Microsoft Access Issue

I have an application that allows the user to open MS Access
database files. The files are launched through the cflocation tag
and when they are launched, the user receives "You do not have
exclusive access to the database at this time. If you proceed to
make changes, you may not be able to save them later." How can I
prevent this message from popping up - do I have to open database
files a certain way??
Thanks for your help!!

You're CFLOCATing to an Access MDB? Why?
Is the MDB serving as a datasource also? If so, CF will have
an exclusive lock on the file while a connection is
established.

Microsoft Access 2003 - Import xls issue

I'm having an issue with oracle SQL developer which exports an xls file then I proceed to import that xls in Microsoft Access 2003. I got a following error message related to the headings.
"The first row contains some data that can't be used for valid Access field names. In these cases, the wizard will automatically assign field names."
If I proceed with this issue in Access, it'll bring up an error message about importing the xls in Access.
I have a solution by removing the trailing column via Excel application then import the xls. I wonder any one have any better wayaround this issue?
I have the latest version and it has 2 patches.
Thanks in advance.

I forgot to mention the last column has some trailing spaces in the first row.

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.

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:

Remote Desktop - Pinch and Zoom compatibility with Microsoft Access

Hi guys, not sure which forum to place this into but here we go.
We use Windows 8.1 tablets and RDP to a 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Server, we can pinch and zoom with Office 2007 Excel, Word without issues.
I would like to know if there is a list of programs that's compatible with pinch and zoom because it looks to me like Microsoft Access (2007 version) isn't compatible with pinch and zoom but I need proof for my IT manager.
Can you tell me if I should be able to pinch and zoom a database windows within MS Access?

Hi,
As per my research there is no such description whether which program compatible with pinch and zoom but still as this seems more relate to tablet question. You can ask your comment over there for more perfect answering.

Questions about the future directions of InfoPath and Microsoft Access

Because I have been confused about the future directions of InfoPath and Access, I wrote a short blog post, which I have pasted below. My question is, can Microsoft provide some more guidance on Access vs InfoPath? If Access is indeed the
the future direction, can you please provide some pointers to resources that can help us transition.
A Short Review of MS Access, SharePoint ,InfoPath (2013)
After the November 2012 SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas (#spc12) there were a number of blog posts and people saying that Access 2013 was great and would be replacing InfoPath.
Marc Anderson and
Ruven
Gotz have short posts summarizing #SPC12 and touch on the subject of InfoPath and Access. I also spoke with several individuals shortly after #SPC12 and they were excited about Access 2013.
Since I rely heavily on InfoPath for much of what I do, I wanted to kick the tires and see what everyone was talking about. First, a few notes about SharePoint 2013 and Office 2013.
Microsoft should rename Access: If you have tried to
bing the word Access, then you know that the search results are overwhelming, because the word "access" is used for so many other purposes.
Use the RTM version of Office 2013! I was performing my investigations by leveraging the Office 365 Beta and the Office Applications that come with it. Not much was working! After I uninstalled the Beta
version of Office 2013 and Installed the RTM version everything seemed to work.
Windows 7 and IE 9.0: The drag & drop that is being touted as
"manna from heaven" seems to work well with Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and IE 10, but it does
not work with IE 9!
Non Microsoft browsers are still second class citizens (except for the drag & drop): Microsoft has finally done away with the Active X's for datasheet view (that is brilliant!) One can now see the newly
minted datasheet view in many browsers. But I still find that one needs to be in IE to do a number of key manual opeartions. For example pasting numerous rows of data from a spreadsheet into the new sheet view works only in IE.
Access 2013
Microsoft Access is touted as a non developer tool. I know a number of people who are on the business side and love Access. These people will like the renewed energy that Microsoft has applied to Access. One should note that conceptually
this functionality existed in SharePoint 2010. Here is what I see that is new:
+The new version works better:Although I haven't tested it fully, it seems that many more features that work on the Desktop version of Access, now work in the published Web Application which is hosted by SharePoint 2013.
+The new version has fairly robust browser based forms: End users can now fill in data using forms that are rendered in the browser.
+The published version that resides in SharePoint now uses its own SQL server tables. So the engine appears to be SQL Server, not a modified version of Access built for a server. This stands to be quite robust, but I imagine
that some quirks will surface due to new model.
The limitations are:
- Access is pretty much its own application and does not integrate with SharePoint building blocks. For example, an Access table is not easy to integrate with a SharePoint workflow. Further, although Access forms now are visible
in a browser, they are not nearly as rich as InfoPath forms. InfoPath forms cannot easily integrate with the Access tables. In order to integrate SharePoint features and Access, one needs to tie SharePoint list(s) to Access as data sources.
This overcomplicates the model and one may very well run into synchronization issues.
In short, although I believe there will be some people who will be happy with newly minted Access, I do not think that Access will be able to replace InfoPath and Workflow technologies. I do agree that Microsoft does not seem to have put much energy into
InfoPath. If they leave a vacuum in this space, then others may very well take over, for instance Nintex Forms.

Although I agree with the comments made by Ruven and Marc after the conference please note that those blog posts are their own personal opinions and that they don't work for Microsoft. A lot of people have asked Microsoft to clarify the future of InfoPath
and the response up until now has been a deafening silence. In my opinion speculations about Access replacing InfoPath are premature.
I should also point out that most of your comments about Access 2013 above are actually about Access Services in SharePoint Server 2013. Access Services are NOT Access they are a shared service offering in SharePoint that convert and publish Access
databases and forms. As you point out once an Access database is published through Access services it is converted to SQL Server and no longer resides in Access. Of course I don't work for Microsoft either so these are all just my personal opinion.
Having said that I doubt you will get the confirmation/response that you are hoping for from any official Microsoft channel.

Custom File Extension for Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)

I'm trying to use a custom file extension for the Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv) driver.
I have updated the FileExtns registry to have my new extension.
When I issue the following it does not work.
select [NoName]
from openrowset('MSDASQL'
           ,'Driver={Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)};
                DefaultDir=c:\filedir'
           ,'select * from "file.lst"')
If I make the file a .csv it works fine. However, if it has an extension of not CSV or TXT (in this case .lst, which is in the registry setting) extension it throws the following error and cannot seem to find a solution to it.
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Text Driver] Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.". Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot get the column information from
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)".
In addition, (although I can probably find this elsewhere), I need to have the first line 'BLANK' so that it does not miss data (there is no header row). Is there a way to use OPENROWSET without BULK to basically include all rows as data?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
According to your description, I did a test with your script, and got the same message as your post. Usually, by default, the Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv) supports the four extensions file, such as *.asc, *.csv, *.tab, *.txt. To solve this issue,
I recommend you try to save the LST file in the above format, then use OPENROESET to get data from the supported extensions file in SQL Server.
In addition, the
OPENROWSET function is mainly used to retrieve remote data from an OLEDB data source, when you use OPENROWSET without BULK, provider_name is a necessary parameter in the script. However, the OPENROWSET (BULK...) is mainly called from a SELECT…FROM clause
within an INSERT statement, when importing bulk data from a data file into SQL Server table. Thus if you need to import bulk data, you should use the basic syntax: INSERT ... SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK...), also there are some alternatives, such as
BULK INSERT
and
BCP .

Microsoft Access report to pdf-hyperlinks don't work

Hi,
Does anyone have a solution to hyperlinks not working when a Microsoft Access report is converted to a pdf? The hyperlinks work when I am in the Access report, but once I convert to a pdf (Acrobat 9), the links don' t work.
Thanks,
Jamie

How did you convert? In looking at the PDF Maker options for AA8 in ACCESS 2007, there does not seem to be a link button in the preferences. That may the issue and I do not have a solution for that.

Launching Microsoft Access from Internet Explorer to view a downloaded MDB file opens the wrong file (not a problem if I use Firefox)

When clicking on a link (in Internet Explorer 9) to download an Access MDB file and then choosing to open the file directly in Microsoft Access (2007) instead of saving it, the file is copied to Temporary Internet Files but Microsoft Access tries to open
a different file and displays an (Unrecognized database format) error.
When I click on the option to open the file, the MDB file is copied to Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 but instead of that file, Access tries to open a different (incorrect) file located in Temporary Internet Files\Content.MSO (e.g. in the above error
message, NativeView.do is an XML file containing an error message).
I don't see this problem with Word, Excel or PowerPoint files. When opening a Word file (without saving) the Word file is copied to Content.IE5 but an identical .tmp file is created in Content.MSO which when opened in Microsoft Word displayed the required file
correctly. The same happens for Excel files. PowerPoint appears to be handled a little differently (no .tmp file created in Content.MSO but the required file is still copied to Content.IE5) but the PPT file is still opened correctly in Microsoft PowerPoint.
I think the Content-Type "application/msaccess" is fine because Internet Explorer does launch Microsoft Access. It just tries to open the wrong file (or so I think). However, it looks like the file type is not being determined. Here is what I noticed
when trying to open different Microsoft Office files using Internet Explorer:
The last one is the MDB file. As you can see, only for this type of file, the "Type" (Microsoft Office Access 2007?) is not displayed in this Open/Save dialog box.
On Firefox, I don't see this problem. When I tried clicking on the link to the MDB file in Firefox, Microsoft Access was launched and the file was opened correctly. Is there something I can do so the MDB file is opened properly using IE? I can add/change headers
in the HTTP response that writes this file to the output stream (on disk) if that helps.
Thanks for your time!

Sounds like a problem symptom to be discussed in either an IE forum or an Access forum, not here. How did you come to post here? ForumsRedesign. That might be an on-topic issue for this forum. <eg>
Can you find your way to either of those other forums easily from here? Another on-topic question for here I think. ; )

JDBC driver for Microsoft Access

Hi, I have gone through the blogs and threads related to this topic. I found contradicting threads one saying we need to deploy Access JDBC driver and another saying no need to deploy JDBC driver for Access.
Integrate PI7.0 with MS Access 2003 Database - Says need to install driver for Access
Re: Problem when connecting to MS Access through JDBC Adapter. - Says no need to install driver for Access
I am now confused if I need to ask my Basis team to deploy driver for this. If some one has executed this scenario successfully, could you please confirm whether a driver needs to be installed or not. Also if it is required to install a driver, could you please let me know from where I can download the driver.
My PI version is 7.1 and Access version is MS Access 2007. PI is deployed on Linux.
Without asking for deploying driver I have configured scenario File->PI->Access and I am getting below error in my receiver JDBC communication channel.
"Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Error when attempting to get processing resources: com.sap.aii.af.lib.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: DriverManagerException: Can not establish connection:: SAPClassNotFoundException: jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
Please suggest how to resolve this issue.

Hi .
The format for Access 2007 is accdb . Are you using this format or MDB?
Anyway try this:

ODBC Microsoft Access Driver Error

Help! I'm a novice. I have PSE3.0 installed on my laptop (HP Pavillion) which has the Windows XP operating system. It has been working ok for a couple of years and is now causing problems. I was able to import scaned items and photos from files on my hard drive. A couple of days ago, when I tried to do that, I received the following message "[Microsoft [ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] cannot open database]. It may not be a datbase that your application recognizes or the file may be corrupt." I was also not able to import photos directly from my camera chip. Is this an Adobe problem or a MS problem? Any suggestions as to how to fix? Thanks. Hank

Hello Barb,
Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately that didn't work. When I clicked on "recover" it appeared to go to 66% and then the computer froze up. I had to do a "hard" shutdown.
I've done a defrag which the system told me was not necessary. That didn't help. I have approx 50% of free space on my hard drive. So I don't think space is an issue.
For the past few months both the HP photo package and Adobe have been opening when I download photos from my camera. Is it possible that the two programs are somehow interferring with each other. On my last download, the photos wouldn't download to PSE3 and i received the ODBC error message. The photos did download to the HP program.
I also tried to reinstall the PSE3 program but I received a message that said I currently have a more recent version of Adobe (I suspect that is a reference to the Adobe Reader program) and terminated the installation.
I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks Hank

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.

I thought this was weird so I downloaded the Assets database from Microsoft to determine if it was my database or something else. After it was downloaded and saved to my computer, I attempted to publish it to SharePoint and I got the same error.
What is weird, though, is that if I use the assets web database template in SharePoint (the one that is preloaded), it works fine. Once I open that database it in Access though and click sync, I get the same error message.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

I tried it again this morning creating a completely new table / form and this is the error I get:

Database Microsoft Access

This is my website
http://www.academytexas.com/index.asp,
currently I'm using Microsoft access to do the database storing and
updating of News, when i upload to this sever it start giving
problem of loading the page why?is because i am using microsoft
access? or because I am using ASP script?
I done it my local hosting(own computer using IIS, window xp)
it doesn't have problem loading of information please help
thanks.

Hello,
It could be a path problem on the host's server.
You might try using a map path function like this in your
connection string:
STRING = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="
Server.MapPath("access_db") & "\mydatabase.mdb;User
Id=admin;Password="
-or-
You could try an OLEDB DSN-Less connection instead of using a
DSN. It's not
hard to do.
Step 1 is to figure out the location of the root directory on
the host's
server..That's very easy to do yourself.
Just make an asp page (I named mine "findit.asp"), and put
this code in it:
<body>
<%
Response.Write("The location of this page is:<br>")
Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_TRANSLATED")
& "<br>")
Response.Write("The location of my root directory
is:<br>")
Response.Write(Server.MapPath("\"))
Response.Write Path
%>
</body>
Upload it to the same location as your site's home page.
Once your new asp page is uploaded, just navigate to that
page in your
browser.
For my site, as an example, the page displays this:
The location of this page is:
d:\hosting\mysite\findit.asp
The location of my root directory is:
d:\hosting\mysite
Now that you know the root directory location on their
server, you can
figure out the path to your database.
My database folder is called _private, and it happens to be
in the root
directory along with my home page.
So I just needed to add the database folder name (_private)
and the database
inside's name (mydatabase.mdb) to the root directory
location:
d:hosting\mysite\_private\mydatabase.mdb
That's your Data Source path.
The connection string would look something like this:
= "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=d:hosting\mysite\_private\mydatabase.mdb;User
ID=;Password=;" Const
dbType = "Access"
IMPORTANT: If you are using a local testing server, make a
copy of your
connection asp page as a backup.
The reason? The connection information you are going to put
in this file
will only work on the host's server.
Once you upload the connection.asp page with the changes for
the host,
you'll need to change your local copy back to your DSN so it
will work on
your local testing server.
Upload to server.
Please note: From now on, when you upload (or "put" if you're
using DW)
files that refer to your connection asp page you're going to
get a warning
that your connection asp on the host is different than your
local copy.
Always say "No" to updating it, or you'll replace the
DSN-Less connection
with your local DSN one.
I guess your problem might also be a permissions issue. Did
you set the
appropriate read/write permissions on the directory your
database is in?
I hope this helps.
Take care,
Tim
