How to share and Access DB (.accdb) with global tables that link to SQL Server tables without having to define ODBC connections on each client PC?

I have an Access DB with quite a few Linked Tables that point to a SQL Server backend db.  Currently I am using an ODBC connection defined on my pc, but I want other users to be able to download the .accdb file from a share and run.  Will I have
to define this odbc connection on each client's pc?  Is there a better way to do this without having to have each client manually set this up on their PC?

Hi Jason,
I think you can automate that process. In each application I use a one-record-table in the FE with a field Connected. Connected is default False.
Starting a database in the development mode ignores this flag. Starting a database in production mode starts, if Not Connected, a procedure to RefreshLink the tables to the BE, and makes Connected = TRUE, so a next startup does not
result in a new RefreshLink.
Instead of a Boolean you could also use a string containing the path, or whatever you want.

  • How to load a comma seprated text file which contain address in to sql server table using ssis package

    Hi,
    I want to load a file which is comma separated and contain address .Problem is that address its self comma seprated so how do I differenciate whether comma used for column seprator or it used in address.
    for eg.
    One person having address like
    "c/o AB corp,156 cross lane,USA"
    Thanks.....

    Hi SR_MCTS,
    Based on your description, you want to distinguish a comma is used for column separator or used in address column in a text file, then load the data from the text file to SQL Server table.
    As per my understanding, if you can replace the comma column separator to another delimiter like semicolon (;), just do it. Then we can select Semicolon {;} as Column delimiter for the Flat File Connection Manager. Or ensure all columns are enclosed in double
    quotes ("). Then we can set the double quotes (") as Text qualifier for the Flat File Connection Manager, and the commas will be loaded as part of the string fields.
    If you can't have that done, because computers don't know the context of the data, you would have to come up with some kind of rules that decides when a comma represents a delimiter, and when it is just part of the text. I think a custom script component
    would be necessary to pre-process the data, identify where a comma is part of an address, and then treat that as one field.

  • Can I purchase an iphone3g and then use it with the apple golf app as a golf gps without having to be on a cell plan or data plan?

    If I purchase an iPhone 3g, can I then use it with the apple golf app without having cell or data service?

    You do not need have cell service for the GPS to work.
    If the iphone is new, then you would have to activate it with a carrier in order for it to work at all.
    If it is used, then you can use it without wireless service:

  • Strange problem with an Oracle database link to SQL Server

    Hi gurus,
    Please help me on this problem.
    We have an Oracle 10R2 database link to a SQL Server 2000 database. I can select count(*) from The_SQL_Server_Table@myOracleLink, and I can describe The_SQL_Server_Table@myOracleLink, but I cannot select Column1 from The_SQL_Server_Table@myOracleLink! I am getting the ORA-00904: "COLUMN1": invalid identifier error.
    Could anyone tell me what is wrong here? By the way, the same user name can select all the columns in The_SQL_Server_Table through ODBC from the client app. But I need the DB link to work with some Oracle stored functions.
    Thank you!

  • How to share internet access from iPhone with home LAN

    Hello,
    Sorry if this has been asked before, but I just bought an iPhone and am trying to use it to provide internet access to a LAN at my cottage where only dial-up is possible with my ISP. Although this is easily accomplished by enabling internet sharing on my iMac and plugging it into my router's WAN port, I do not have any access to my IP printer or to my SONOS music system. Any pointers?
    Thanks,
    Martin Girard

    Well, getting internet access for my iMac is straightforward using USB tethering (I live in Canada, no AT&T crap). Then, I can share this connection with other computers (via ethernet in my case) by enabling internet sharing (in the Sharing control panel). My problem is that once I plug my iMac in the WAN port of my router, I can't access my LAN anymore. Any ideas???

  • How can I share my ical work calendar with my coworkers that are using google calendar?

    How can I share my ical work calendar with my coworkers that are using google calendar?

    You can only do this by syncing your calendar to an external server - MobileMe is designed for this but if you don't already have a MobileMe account you can't start one now.
    If you do have a MobileMe account the method is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/sharedcalendar.html#publicshare
    If you don't, you could sync to Google Calendar (Google accounts are free) or wait for iCloud which should be out in a couple of months and will probably provide this sort of facility.
    You might like to consider BusyCal which is like iCal Pro - similar to iCal but with extra facilities. It can sync calendars on a Lan and also between accounts on the same machine (you have to have fast user switching enabled).
    There is a free trial available on their website: it's slightly cheaper from the Mac App Store. (I have no connection with this company).

  • How do I get iCloud to work with my mac that has snow lepard and is pre intel?

    How do I get iCloud to work with my mac that has snow lepard and is pre intel?

    And it kills me that a friend who has pc computers and just has an iphone and ipad can breeze through all this with no problem and he still has XP.  So Apple goes back and helps old OS for pc but not for it's own kind!!!
    Richard, I agree with you 1,000%. I wrote this in a forum a few weeks ago, when a user was complaining about Snow Leopard not supporting iCloud:
    Why is it that if I bought a Mac before July of this year, I must pay to upgrade my operating system in order to take advantage of iCloud? Meanwhile, a Windows Vista SP2 user, who bought a new computer in May 2009, already has everything they need on their computer to use iCloud.
    Why was it possible for Apple to write a free iCloud Control Panel that was compatible with existing versions of Windows, but Mac users must buy an entirely new operating system?
    If Apple gave Mac users the same amount of backwards compatibility that it gives to Windows users, people with OSX 10.5 (Leopard) would be able to use iCloud. That's something to think about the next time you go to purchase a new computer.
    (P.S. Something else to think about: If you bought a Mac before October 2007 (when OSX 10.5 was introduced), your computer won't run iTunes 10.5 unless you buy an upgrade. But a PC user, who purchased their computer as long ago as Sept. 2004(!), can run iTunes without an OS upgrade.)
    I got so angry thinking about this, that I ended up writing an angry note to Apple on their feedback page. After repeating what I just wrote here, I asked them to commit to providing at least the same level of support to Mac users that they do for PC users when it comes to their cross platform products (iPhone, iPad, iCloud, Apple TV, Safari, iTunes, etc.) And, really, is that so much to ask?
    I wish I knew how to start a petition requesting that Mac users get comparable treatment as PC users. But then again, shouldn't that go without saying?
    Please leave feedback about this revolting double standard on the Apple feedback page. They should be thinking long and hard about why their own customers are treated worse than the customers of their competition.

  • How to draw and modify double lines with Adobe Illustrator?

    I need tot draw roadmaps. This should be easy using the pen tool, but my problem is that I cannot find a way to draw double lines with this tool. I have seen many fancy border styles and patterns. Some do have double or even quadruple lines, but the problem is than that they have an offset from the vector line and the space in between the two lines (the edges of the road) cannot be filled. Somewere I also found some pens called 'Double line 1.1' to 'Double line 1.6' but they also had an offset from the vector and I could not chance the size of the lines and the interval in between them independently.
    What I am looking for is a way to draw two lines in parallel and have the option tot fill the space in between with a color or even a pattern.
    The color and size of the lines should be changeable to make a distinction between several types of road.
    Is there an existing set of pencils for this purpose? It would be nice to be able to draw not only roads, but also railways and rivers!
    I am surely not the first person who needs to do this?
    I use AI version 6

    Jacob,
    Thanks for the answer. I have been searching for a solutions for a long
    time, but today I found the solution on a forum (not on this one). That
    solution is exactly as you described below, i.e. using a coloured line and a
    narrower white line on top of the first one. My problem was that I did not
    know how to create a custom brush based on the two lines. Now I know how to
    do that. However, I still have the problem. I can now draw double lines and
    I can change the color of the background line (the coloured one) but I
    cannot change the white colour of the narrower line. I assume that I have to
    completely redefine a new brush when I need to change that colour too.

    I have a requirement that i need to generate a report form two different data base. i.e Oracle and Sql Server. Bad idea most times. Heterogeneous joins do not exactly scale and performance can be severely degraded by network speed and b/w availability. And there is nothing you can do in the application and database layers to address performance issue at the network level in this case - your code's performance is simply at the mercy of network performance. With a single glaring fact - network performance is continually degrading. All the time. Always. Until it is upgraded. When the performance degradation starts all over again.
    If the tables are not small (few 1000 rows each) and row volumes static, I would not consider doing a heterogeneous join. Instead I would rather go for a materialised view on the Oracle side, use a proper table and index structure, and do a local database join.
