Java with EXCEL and Access

I have a program that imports an EXCEL file as an Access database.
One field in the EXCEL file contains ZIP codes which, when imported into the database are stored as numbers/double. I would , however, like to import these as char. Any way I could do this using a code?

I am using the resultset and the metadata functions to get the column type. I use the getString(6) function in the resultset..which returns the data type..
When the zips are arranged in random order..this retuens the column type as NUMBER which messes up the program...however if I arrange the column in the descending order...it returns VARCHAR and the program runs perfectly...How can I get it to return NUMBER even if the contents of the column are arranged randomly?

Office 2010 & 2007 - Excel and Access File Locking Out On the Network With Multiple Users

This is also posted in the Office 2010 - IT Pro General Discussions, but was suggested to repost here, since a definitive answer was not found.
Hi,
An issue that's happening is that Excel and Access files are locking on the network. We're currently using Office 2007 and 2010.
Here are some different scenarios that are happening:
When opening the file it is locked out by “User X” which is the person that has the file locked out and no one else can open the file.
When opening the file it is locked out by “User Y” which is NOT the actual person, but is locked out by “User X” and no one else can access the file.
When opening the file it is locked out by “…another user” which is generic and no one else can access the file.
The two more common events are incident 1 and 2 with 3 happening the less common.
This message will continue until the sessions are closed through computer management on the file server.
The file server is running Windows Server 2003.
This does happen on both Windows XP and Windows 7 clients.
This does happen for users using Office 2007 and Office 2010.
There are two sets of Office 2010 Users when it comes to patches. Everyone has the most current patches with Office 2010 SP2 while anyone that has Microsoft Project 2010 is using all the current update before Office 2010 SP2.
All users that are using Office 2007 have all the current patches and service packs.
Another variable is that we have users that will leave a file open on the network for 3+ days and after a while it will lock the file out.
Also we have Shadow Copy that runs daily on the system which I'm not for sure if that impacts anything if a file is opening during that time.
Any ideas on how to mitigate the lock out issues would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Binary Process
Edit November 12, 2013: This issue can occur if and if not another person actually has the file open. If the person doesn't have the file open then there is a hung connection which needs to be disconnected by going to the Computer Management of the File
server.

Hi Binary,
I know that the description of the hotfix does not relate to the issue. The purpose is to install it for upgrading SMB related file.
A similar issue I encountered before:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/b7fcc59b-52d9-4a02-863a-1a529bcb8cb1/temp-doc-etc-files-dont-close-after-a-file-closes-this-causes-locked-files?forum=winserverfiles
It is resolved by upgrading SMB files so maybe it will help on your case.

Its not Dreamweaver, or Access, its your servers locale, its
set to US
format, not the UK.
On your page at the top use:
<% Session.LCID = 2057 %>
This will force the page into using UK formatted dates. Use
it on any
page that needs to format the page correctly.

By default, your system will automatically restart with all of the same applications open that were open when you shut it down. When you tell your system to shut down or restart, you will get a dialog box like below. You need to uncheck the box. Note that your election here will not be permanent... you will need to select it each time you shutdown (or just close all of your applications before you shutdown).

Working with EXCEL and WORD files on a Mac Pro

Hello,
I have a lot of EXCEL and WORD files and the compatibility with NUMBERS and PAGES is not really satisfying. Is there a EXCEL and WORD app which runs without surprises on a Mac Pro?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Microsoft sells its own Microsoft Office version for OS X > http://www.microsoft.com/mac Microsoft Office for Mac will be the application that will give you less headaches when using Office documents, so I recommend it.
Another application you should consider is LibreOffice, which is free > http://www.libreoffice.org

JDBC with Excel / MS-Access

I wish to connect from Java to a table in Excell or MS-Access and don't have a clue on "how to?".
I'm working with J2SE 1.5.0_01 and BlueJ IDE.
I get an error on "import sun.jdbc.*;":

I've check my computer and couldn't find it.
Q1: where can I get JDBC drivers?
Q2: Are there any Freeware JDBC drivers?
Q3: Where can I download them from?

I'm working with J2SE 1.5.0_01 and BlueJ IDE.Lose the BlueJ IDE until you know what you're doing. Better to compile and run on the command line.
I get an error on "import sun.jdbc.*;":
"package sun.jdbc does not exist".Right, because there is no such package. Besides, you should never import that package (or any other JDBC driver package, for that matter). All you need is the java.sql package.
I've check my computer and couldn't find it.Because there is no such thing.
The bridge driver class that you want is sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver.

Q1: where can I get JDBC drivers? You just need the bridge.
Q2: Are there any Freeware JDBC drivers?Most database vendors provide JDBC drivers for their products, but Access isn't one of them.
Q3: Where can I download them from?You can't for Access, but all other database vendors have drivers for their products.

Learn how to use code tags, Benny. This code is pretty awful, and won't do what you want.

Problems with Excel and Word 2013 saving to OneDrive for Business

I've had OneDrive for Business running for about a month without any problems. On Thursday I noticed I wasn't able to save an Excel 2013 spreadsheet to my OneDrive account. When I try to save it a box comes up that it's communicating with OneDrive then I
get an error that the file wasn't able to upload due to permissions. I've tried to resync and repair OneDrive, but that didn't help. I also repaired Office 2013.
If I create a txt file in Notepad I can save immediately to the same folder on OneDrive. If I create a new spreadsheet and hit the browse button to save it takes forever for OneDrive to access the folder then I get an upload error saying it cannot save and
to make a copy.
Should I re-install Office 2013?

Hi,
Are you able to new a Word/Excel file directly in that OneDrive folder?
Please first try to remove and re-add the OneDrive service in Office and then verify result.
You might also want to install any available updates, make sure your system/Office is up to date and then try again.

Ethan Hua

Problems with classpath and accessing a specific file

I'm currently running an application using NetBeans (I know this is the Sun Forum but maybe someone can help). For those who aren't familiar with this IDE, whenever a project is created, a ProjectName folder is also created. Inside that folder are 5 new folders (*build*, dist, nbproject, src and test) as well as 2 new files (*build.xml*, manifest.mf). The dist folder contains the *.jar* file.
Seeing that this is an audio application, I am constantly working with audio files. In the ProjectName folder, I've created a sixth folder (*audiofiles*) were I load and save such audio files. To access a specific audio file, I do the following:
File audioExample = File("audiofiles" + File.separator + "audio.wav");When I run the project from the IDE there doesn't seem to be a problem. However, when I try to run the project by simply double-clicking the *.jar* file in the dist folder, the audio files can't be accessed. In order to be able to access them, I need to change the path:
File audioExample = File("C:\...\ProjectName\audiofiles\audio.wav");This seems to solve the problem temporarily, but if I decide to change to project folder location, I also need to change the path.
QUESTION:
What is the best way to access files so that they are not dependent on where the project folder is located? Do I need to modify the classpath or simply write the path in File(...) in a specific way? If I need to modify the classpath, how can I do so in Netbeans?
Thanks in advance.

DrClap,
Thanks for the reply. To answer your questions:
Naturally that depends on where you DO want to load from. Are the files in the classpath? Are they in the current working directory?
Some other directory where you can ask the user to point to? On a different computer?The audio files are located in a created folder in the IDE project folder. I know you mentioned that I should stop thinking about this as an IDE project but I don't know any other way to think about it. I'm kinda new to Java, and the only way I've learned how everything is structured is through the IDE project structure. I'm realizing that this is probably not the best way to go about as it doesn't allow me to have a good understanding of the Java file structure. What changes do I need to make in the way I view my IDE project to make it more into a deployed version?
I'm also having a hard time understanding the classpath concept. I've been under the impression that the classpath was simply the location of the packages and classes of a specific application. How could I check if the audio files are in the classpath?
Thanks in advance.

ASA5505 Upgrade to 9.1.5 from 8.4.1 - problem with nat and accessing external host

When running on 8.4 i had a working config with the following scenario.
I have 2 interfaces configured as the outside interface.
One is connected to my internet connection
The other one is connected to a host that has a public ip.
The public host can access internet and also a PAT port on an internal host.
But after the upgrade the internal hosts can't access the external host but everything else on internet

The EXTERNAL is the host that is connected to an outside interface and that NAT rule works ok.
I can ping the EXTERNAL host from the ASA but not from the internal network.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hmmm, by adding the following i got it working:
nat (inside,outside) source static IPv6_HOST interface service https https
nat (inside,outside) source static IPv6_HOST interface service http http
nat (inside,outside) source static IPv6_HOST interface service ssh ssh
nat (inside,outside) source static INTERNAL interface destination static EXTERNAL EXTERNAL service apcupsd apcupsd
nat (inside,outside) source static IPv6_HOST interface destination static IPv6_POP IPv6_POP
nat (inside,outside) source dynamic inside interface destination static EXTERNAL EXTERNAL
nat (inside,outside) source dynamic any interface
It is a bit complicated though since the EXTERNAL host get it's address via DHCP and so does the ASA.

Problem with applications and accessing database

Hi
I have a serious problem with my applications.I was trying to change "users"'s folder icon so I changed the setting in information.I don'y know what I did but It made these problems:
many of applications does not open for example
itunes-->The folder "iTunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have permission...
picasa alerts me with a database error
yahoo messenger just pops up once and doesn't open.
firefox the same problem
net monitor alerts with a database problem.
evernote same problem
all of my address book is erased.
I think somehow I removed the db files or I changed the permission and the programs can not access to their db files.

don't know the last thing I have done was trying to change the icon and after that I found out about the problem.Maybe sth else caused the problem . anyway I copied all of my files to a new user and I removed the user with problems & everything is ok here.thank u all.

I need some help with MIDI and accessing samples

I recently purchased Logic Express 9. I'm really happy with it--it's certainly a step up from Garageband--but I'm having trouble connecting my MIDI keyboard. In Garageband, I was able to just plug the keyboard in using a MIDI/USB cable and play software instruments immediately. But in Logic, when I connect the keyboard (a Yamaha PSR-273) into a USB port, it doesn't even register! Right now, the only way for me to play software instruments is through the Capslock keyboard, and I would prefer to play on real keys. How can I connect my keyboard so I can play Logic software instruments?
Also, I read on the Apple website for Logic Express that there are "More than 1000" sampled EXS instruments, including "strings, horns, woodwinds, guitars..." etc. The only EXS instruments that I've been able to find are synthesizers. Where are the other EXS instruments and how can I access and use them?

Make sure that the keyboard is turned on before you launch Logic.
In the system preferences of the computer is it connected?
In the preferences of Logic, does it give you an option in the audio section to use the driver in your keyboard? That should come up if its connected
