Connecting to an Microsoft Access database

Can I create an HTML page or equivalent from which I can connect to an Access database that is on my computer or a drive connected to the computer WITHOUT having my computer run a server application? I have read the online help and not sure if I can do it and what has to be done.
The goal is to create a Web page that is an interface to an Access database that resides on a shared drive that anyone in the company can map to. I realize that the Web page connects using an ODBC driver, but does the user's computer also need to be running some kind of server application?
If it can be done without a server application, how do I set up the testing server, etc.
Thanks,
Van

No, you will need an application server like ASP, PHP or ColdFusion to display dynamic data from a database.

How Can I connect to a Microsoft Access Database without using LiveCycle?

I have Acrobat Professional X. And I need to read a Microsoft Access Database. I don't have LiveCycle Form. Is there any way that I can connect to my database?

You are in the wrong forum, mate. This is a forum for ColdFusion.

This database was connected to a Microsoft Access Services site that is not compatible with this version of Microsof Access. You cannot make design changes or modify data in database.

Hello All,
I am getting this error while I am connecting my access database website for the change
"This database was connected to a Microsoft Access Services site that is not compatible with this version of Microsof Access. You cannot make design changes or modify data in database."
I am using SharePoint 2010 and Microsoft Office 2010.
I have created one Contact Database Site and now I am trying to modify the layout of the form in Access. and I am getting the error that I have mentioned.
Please provide help on it.
Thanks in Advance....

Hello All,
I got the answer, we have to enable the port 80 or where the access service is deployed and we have to change Trust setting and also, enable the macro from Access.

The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file in Report Builder 3.0

I am trying to build a report in Report Builder 3.0. I created the Data Source to point to my Excel file and the Data Set. I drag a couple of fields on to the canvas and then choose Run. I get the error: "The Microsoft Access
database engine cannot open or write to the file. It is already opened exclusively by another user". I am using the Excel driver. Why am I getting this message? How can I fix this?

No, now I am getting the error message again. It is quite long:
ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file '(unknown)'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.

Is it possible to Install the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 if we are running Microsoft Office 2010 32-bit?

So we are running Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, Version 14.0.7015.1000
(32-bit)
This is what is installed via our Network and Network licensing.
I am trying, in vain, to read and write a .xlsx file via a C# Edit Script in a SSIS Package. And I have tried using...
string StringConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + sourceFile + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\"";
And this tells me that this has not been installed. So when I go and try and get the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 64-bit, which would allow me to use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 and allow me to read, write, and process this .xlsx file, it tells me
I cannot install it because I already have 32-bit installed and it wants me to un-install Microsoft Office 2010. Why? Because it is 32-bit? And I can't do that because this is what we have and what we're licensed for and from what I've read seems to be the
industry standard because most software vendors are ill equipped to process 64-bit right now.
So my question is this...How can I use a C# Edit Script to read and process a .xlsx file? Because if I try using...
string StringConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + sourceFile + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\"";
It then tells me that the file is not in that format.
Please excuse me for asking this question in a couple of different ways out here but I cannot for the life of me seem to be able to get an answer as to how I can process a .xlsx file with a C# script and which driver to use that will make this work.
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Hi ITBobby85,
If the excel version in the Connection Manager is Microsoft Excel 2010 (.xlsx), we should use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB provider.
We can't install 32bit and 64bit parts of office on the same machine. We will get an error as you said when we run the installer to install the 64bit version of the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable in the machine where a 32bit version
of Microsoft Office installed. To fix this issue, please download and install the 32bit version of the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable with the link below:

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:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

I do not have any other program using my access database, and user has full control. I am trying to use in security mode - "For a login not defined in the list above, connections will be made without using a security context", i have also tried all four options.
I am confused becouse it works from SQL server but from any SQL client domain member computer/server it does not work.
I have same problem in another environment where I have Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2 SP2.
Please help.

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]
"LastPurgeTime"=dword:01592874
"DisablePromptOpenNetworkTrustedDocuments"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations]
"AllowNetworkLocations"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\Location0]
"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.

As you can see, i tested accessing a jpeg file: 1.jpg with FileInputStream, and it works perfectly, but when i try to get an image from Microsoft Access using the resultset the way i did, the browser shows the following message
The image �http://localhost:8084/Nedermex/serv� cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
My table in the database in Access is configured as following
FieldName::::::::::::::DataType
ID::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Number
Imagen::::::::::::::::::::OLE Object
Now, when i insert an image in the Imagen field, i select the option "Create from file" and select the jpg file (the one that worked with the FileInputStream) and uncheck the Link option (to save the data in the db
maybe there is something wrong with the sizes or something....
please help me here!!!
thank you!

Yes it is an sql question
Consider this as my condition need to fetch records collected in database on 16-4-2012
Table name =TEST_REPORT
i have passed the following query
Select Serial_Number,System_Date,System_Time,Department,Operator_Name,Serial_Number,Test_Case,Pass_Fail from TEST_REPORT where System_Date = 4-16-2012, it displays the entire record from database. i have my vi along with this mail.

Java visit microsoft access database question

I want to visit microsoft access database,like follows:
String dirverClass="sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"; String url="jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=C:\\apache-tomcat-5.5.27\\webapps\\Test\\db.mdb"; String content=""; try{ Class.forName(dirverClass); Connection conn=DriverManager.getConnection(url); Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(); String sql="select * from mytab"; ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql); while(rs.next()){ content=rs.getString("zd1"); }
My question is whether I must install microsoft access database?
Thanks

Far as I know and have been able to determine a MS Access ODBC driver comes with every windows install going back to about windows 98. Might be 95 as well.
I haven't looked at some of the more exotic ones like the 64 bit versions nor the mobile versions.

How do I open a pdf stored in a Microsoft Access database using Visual Basic studios 2012

Currently I am unable to find a valid method of being able to open a pdf stored in a Microsoft Access database using Visual Basic studios 2012. I've tried displaying the entire database on a form, but when I do this all the other columns show up with
the correct data besides the one containing the pdf's, it just displays <binary data> in each row down the column. I also tried another method with which you use the database as a dataset and can drag and drop the rows and columns into the form, which
again works for all the other columns besides the one containing the pdf's but this time I'm unable to interact with the column at all.
Not too sure if this is in the correct place, but any answers or help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Alex,
This forum is dedicated to Project and Project Server. You might get better response, if you post to a Visual Basic forum. Here are couple I could find.

"RUN-TIME ERROR '3078': The Microsoft Access database engine cannot find the input table or query 'name'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.

When I run the code below I get the following error:"RUN-TIME ERROR '3078': The Microsoft Access database engine cannot find the input table or query 'False'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly. Note that I do not call
anything by the name of "false" anywhere in this code.
The subject code (the underscored line of code is highlighted in the debugger when the error occurs):
Option Compare Database
Private Sub JobAssign_Click()

End Sub
Function MatLotListAvail_openform()
Dim dbsAPIShopManager2010 As DAO.Database
Dim rstMaterialLotJobJoint As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
Set dbsAPIShopManager2010 = CurrentDb
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM MaterialLotJobJoint WHERE JobID" = "tempvars!JobID" And "MatLotID" = "tempvars!MatLotID"
Set rstMaterialLotJobJoint = dbsAPIShopManager2010.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset)
If rstMaterialLotJobJoint.EOF Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "JobAssignMatConf", acNormal, "", "", acEdit, acNormal
Forms!JobAssignMatConf!PartapiIDVH = TempVars!PartapiID
Forms!JobAssignMatConf!JobapiIDVH = TempVars!JobapiID
Forms!JobAssignMatConf!JobIDVH = TempVars!JobID
Forms!JobAssignMatConf!MaterialLotIDVH = TempVars!MatLotID
Forms!JobAssignMatConf!Desc = TempVars!MatDesc
Forms!JobAssignMatConf!recdate = TempVars!recdate
DoCmd.Close acForm, "MaterialLotListAvailable"
Else: MsgBox "This material lot has already been assigned to this job."
DoCmd.Close acForm, "MaterialLotListAvailable"
End If
End Function

I think the SQL statement should be
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM MaterialLotJobJoint WHERE JobID=" & _
tempvars!JobID & " AND MatLotID=" & tempvars!MatLotID
This assumes thatJobID and MatLotID are number fields.

Microsoft access database

Hello All,
How can i talk to a microsoft access database from java without being on a windows machine?
Thanks

You don't want to.
MSAccess is not running as a server on the win machine: the machine might not be up all the time....
Anyway you would need to have the right url / system dsn in the jdbcodbc driver. I do not know if the driver supports the javax.sql.DataSource ....
So there is enough against you right from the start.
Can you upsize your MSAccess to MSSQL on a win server ? (or any other DB on a server with the right driver from your target?... could be MYSQL)
Enjoy

Database connectivity toolset and microsoft access

Bonjour,
je suis débutante labview et j'aurais besoin d'aide...
voici mon pb:
j'ai créé une table sous microsoft access et j'aimerais lire les données à partir de labview en utilisant "database connectivity toolset". les vi utilisés sontpen connection, select data et close connection.
le vi "open connection" demande le 'connection information': j'ai donc donné le chemin ou se trouve mon fichier .udl
ce fichier udl est configuré comme cela:
fournisseur: microsoft jet et connexion: le chemin ou se trouve le fichier access.
mais ca ne marche pas! j'ai une erreur apres le vi select data, qui me dit 'erreur syntax'
je ne sais pas si j'utilise les bons vi....
merci pour une réponse rapide.

Bonjour,
Tout d'abord, vous devez vérifiez si la création du fichier UDL est correcte. Ci-dessous une note d'application décrivant étape par étape cette procédure:
* Creating a Microsoft Data Link file (.UDL) for Connecting to Microsoft Access in LabVIEW
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/1D5EB4DCBD13106486256B9D005E11B0?OpenDocument
Ensuite, testez l'exemple standard "Connection example.vi" fourni avec le toolkit Database Connectivity.
Dans LabVIEW, allez dans le Menu Aide >> Recherche d'exemples ... puis sélectionnez Toolkits & Modules >> Connection aux bases de données >> Connection example.
Si la connection échoue, l'exemple doit renvoyer une erreur avec un code et un descriptif. Ces informations sont indispensables pour débuter un débuggage (l
es codes d'erreurs classiques sont référencés sur le web et des notes d'applications sont fournies pour les corriger).

How to connect with Microsoft Access Database with JAVA

I want to know the command and query to connect between MSAccess and JDBC.
Is it beter way to make connection with MSAccess comparing with other Databases such as SQL and Oracle.
Which Database will be the best with Java?
I also want to know to be platform indepadent which database is suitable?

On Windows, you can use MS Access database by:
Set up a System Data Source using the ODBC control panel applet.
Use the jdbc:odbc bridge JDBC driver, and specify a jdbc url that points to the data source name you just specified.
It's been too long since I've done this, so I don't remember the syntax of the jdbc url, but I'm sure that if you do a search for the jdbc:odbc bridge that you will find what you are looking for.
As far as the question about which database is best, you will need to determine that based on your project requirements.
If you want a quick and dirty, open source, cross-platform database, take a look at HyperSonic SQL.
