Microsoft Access Connectivity in a UNIX DS server

Hello,
We are connecting DS on an AIX server to Microsoft Access.
I know that this is possible via ODBC and a third party driver. The one I found is by EasySoft.
Do you know of any other options? Or a preferred third party driver?
Thanks,
Kevin

Update to others looking for this info:
There is a driver from data direct. But it costs much more than the Easysoft driver.
http://web.datadirect.com/products/odbc/other-data-sources.html
Another option available was connecting to Access via Oracle. (If Oracle is on a windows box) http://www.orafaq.com/node/60
For my project, they determined that pulling from flat file exports was fine.

User-friendly message to Microsoft Access form's user from Oracle server

I put statment like this
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20001, 'You forgot to enter date') in before insert trigger, so I see in my access form this message, but also a lot of statments like:
Insert failed,
ORA-06512: at ....., line 11
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger ...
Is there a possibility to leave only this user friendly message 'You forgot to enter date!', isn't it?
I would be very fankfull! Please help

Hi,
>>so I see in my access form this message
This a exception, You need find a way to capture this message from Microsoft Access.
Cheers

Can't connect to the window application server.

I have installed the Sun Secure Global Desktop Software 4.2,
the client can connect to the unix application server but can't connect to the window applicaiont server.
What can i do?
Thank you.

Hi.
Are you sure you're using a Windows server which support Terminal Services? In other words, try (on the Windows server) by escaping to the CMD prompt and issue the
netstat -n
command as to see if port 3389 is listed in LISTEN state.
Best,

817 / 9i windows client against 9i Unix Database server

Does it cause any problem like core-dump if I have both 8.1.7 and 9i windows clients connect to 9i Unix Database server to different account(sid) ? Thanks

Any combination of 8i and 9i clients and servers should work. You only start running into problems when you have 7.3.4 clients and 9.2 servers (or vice versa) or older 8.0 clients and 9.2 servers (or vice versa).
There is a certification matrix available on the OTN main page (under Get Support I believe) that will list all the permissible combinations.

Need to access/connect Remote Unix server from Java

Please any one give me a direct solution for connecting a remote Unix server through telnet connection from java application. Thanks in advance..

If I run the below program codes, in the console it is asking to enter username and password in manual but I need to give it automatically.
The highlighted "root" is entered by the user manually using keyboard.
Expected:
I mean the username, password and some action is set to be automatic, so that it should not ask the user to enter the input from keyboard.

Help,
setup a new sql server 2012 on a windows 2012r2 server to replace old sql server 2005 on an old windows server 2003 machine. When i test the ODBC connection locally on the server it works fine, however when i try to connect via windows 7 client machine
i get the following error:

I think it must be a permissions thing, I've turned off the firewall for now and still no difference, 've also made sure remote connection is enabled. I can connect to the other sql server in studio manager on the new machine however, i can't go do
the same in the old server, says:
cannot connect to hbfsqlpro1\hbfsqlpro1
Additonal information a network related or instance specifc error occured while establising a connection to SQL server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL server is configured to
allow remote connections. (provider:SQL Network Interfaces, error 26 - error locationg server/instance specified) (Microsoft SQL server)
the instance is def correct, as that is what i use to connect locally on the new machine and what it comes up on the studio manager on the new machine. STarting to pull my hair out somewhat, i'm sure it's something really simple!

Hello,
You are trying to connect to a named instance. Make sure the SQL Server Browser service is started on the SQL Server computer.
Make sure TCP/IP is enabled.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191294(v=sql.110).aspx
Try to disable Windows Firewall or security software on both, SQL Server instance and client computer.
Test basic connectivity too. Try to ping from the client computer to the SQL Server computer.
Hope this helps.

Crystal reports server and microsoft access db

Hi
I have created a Crystal Report using Crystal Reports XI. In terms of a datasource I simply used a unc path to the actual mdb file.
I can open the report local on the PC in CR XI and the report runs no problem however I have deployed to our Crystal Reports server XI so that users can use it.
The problem is that when I try to run the report from the Info view console it keeps asking me for a user id and password. I have logged into the CMC admin console and looked at the properites of the report and the process/database tab however not matter what I configure in there it either asks for the username and password or says invlaid object when I try to view the report.
I have created other reports which have used an SQL database as the data source and published them to the CR Server and they work no problem so I am guessing I need to change something for using an Access DB as the dataource. Not usr eif that change is in Crystal Reports XI or Crystal Reports Server?
Can anyone help?
Many thanks

Non-technical user needs help with Microsoft Access/MS-Query connection

I've read through some of the other threads on problems with the ODBC connection from MS Access to an Oracle database but as a non-techie I'm afraid I need to ask based on the steps I have always used. I'm not totally inexperienced as I have gone through the same steps on multiple Windows XP machine running different versions of Oracle and Office over the past 10 years but the steps aren't working this time. If there are settings that need to be checked or changed (path, etc.) I'm afraid I'll need specific instructions as to where I need to look for them.
I'm currently trying to set up a connection on a new laptop running a 64-bit version of Windows 2007 Professional.
1) I've installed a full 64 bit Oracle 11g client and 32 bit copy of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013.
2) I set up the Oracle data source using the client Net Manager. I can connect from there.
3) I added it in the Oracle-provided Microsoft ODBC Administrator and can connect from there.
I the past, after doing this, the was automatically included in the list of ODBC Databases in MS Acess but this time it's not. I tried adding it as a new data source by selecting the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle driver but receive the same "The Oracle(tm) client and networking components were not found" error message that has plagued so many others.

This is bad code, for lots of reasons:
(1) Scriptlet code like this should not be used. Learn JSTL and use its <sql> tags if you must.
(2) This code belongs in a Java object that you can test outside of a JSP. JSPs are for display only. Let server-side objects do the database work for you.
(3) You don't close any ResultSet, Statement, or Connection that I can see. Microsoft Access doesn't save any records until you close the Connection.
(4) You don't have any transactional logic. When you write to a database, you usually want it to be a unit of work that is committed or rolled back together.

How do I get mail on my iPhone and computer to sync automatically, so e.g. messages read on one appear read on both? I am working in VN and the microsoft access server is in the USA.

How do I get mail on my iPhone and computer to sync automatically, so e.g. messages read on one appear read on both? I am working in VN and the microsoft access server is in the USA.

If you created as an Exchange account on the iPhone (not IMAP or POP) and you have Push on it should all work smoothly; Reading a message on either client should mark the other read (it does on mine). Try deleting the account from the phone, rebooting the phone (to clear out old settings), then go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar, add an account and tap Microsoft Exchange and add the account back.
There is a fundamental difference between BB and iPhone that you should be aware of; on the BB you do not sync directly with Exchange; you sync with the RIM server which then syncs with your Exchange server. The iPhone syncs directly with Exchange using Microsoft's ActiveSync protocol. So in some ways they will behave differently. But ActiveSync should manage marking messages as read correctly.

Is there any way of importing stuffs from Microsoft Access to SQL Server?

I have quite a big store of information Microsoft Access DB, but now i am required to switch to SQL Server?
Is there any way of importing to SQL Server, either by Java programming or manually?
Thank you in advance.

I like to give some tips on how to fulfil the requirement.. I haven't tried this. If you succeeded, it is well and good.
1) Using Java:
If you like to Java to import the data from MS Access to SQL Server, you have to write a JDBC Program in such a way that it has to retrieve the data from each MSAccess tables and store it in temperory java varaible.After writng into the temp. varaibles, the same thing will be written into SQL Server. The whole process is repeated for all the tables in MS Access.
2) Manual Process:
Try to get the data scripts from MS-Access for all the tables and Load the same into SQL Server
I hope that Manual Process consumes less time compared in writing the codes for transformation..
I hope that you got some idea on reading this. If you have any doubts, try to get back to me..

Using Terminal with a dial-up connection to a Unix server

Normally I use a cable modem at home to connect to a Unix server at work. All I have to do is fire up the Terminal application, type "telnet servername.domainname.com", and I am up and running.
A couple days ago my cable modem service died and it is going to take a week to get it fixed. Wanting to find a temporary alternative connection, I remembered that my PowerMac G5 came equipped with an Apple internal modem. I connected the modem to a phone line, went to the Network configuration panel in System Preferences, and configured the modem to dial-up the Unix server at work. Using the Internet Connect application, the modem can connect to the Unix server, but that application attempts to make a PPP connection, not a plain old-fashioned command-line Unix connection.
What I really want to do is use the Terminal application to dial-up the Unix server. Does anybody know how to do that?
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

You need to know more about how the server at the other end is configured.
Internet Connect will only manage an internet connection, typically via PPP. If the server at the other end is not configured as a PPP server then you're not going to get anywhere with it.
If the server is set to use the modem as a standard serial interface then you'll need a terminal emulator that can manage the serial ports (terminal.app is not such an app).
Fortunately there are many options, including the venerable ZTerm. This will let you use the modem to dial a number and log in over a simple serial line.
