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.

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!

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

Can I use Web Services with Microsoft Access?

I'm somewhat handy with Microsoft Access (2003 in particular), but not an expert. Macros? No problem. VBA? I'd be hard pressed to code anything from scratch, but I'm not too bad with modifying code/examples to fit my particular scenario. So, if anything about this doesn't ring quite right, now you'll know why. Some years ago I worked with another guy to develop a module that used REST(?) to query some web services at Yahoo!. If that worked, I was hoping that I could do similar things with CRMOD I was thinking, for example, I might want to get the Opportunity Sales Stage for a number of records. And since there are tools for Excel and Word, I thought Access might work, too. As a starting point, I imagine I need to use the Web Services Toolkit for Office 2003. But frankly, I don't even know where to go beyond that.
Am I wasting my time? Any suggestions for an intro to web services?

Probably not through USB.
But likely if its anytihng like the Microsoft Sync in my Ford Explorer you can play audio from it through Bluetooth.
You can read here for compatibilites, and features.

I connect My iPad to the Sync media center with no issues and can play my musci from the iPad thorugh the car stereo speakers.

"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?

C & R is really done to defragment a DB, but it can 'fix' other things as well.

To put Data type inside a table of Microsoft Access (dummy ask)

Hi to all,
I am new to use database in java ... (but I did it long time in Visual Basic) and I have a trivial problem...
I try this SQL statement in different why without success...
int clientIdKey = 3;
Date = regneDate new Date();
"INSERT INTO myTable (idCli, dateReg) VALUES (" + clientIdKey + ", #" + regneDate + "# )";
The message error I get in this case is the follow:
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in date in query expression '#Sat Oct 20 16:54:23 PDT 2007#'".
(I tried to format the value of regneDate in different why too... but it was not good the same...)
I know the mine is a stupid problem .., but I am not going to get the right road, so I ask to some one that it know the whay to say it me please...
Thank you very much
regards
tonyMrsangelo

Joe's correct. Do it like this:
int clientIdKey = 3;
Date regneDate = new Date();
String sql = "INSERT INTO myTable (idCli, dateReg) VALUES(?,?)";
PreparedStatement stmt = null;
try
    stmt = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
    stmt.setInt(1, clientIdKey);
    stmt.setDate(2, regneDate);
    int numRowsAffected = stmt.executeUpdate();
catch (SQLException e)
    e.printStackTrace();
finally
    try { if (stmt != null) stmt.close(); } catch (SQLException e) {}
}    %

Using Mapping Tables to restrict access

Hi People,
I need to make some send/receive restrictions on my mailserver:
I want that all local users not to be allowed to send/receive mail to/from the Internet with the exception of the postmaster. So, it's right to introduce these entries in the Mapping Table file "mappings" to solve the problem? i need to do anything else?
ORIG_SEND_ACCESS
*|[email protected]|tcp_local|* $Y
tcp_*|*|*|[email protected] $Y
*|*@mydomain.com|tcp_local|* $NInternet$ posting$ are$ not$ permited
tcp_*|*|*|*@mydomain.com $NInternet$ e-mail$ not$ accepted
After these step i have to restart any service?which?
NB.
I use the defaults channels of ims5.2 and sorry for my poor english. Any doubt, please mail me.
Thanks in advance to all

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.

Linked table to SharePoint2010 causing Access2010 to crash

Hi,
I am using Access 2010 to LINK (not import) to a couple of Sharepoint 2010 lists. I have run into a problem with the Menu based linking method (Extrernal Data > Import & Link > More > SharePoint List), so I have moved to the VBA based TransferSharepointList
method of the Do.Cmd which links a custom View of List into Access fine!
The advantage is that I can link to a specific view of the SP2010 List (called Child) and therefore reduce the number of columns accessible in Access to a manageable number (only 10 vs 250+ originally delivered with the Menu method). However, when I
try to modify the content of any column (write the record) from a DataSheet View of Child (a linked Table object), MS Access crashes.
I don't experience this problem with another SP2010 List linked using the TransferSharepointList method of the Do.Cmd. This second list (called Parent) has < 200 columns. I need to Link in order to perform maintenance on the lists in SharePoint
from Access.
Any idea why Access is crashing? I will appreciate any guidance!
Thanks,
Jack

Hi,
I noticed that you had posted the question in MSDN forum. Could tell me the result about testing?
According to your description, your VBA code worked fine to import the Sharepoint list less than 200 columns.
I recommend you create a new SharePoint list include the random 10 of the 250 columns and import them again.
If it works fine, I suppose that the issue may be caused by the Access design.
Note Access imports only the first 256 columns, since it supports only 256 fields in a table. To avoid this problem, create a view and add to it only the columns that you want, ensuring that the total number of columns doesn't exceed 256.
If it still does not work well. I recommend you check the columns in the source list with the below link:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/import-from-or-link-data-to-a-sharepoint-list-HA010341758.aspx
I hope it's helps

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:

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).

Programatically Link Tables wiith SQL

Is there a way to programatically link tables from one Access Database
to another using SQL?
Thanks!
Tim Erickson

I can't give you a definite answer, but a direction to start looking would be to check the MS website and see if you can find an example of how to do it either using ActiveX or a combination of ActiveX and a macro. If you can find such an example, all you have to do is recast the calls to LV-style ActiveX operations. Alternately you may find that such remote operation is not possible--in which case you have your answer.
In any case, please keep the list posted with what you find as I sometimes get stuck using Access and the information could be helpful.

Problems controlling Microsoft Access with ActiveX

I have done quite a bit of searching on this topic, and have found several answers that are close, but do not address my actual problem.
I would like to use ActiveX to control Microsoft Access, specifically to create new database files without having to copy a blank file I have stored somewhere. I also can't stand it when I can't get something to work, so this is now a personal thing too.
Anyway, when I run a simple VI to open the creatable reference Access._Application, I get the error: "Error 3005 occurred at Automation Open: Object specified is not creatable in Access.vi". I have tried a lot of the common answers to this problem, like browsing for the library in the ActiveX window, and trying to register it with regsvr32, but the file is msacc.olb, which cannot be registered with regsvr32.exe. I have attached the original VI and I have tried this on 3 different PCs, all with slightly different installs of Office, but all with Access 2007. If anyone can help me figure this out, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Eric

Your vi gave the same error on my machine. Then I deleted the Access._Application reference, right-clicked on the reference input and selected Create Control. Then I changed the Active-X Class by browsing to my computers version of the reference ("Access._Application.12"). The same vi ran without error.
The class still shows as Access._Application, which indicates that there may be an incompatibility which is not visible.
When and activeX node fails to run when copied from any other machine, it is recommended to Replace each node that generates the error and reselect the properties and methods.

How To automate Microsoft Access Forms

Hi,
I am trying to use ActiveX to automate Microsoft Access Forms. Does any one have any example code of doing this.
Thanks

Well, not exactly an example, but sort of an answer can be found here. It looks like getting the reference to a form is fairly simple, so going on from there should probably not be too hard.
Another option, if feasible, would be to use macros. There is an example in the example finder of this, but I'm guessing that's not what you want.
Hope this helps.

Login codes using java database (validates with Microsoft Access File)

hi all pro-programmer, can you show me the code to login with the username and password using java database. When the user enters the username and password in the login page then it will go to the requested page. may i know how to do it?

no one will give you complete code.
i'll lay out the pieces for you, though:
(1) start with a User object. give it username and password attributes.
(2) write a UserDAO interface with CRUD operations for a User object.
(3) write a UserDAOImpl for your Microsoft Access database
(4) write an AuthenticationService interface
(5) write an implementation of the AuthenicationService that works with the UserDAO to authorize a User.
Use a servlet to accept request from your login page and pass it off to the service. Voila.
PS - Here's skeleton to start with. UI, servlet, and controller are your responsibility:
package model;
public class User implements Serializable
    private String username;
    private String password;
    public User(String u, String p)
        this.username = u;
        this.password = p;
    public String getUsername() { return username; }
    public String getPassword() { return password; }
public interface UserDAO
    public User findByUsername(String username);
    public void saveOrUpdate(User user);
    public void delete(User user);
public class UserDAOImpl implements UserDAO
    private Connection connection;
    public UserDAOImpl(Connection connection)
        this.connection = connection;
    public User findByUsername(String username)
        String password = "";
        // logic for querying the database for a User
        return new User(username, password);
    public void saveOrUpdate(User user)
        // save or update a User
    public void delete(User user)
        // delete a User
public interface AuthenticationService
    public boolean isAuthorized(String username);
public class AuthenticationServiceImpl implements AuthenticationService
    private UserDAO userDAO;
    public AuthenticationServiceImpl()
        // Create a database connection here and the UserDAO, too.
    public boolean isAuthorized(String username)
        boolean isAuthorized = false;
        // Add logic to do the database query and decide if the username is authorized
        return isAuthorized;
}
