Linked Tables in Access DB

I connect to a remote db using odbc connection. All the
tables in the db are linked and I am able to write my CF code to
read the tables and produce reports, etc. Now another person has
gone directly into Access and created a query with some of the
linked tables, and with data from an excel spreadsheet. Since the
query is already built and runs, they want me to take the query and
put it in a CF application so that CF can run it. I am able to
create a table (not linked) in the db and import the data from
excel to populate the table, but when I run CF with the query, it
does not like the table that I created, which I named tblSS_PO.
Here is the error :
Error Diagnostic Information
ODBC Error Code = S0002 (Base table not found)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object
name 'tblSS_PO'.
Does it not like it because the table I built is not linked
and not part of the original db ? Anyone with any ideas on how I
can solve this problem ? It seems like the data from excel will be
a consistent thing, all I need to do is plug it in each time and
run the query but I cannot get it to work. Thanks for any help.

You have to have the same version of the access file on the
remote server
(one CF is connecting to) as you have on your local system.
Just changing
your local access file does not change the remote file. you
have to upload
your Access file just like you have to upload your site
pages.

Why data change in linked table in Access - link from Oracle DB

Can someone please help me to solve this situation? I try to find out why data is changed from Oracle to Access. I must come back to this thread because lot of data in my Oracle database is defined as NUMBER(22), and I am using Access heavily.
Here is the problem:
In Access, I created ODBC connection (System DSN) to Oracle 9.2 database by using Oracle driver (NOT Microsoft ODBC for Oracle). Then I linked tables from Access with the Oracle table. What happens is that the number in Access linked table is displayed as a scientific number. Is there a way that I can preserve whatever I have in Oracle database?
For example:
Comp_ID in Oralce is defined as NUMBER(22) = 40000000000324003; In Access it looks like this 4.0000000000324E+16.
What I have in my system:
1- Oracle 9.2 client
2- Oracle driver
3- Access 2003
4- Jet - SP 8

Linked table in Access not displaying all SharePoint List columns

In Access 2007 I created a link to a list in SharePoint 2010.
Originally the modified by and created by columns were not visible in SharePoint. They did not appear in the Access table.
I made the two lists visible in Sharepoint and refreshed the link. However, the two columns did not appear in the Access table. I created a new .accdb file and re-created a link to the list yet the two columns still do
not appear in the table.
How do I get these two columns to appear in the Access table?
Thanks,
- Bruce

I figured it out by accident. The fields are in the linked table ... they are just hidden!
I face the same Problem with Access 2013 and SharePoint-Online from Office 365. I added additional columns to the list in SharePoint, but they won't appear in the linked table in Access. Even when I make all columns visible, they are not listed.
Updating data for the other columns works like a charm.
Any idea from anyone?

ORA-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error while linking tables in Access

One of my app dev is encountering an interesting error message while linking Oracle tables from Access. I am not able to able to reproduce this in my desktop or anywhere else. Details enclosed. Can you guys point me to a solution? Thanks in advance!
ODBC: Oracle Client version 10.2.0.1
Desktop : Win XP ; Access 2003
=>Able to login to the Oracle database sucessfully using sqlplus.
=>Able to create an ODBC datasource to Oracle database.("Test Connection" works fine)
=>But encountering the TNS protocol adpater error while linking the table(Access->File->Get External Data-> Link tables).
=>Not able to link any table in any schema in any Oracle database. Hence this is not a data centric issue.
What did I do?
=> Uninstalled Oracle 8 client and installed Oracle 10 client. No luck. Encountering the same error.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
I've read all the posts mentioned (quite a few more) but I couldn't find any suggested solution to the "non-oracle10g"-problem other than using the global db name instead of the sid - which didn't help in our case:
However, in a last desperate attempt to solve the problem on my own before launching another cry-for-help-post I did try running the configuration assistant using the correct password for the SYS user 8-} and - strange but true - it did work :-)
Needless to say: I used the global db name of course, so I can't say what would have happened without it, but I trust your hint was a legitimate one.
Anyway - I gues that error Message concerning a "non-oracle10g database" was slightly misleading in this case.... grrrr.

"People Picker" field not letting update SP linked table in Access

Hello all,
I have linked a SharePoint list to an Access database in order to manipulate some data. This list contains several fields, including a people picker in which its data come from SharePoint.
Once in my Access DB, I need to update some fields of this list, however when I try to change some values from a record that has the people picker populated I get the following error message: "you cannot reference rows created
when you are disconnected from the server because this violates the lookup settings defined for this table". I only get this when I have values on people picker, I can proceed without any problem when I have it set as blank.
So, do you have any idea on how to accomplish an update operation while having a people picker field populated?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Pedro,
I recommend to check if the user populated in the RequestBy exits in User Information List in SharePoint site and the choices listed in Access for status field are existed in SharePoint Status column.
Please refer to this thread for more details:

"Invalid argument" error when attempting to use Linked Table Manager

I am trying to import a text file into a linked table in Access (the linked table resides in SQL Server). I run through the import wizard which always ends with an 'Invalid Argument' error and claims the import was unsuccessful but when I query the table
all the data has been imported. How do I get this error to stop?
Any suggestion will be appreciated

Sounds like something is not hooked up right, or setup right. Can you do a Compact and Repair and try again?
http://www.fmsinc.com/Microsoftaccess/compact/compact-on-close.html
http://www.databasedev.co.uk/compacting-and-repairing-ms-access.html
C & R is really done to defragment a DB, but it can 'fix' other things as well.
Also, see this.

http://www.databasejournal.com/features/msaccess/article.php/3853531/Working-with-external-text-files-in-MS-Access.htm
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Simple Query in Oracle Linked Table in MS Access causes full table scan.

I am running a very simple query in MS ACCESS to a linked Oracle table as follows:
Select *
From EXPRESS_SERVICE_EVENTS --(the linked table name refers to EXPRESS.SERVICE_EVENTS)
Where performed > MyDate()
or
Select *
From EXPRESS_SERVICE_EVENTS --(the linked table name refers to EXPRESS.SERVICE_EVENTS)
Where performed > [Forms]![MyForm]![Date1]
We have over 50 machines and this query runs fine on over half of these, using an Oracle Index on the "performed" field. Running exactly the same thing on the other machines causes a full table scan, therefore ignoring the Index (all machines access the same Access DB).
Strangely, if we write the query as follows:
Select *
From EXPRESS_SERVICE_EVENTS
Where performed > #09/04/2009 08:00#
it works fast everywhere!
Any help on this 'phenominon' would be appreciated.
Things we've done:
Checked regional settings, ODBC driver settings, MS Access settings (as in Tools->Options), we have the latest XP and Office service packs, and re-linked all Access Tables on both the slow and fast machines independantly).

Primarily, thanks gdarling for your reply. This solved our problem.
Just a small note to those who may be using this thread.
Although this might not be the reason, my PC had Oracle 9iR2 installed with Administratiev Tools, where user machines had the same thing installed but using Runtime Installation. For some reason, my PC did not have 'bind date' etc. as an option in the workarounds, but user machines did have this workaround option. Strangely, although I did not have the option, my (ODBC) query was running as expected, but user queries were not.
When we set the workaround checkbox accordingly, the queries then run as expected (fast).
Once again,
Thanks

Problem to acces linked table from Microsoft Access 2010

We have a couple of MS access databases that have linked tables from oracle Database. When the user try to view the content of the table it gets an error saying that the table or view does not exist.
But if i create a new MS access db and link the same tables with the same user, we are able to view the content of the table. So it does not seem to be related to permissions...
If we delete the linked table and try to re-attached them we got the same error
Anyone have a clue ?

It looks like this is a question that should be addressed in our ORACLE ODBC community, since it has to to with MS Access links to an Oracle DB via (I presume) an Oracle ODBC driver.
This community is for Oracle Heterogeneous Gateways. That is, Oracle DB links into 3rd party databases.
Thanks!

How to programmatically connect to MS Access linked tables to oracle ?

Hi,
I have database in MS Access which has linked table in oracle database.
But I am not able to connect to that linked table through java program .
It gives me java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] ODBC--connection to 'servername' failed.
Can anybody suggest me how to tackle this problem?

This blog post should have most (if not all) of what you need:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2009/02/16/how-can-i-use-windows-powershell-to-create-an-office-access-database.aspx
One thing to watch out for is the db provider for the connection string. The "Jet Engine" has been superseded by
ACE.

MS Access Linked Tables

I have an MS Access database that I have no choice but to use, and the powers that
be won't move it to Oracle anytime soon. I'm working on my own workstation running
a Tomcat 4.1.31 Server.
The database is on a network share and links tables from another network directory.
I defined a System DSN to the "main" access database to access it via the
JDBC/ODBC Bridge. However, when I try access a query using a "linked" table from
the other Access database, I get a ServletException:
Access Driver The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file
"\\share\database2.mdb". It is already opened exclusively by another user, or
you need permission to view its dataIs there a way to make this work? I cannot modify the current setup or configuration
of either Access database (if I could have, I would already have taken the virtual axe
to it).
Jason

>
Is there a way to make this work?You start by looking at the enviroment, not java.
First are you running tomcat as a service? When a service starts up it starts up in an enviroment. Just as when you log in your have an enviroment. And you need to be in the same environment for you to verify access. Changing the service to use a user will often help this.
Once you have looked at the above then log in as the user (on the same computer) that the service runs as. Using dir from a console verify that you can see the file. If you can't dir the file then tomcat can't access it.
After that then use the MS Access GUI to access that file. Verify that you can view it and modify it.

Access ODBC link table list ONLY one table

Hi all,
I try to link Oracle tables from Microsoft Access via Link Table. The return list show ONLY one table, which by right it should show ALL tables in my Database.
What is the problem here? Anyone encounter this same problem before.
My database is very large, over 10,000 tables. Can it be because of resources issues?
Pls help

Are they all real tables are or some of them perhspa VIEWS, SYNONYMS or the like? The default list is for just tables. I have seen cases where a really large list would make Access puke, but this generally results in getting nothing listed.

Login issues using linked tables in Microsoft Access

Hello everyone!!!
Anybody knows how to set the ODBC Login and password for a group of Oracle ODBC linked tables in MS Access by using DAO or VBA?. I need to use DAO instead of ADO for my application since I use ODBC and an Oracle Database.
I know I can use the "save password" check box in the linked tables dialog, but I am developing and Access Application for my company and I'm using a generic username for the application itself by I need not to store the password in the connection string because is easy for an end user to obtain.
I would like to have a form to set the password as long it is opened, and when the form closes, the password is cleared. (Actually, when the control panel form closes, I close Access itself).....
Is there any way to set the password in the DBEngine.Workspaces object??
I searched Microsoft Developer web site and there is severan articles about this topic, but none of them work in an Oracle Database.
Is there any way to communicage with the Oracle Client from the Access application and set the password??
Thanks, I know it's a very technical question, but is the only thing I need to solve to finish my application.!!!!

Does anyone know if JDBC can access linked tables
in a Microsoft Access?I doubt the bridge can. However the link is created using ODBC so you can access it directly.

Linking Java to Access Database tables

Hello,
I need use JCreator to link Java to Access Database tables.
Could any one tell me what kind of drivers I need use?
Also, where could I find the examples of linking Java to Access Database tables?
Thank you,
Daniel

Thanks.
I have read the tutorial and downloaded the sample code from the web http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/
In the CreateCoffee.java programming, I made the following changes:
     //     String url = "jdbc:mySubprotocol:myDataSource";
          String url = "jdbc:odbc:DB1";
DB1 is an Access Database file located in the same folder as CreateCoffee.java.
//Class.forName("myDriver.ClassName");
               Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Every time when I run the CreateCoffee.java programming, it shows the following running error:
SQLException:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager]
Data source name not found and no default driver specified.
Could any one have any suggestions for solving the above problem?
Thank you,
Daniel

Access 97 - Changing Connection to Linked Tables

Currently going through a migration process for an Access 97 database.
I have managed to get everything working against my development database. I now want to port the database to a test environment for end user testing. However, my knowledge of Access is not very extensive, is there a way that I can change the link in the Access front end to point at the test environment. When I do this with the 'Linked Table Manager', using a different DSN file then I get Microsoft Jet db engine errors that the object cannot be found. This is due to the migration workbench converting the original tables names to proper Oracle formats and adding a '_R' suffix.
Hope someone is able to help.
