Microsoft Access Database can't be accessed at times

Just wondering if anyone else is having troubles with running a Microsoft Access 2003 running on OES 11 SP1?
Not sure what is causing it but everyone once and a while our database is only accessible to one person at a time. We can run weeks at time without issues. Once I restore back from backup its fine.
Probably not a Novell issues but thought I would check. We also are running Windows XP and Windows 7 machines.
Sincerely,
Ken

Log in as the root user, then open the /etc/opt/novell/ncpserv.conf configuration file in a text editor.
If the OPLOCK_SUPPORT_LEVEL parameter is not listed, add a line for the OPLOCK_SUPPORT_LEVEL option, set it like this:
OPLOCK_SUPPORT_LEVEL 0
Ive also added: CROSS_PROTOCOL_LOCKS 1
The above is not effective immediately I'm not sure what services need to be restarted, or reboot server!
That will sort out oplocks on your NSS volumes. Then you still need to set the properties of the Novell Client not to do client side caching.
Let us know how it goes so that we can all learn.

So far so good. Thanks for all the help.

File access-restriction: can I set a one-time-access on a pdf file

As a non-expert I would like to know if it's possible to set a limit to the number of times a PDF file can be opened?
Thank you and regards.

Your goal does not make sense.
This is because I can make as many copies of a pdf file as I want and open each once and get multiple accesses to the file content.
If you find this helpful, do not forget to thank me.

MS Project - can you merge from a spreadsheet/access database based on task names?

I'm wondering if it's possible to import data on certain tasks from a spreadsheet or access database. I know you can import tasks and append them, but I was hoping to:
- Match a task name with the task name on the spreadsheet/access database
- Update that task in MS project with information/fields in the spreadsheet/access database
Can this be done? Thanks.

Hi,
In regarding the issue, my understanding is that you want to use Excel spreadsheet as database for the Project.
I recommend you develop an import map that includes the key fields. Please refer to the link and do it step by step:

If I misunderstanding something, please let me know and upload some sample about the Excel spreadsheet.

Using JavaScript to access Database

Hi all,
I am using JSP and Tomcat for my web application.
Now i need to use Javascript to access the MS Access database. Can anyone please tell me the class and command for accessing database from javascript.
Please give me an example and that will help me. I know it is not good to access database using JavaScript. But in this situation i have to use it anyhow.
Thatnks

Hi all,
Thanks very much for your help. Now some of you said that it is not possible in JSP to access database using JavaScript, some of you said yes it is possible but not secure, I understand the both concepts.
Now my problem is last year i built a web application for my company and the scenario is like this:
The staff records their working time in that application. Now when they click a button it creates a drop down list of all clients they have and that list is in HTML as SELECT TAG. So the select tag includes 100+ client name.
Now they can add as many client as they want for example if i have worked with 10 clients i will create 10 drop down list by pressing button called ADD CLIENT and will record their hours.
Now from the description above you guys can understand that an OnClick Javascript event in involved to create multiple dropdown list.
Now what i want is that i want those 100+ client list to come from database rather than typing them in the SELECT TAG. and please remember the SELECT tag is implemented in Javascript using innerHTML event.
Now for those of you who suggested that it is not possible to use Javascript in accessing database, can you please tell me how can i implement Onclick event using JSP/Serverlet and can create dynamic drop downlist?
Thanks for your time to read this long message.

Moved to Server 2012 getting Access Database Corruption

We moved our company file shares to a new Windows 2012 server and are now having issues with Access databases becoming corrupted when accessed by multiple clients at the same time. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? We
were not having any issues with this on the 2008 or 2003 servers these were on previously.

We migrated from a Windows 2008 file server cluster with four nodes to a Windows 2012 R2 file cluster with two nodes.
After the migration to the new file server cluster our customers running Windows 7 SP1 started reporting Access Database corruption and slow file access.
However, if the SAME Access Database file was hosted on a Windows 2012 R2 file server NOT in a cluster there was no corruption.
I will not bore you with all the tests we ran while trying to determine the cause but here is what we did to fix the issue.
The solution was provided via an open case with Microsoft.
1. Create the following registry entries on all Windows 2012 R2 Servers in the new file server CLUSTER and reboot.
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters
Value: DisableLeasing
Type: DWORD
Data: 0x1

Domain access issue with limited user access

Hi all,
I have to deploy a flex site (without the flex data services,
unless essential) that acesses xml data from servlets that arent
neccessarily under the same domain, and some will be physically
located on different servers.
I am using the cross-domain policy file, and this works fine
provided the server is logged in with Administrative privlidges.
However if it is logged in under a domain (with some limited
access) I can no longer access the required data. This data is
still available if I access it direct by typing the location into
the browser address bar. So there is definately something stopping
me from accessing the data within flex.
If anyone has encountered similar problems and come up with
solutions (which does not involve forwarding data using additional
servlets) then your tips and advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

It was issue due to some configurations in 'External Facing Extension Service' inside configuraton-content management-global service.

How do I open a pdf stored in a Microsoft Access database using Visual Basic studios 2012

Currently I am unable to find a valid method of being able to open a pdf stored in a Microsoft Access database using Visual Basic studios 2012. I've tried displaying the entire database on a form, but when I do this all the other columns show up with
the correct data besides the one containing the pdf's, it just displays <binary data> in each row down the column. I also tried another method with which you use the database as a dataset and can drag and drop the rows and columns into the form, which
again works for all the other columns besides the one containing the pdf's but this time I'm unable to interact with the column at all.
Not too sure if this is in the correct place, but any answers or help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Alex,
This forum is dedicated to Project and Project Server. You might get better response, if you post to a Visual Basic forum. Here are couple I could find.

The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file in Report Builder 3.0

I am trying to build a report in Report Builder 3.0. I created the Data Source to point to my Excel file and the Data Set. I drag a couple of fields on to the canvas and then choose Run. I get the error: "The Microsoft Access
database engine cannot open or write to the file. It is already opened exclusively by another user". I am using the Excel driver. Why am I getting this message? How can I fix this?

No, now I am getting the error message again. It is quite long:
ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file '(unknown)'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.

Is it possible to Install the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 if we are running Microsoft Office 2010 32-bit?

So we are running Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, Version 14.0.7015.1000
(32-bit)
This is what is installed via our Network and Network licensing.
I am trying, in vain, to read and write a .xlsx file via a C# Edit Script in a SSIS Package. And I have tried using...
string StringConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + sourceFile + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\"";
And this tells me that this has not been installed. So when I go and try and get the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 64-bit, which would allow me to use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 and allow me to read, write, and process this .xlsx file, it tells me
I cannot install it because I already have 32-bit installed and it wants me to un-install Microsoft Office 2010. Why? Because it is 32-bit? And I can't do that because this is what we have and what we're licensed for and from what I've read seems to be the
industry standard because most software vendors are ill equipped to process 64-bit right now.
So my question is this...How can I use a C# Edit Script to read and process a .xlsx file? Because if I try using...
string StringConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + sourceFile + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\"";
It then tells me that the file is not in that format.
Please excuse me for asking this question in a couple of different ways out here but I cannot for the life of me seem to be able to get an answer as to how I can process a .xlsx file with a C# script and which driver to use that will make this work.
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
ITBobbyP85

Hi ITBobby85,
If the excel version in the Connection Manager is Microsoft Excel 2010 (.xlsx), we should use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB provider.
We can't install 32bit and 64bit parts of office on the same machine. We will get an error as you said when we run the installer to install the 64bit version of the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable in the machine where a 32bit version
of Microsoft Office installed. To fix this issue, please download and install the 32bit version of the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable with the link below:

The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file \\fileserver\db\access.mdb

Hi,
I have Windows Server 2012 with SQL 2012 Standard SP1. I am using linked server, and Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable to access my database file made in Microsoft Access (.mdb) from network file server.
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'MyLinkedServer', @srvproduct=N'MyLinkedServer', @provider=N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', @datasrc=N'\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\files\mydatabase.mdb'
My SQL service is running with domain service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$ , i have added Full control for file share and NTFS permission on my file server folder (C:\Files).
When I open (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my DB server SQL Management studio, I can browse tables and everything works.
The problem is, if I open SQL management studio (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my File server or any other computer, when trying to browse my linked server i got error:

I do not have any other program using my access database, and user has full control. I am trying to use in security mode - "For a login not defined in the list above, connections will be made without using a security context", i have also tried all four options.
I am confused becouse it works from SQL server but from any SQL client domain member computer/server it does not work.
I have same problem in another environment where I have Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2 SP2.
Please help.

NTFS must be fine since it works from same server using same accounts.
As I understand, adding my access file to Access trusted location could be a problem. I have tried now to add my access database file location to trusted locations for user which is my SQL service user (Windows Service - AD managed service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$)
and my test user which I use to connect to sql server as a client from sql management studio. (Account is Domain Admins and have full permissions on SQL server also)
I have added this .reg:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Documents]
"LastPurgeTime"=dword:01592874
"DisablePromptOpenNetworkTrustedDocuments"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations]
"AllowNetworkLocations"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\Location0]
"Description"="My file server"
"AllowSubFolders"=dword:00000001
"Path"="\\\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\\files\\"
I have done this for SQL service account user and my personal test account as I said. I have tried to logoff and restart sql service and all servers also.
The same problem still persists.
Anyway, thank you for giving me a hint.

Why is the Microsoft Office Access Database Engine data source looking for a workgroup information file?

While trying to import to MSSQL2012 from SSDT using the wizard from an Access 2013 DB (.accdb) which is password protected, I get the following error with the username blank and the password field correctly populated:
Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user. (MicrosoftOffice Access Database Engine)
But according to this link:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/what-happened-to-user-level-security-HA010342116.aspx
MSA10 and beyond shouldn't need workgroup information files, although it's not clear to me if they are
created/used or not.
I can point the wizard to some local version of system.mdw at Advanced -> All -> Jet OLEDB:System Database, and then the error becomes:
Not a valid account name or password. (Microsoft Office Access Database Engine)
for any username I can think of.
Questions:
1. Why does this data source insist on looking for a workgroup information file even though user-level security should be disabled?
2. Why does the Open dialog box for the Microsoft Access Database Engine have *.mdb as the only selectable filetype?
3. How can I get around these errors for an .accdb that is password protected?
Thanks!

Hi JordanPG,
To connect to Access 2007 or later database, we need the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver. SQL Server only installs the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB driver which can be used to connect to Access 2003 or earlier database. Besides, the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB
driver only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver has both 32-bit and 64-bit version. However, the 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB drivers cannot be installed on a single server.
According to your description, you can use the 64-bit SQL Server Import and Export Wizard to load data from the Access database, so the 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver is installed on your computer. Since the BIDS/SSDT is a 32-bit application, the
64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB Provider is not visible in BIDS/SSDT. So, when you said that you select “Microsoft Access (Microsoft Access Database Engine)" in the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard (it is actually the 32-bit version) started by the SSDT,
I think it should be “Microsoft Access (Microsoft Jet Database Engine)”. Because the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB driver only supports Access 2003 or earlier format, it threw the error “Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Unrecognized
database format 'C:\myDB.accdb'”.
In this situation, you have two approaches to avoid this issue:
Launch the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard (64-bit), and select “Save SSIS Package” to “File System” on the “Save and Run Package” page. Then, the package will be saved to a specified directory. After that, you can add this existing package to a SSIS
project. The status of the corresponding OLE DB Connection Manager should be Work Offline, or the OLE DB Source will throw an error about 32-bit driver if the Connection Manager is not in Work Offline status, you can ignore that and the package can run successfully
in SSDT as long as the project is set to run in 64-bit runtime mode.
However, for the SSDT 2012 integrated with Visual Studio 2012, the 64-bit runtime mode is disabled. In this situation, to run the package in SSDT, you have to uninstall the 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB drivers and install the 32-bit one. Here is the

MS Access 2010 Database can not be compacted

MS Access 2010 be can not be compacted
We have have MS access database size is closed to 2G. And user can't to compact the database. Is there a way to result the problem?
Thanks

Hi,
Could you please tell us how do you compact Access database? You can follow these suggestions to compact it again.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/access-help/compact-and-repair-a-database-HA010341740.aspx
Is the database split? Front End or Back End? If split is it the Front End or Back End that won't compact. If not split, most likely you have corrupted mdb file.
Or you can try to create a new database and import all of the database objects from the old database into the new database to check if it works.
