hi there,
I noticed this post, and didnt really find an appropriate solution to your issue. I noticed the same issue when dealing with Access Requests. First of all to make sure that the Request feature is enabled, you need to access
Site Settings -> Site Permissions -> Access Request Settings -> Make sure the
'Allow access requests' option is enabled.
The Allow access screen just allows you to enable the feature and also to specify a email address that notifications are sent to. Whereas the 'Access Requests and Invitations' section provides a screen to manage Access Requests and request history.
I noticed then that the Access Requests and Invitations link under 'User and Permissions' didnt actually appear until someone actually requests to join the site. It seems that this is needed to display the screen. Once actioned once, the option stays there.
Hope it helps
